The iinj ortan e *.o the democratic party at !aige of this complete under standing between Speaker Crisp and Mr Cleveland can hardly he overestimated. Imlhe first place, it ri moves all d::ncer of a hitter fight over the Speakership of the next House, ard consequent ly .nuauii that perface harmenv ?t*;M ? enlist lie* *een those who nill c n tnol the legislation of the House and the ?~!c mo* ratic Prei-Hent; r.nd everything fcr the fu ^^Wre siieecfs r>\ [ he parly.

He will! support Mr Cleveland's arlroinistra-! tkm as iovaHy as any man in the ^Senate,- except in the matter of >?p ypointiug mt'gwumps or newly con ted democrat?, of ihe Wayne MiVeagh strij>e, to office.
