NATIONAL TIPS.
What Reed and Porter Ai
Trying to Do.
President Polk’s— Rumored
Support of Ingalls.
Republicans Busy anti Uneasy—Congress¬
man Clements Looks Matters Squarely
in tlie Fare—President Folk, of the Na¬
tional Alliance, tlie Talk or the Day.
Judge Peters on the Alliance.
Washington, Nov. 96. —The Republi¬
can leaders in congress are said to have
prepared a new reapportion men t bill, but
it will not be offered in the house until
after the holidays. It is reported that
Mr. Porter, superintendent of the census,
and Speaker Reed prepared the bill, and
it provides for 332 members of the house,
being exactly the number in the present
house. The Dum o I bill is so unfair that
Reed came to the conclusion that a new
one would have to be framed. It is un¬
derstood that the new measure gives
Maine onty three members instead of
four that she now has, but partisan ad¬
vantage is gained in causing Democratic
states to lose members, and gains are
given to Republican states of the west in
growing larger proportion Democratic than accorded the
states.
Congressman Clements is here. He
was asked if he was not surprised at the
result of the elections. The reply was:
“Oh, yes; the election was quite a
surprise forty in what some I had particulars. figured the Demo¬ About
was
cratic big majority certainly in the next house.
victory gives the Demo¬
cratic party every possibility of electing
their president in 1892. The nominee
will probably depend on which of the
New York leaders can carry the New
York delegation, although a western
man might be nominated in spite of all.
I do not think the Democratic conven¬
tion will merely convene to indorse the
action of New York in the matter, and
some western man may carry away the
prize from both Cleveland and Hill.”
Fresldcut Tolk Charged With It-
There is said to be quite a stir among
some of tlie head men of the Alliance
over a report that President Polk, of
that organization, has been secretly try¬
ing to aid in the re-election of Ingalls to
the senate from Kansas. At first Polk
and has been hoping that if anything
bapponed re-elected, by which he Senator (Polk) might Vance slip could in
not bo
and capture the prize. Ingalls is one of
the worst defamers the south has had to
calculated fight against in public life, and it is not
is really to help trying Polk in the help south if bit¬ he
secretly to the
ter, malignant Ingalls to a re-election.
Judge Peters Speaks of the Alliance.
Congressman Peters, of Kansas, who
is one of tlie Republican members of the
house committee on appropriations, re¬
turned to the eity today. He was not a
candidate for re-election, and, therefore,
was not in the wreck when the recent
“smash-up" people occurred. He says that Al¬
liance undoubtedly have a major¬
ity of the Kansas legislature, and that if
they make up their minds to stick solidly
together, they can elect their man for
senator to succeed Ingalls. The margin,
however, is small, and, if the Alliance
men do not stand together, Ingalls may
possibly secure a re-election, as five or
six of the Alliance men claim that they
are not pledged, and profess to be ardent
admirers of Mr. Ingalls. Judge Peters
says that the result in Kansas was a gen¬
eral idea surprise, and that no one had any
that so many of the Republican can¬
didates would be defeated. Everywhere
that Ingalls spoke lie had the most en¬
thusiastic audiences apparently and tre¬
mendous in size, but the farmer vote was
secretly marshalled, and the Republican
leaders' did not know how they were
going In Lis to vote.

the treasury, Fifth Auditor Habercom
says that the business of the bureau is in

BIG COTTON FIRMS FAIL.
Two Hon»e» Interested—New York and

New York, Nov. 26.—The firm of
Richard H. Allen Sc Co., bankers and

Broad street, have made an assignment

merchants, at No. 8 Madison street, have
made an assignment. The firm was

The special assignment was precipitated
by tlie suspension of Richard H. Allen &
