A combination between r,he forces In op position to Ilussell would) probably defeat him. 'Without a combination lie will prob ably bo elected. The coming ot Major ltlt tlnger lent an earnestness (ind u lm to the contest which It had lackcll before. Some thing of n final and declslv.V nature may be developed later to-night. jcmocr.its have worked themselves lip to a, blind futy over the fact that two colored men are candi dates for elective positions In the gift ot the house. The election ot cjther of them must mean to the llotubon .negro domina tion. Ot these two, Giles Hell, of Fulton, Is the more prominent, and against him the nrrows of race hatred have ben mer cilessly shot, lie Is wealthy, educated, competent and cornea quite strongly In dorsed. If be Is defeated the slight taint of Afilcan blood In Ills elns will not be responsible. It bo Is elected It will bo be cause1 he Is worthy, honest and a Repub lican, and not because of ills African de scent. Several caucuses have been ljeld to-day by Republicans from the vailous sections of the state to agree upon the snen whom they will support for the various places. Veiy little of an clfectlvo chaucter has been resolved upon, These caucuses, be cause they aro sectional and do not repre sent the state, can effect but little con ceited action Is needed. The race for chief clerk seems to Ho between Cartel". Gilllln and Church.' They and their frlinds have made life a burden to representatives. Tor dooikeeper l'ountaln, of .Moniteau, appeals to have things all his own way and for ser-geant-ut-aims lluikheart, of Me-rico, is plainly In the lead. For the other elective positions no one man seeuis to bo so inr n advance as to meilt comment. D has been developed that some seventeen members, Democrats and Republicans, ot the house nml senate, aro Ineligible at present to take their 3eats because their certificates of election do not show that they have pild taxes within the year.

MUST BE BUT ONE ISSUE, senitor blewnrt l)i hires the riiimicliil Uuestlini Must lie rar.iiiioiint to All Others. Washington, Jan. . Speaking of the St. t.ouls conference of the Populist party, Senator Stewart, of Nevada, said to-day: "1 am very much pleased with the fol lowing declaration of principles contnlned In the nddrcss of tho St. bonis conference: "We Insist upon ths restoration ot thu coinage ot gold and silver ns It existed prior to 1S73 at the ratio ot 1G to 1, without regal d to the action of any other nation, and that all p iper money shall bo Issued by the Riner.il government without the Intervention ot banks of Issue, the same to be a full legal tender. Wo also ilcclain our Implacable hostility to the further Issue of Interest bearing bonds ' "Against this Issue the Republleiin party and the 1'lcvohiml Dtmociacy present the gold standard, pure nnd simple. There Is no doubt tint n majority of tho people ot the United Stutes cordially agree with tho St. Louis conference 011 the declaration of principles above quoted. "unfortunately, however, this great Is sue Is einhart.issed bv other subjects, about which there Is n great diversity of opinion I fear It will he Impossible for the J'eople's partv or any other party to succeed In the 111 iln Issue unless It Is nindo the sole bstie. The Oman 1 platform was nude under ery dlffeient circumstances. At that time It was not known tint tho two old parties would unite upon the sln Ble Issue of tho gold stnndnrd. Roth pin tles eb pled, In their platform, that such was their purpose, and both declaied In favor of the restoration of silver either Ly tho rnltcil States alone or by inter national conference. It Is true their phit- fnnna un ntnMtninHS. llllt Still it WOS claimed by the pi ess of the West and the KOtllU Hint IJOlll OL xne 010 pareies wtiu for the fiee coinage of silver, nnd. by leason of the position of all p irtles, theie wnu prv little discussion of the money question In tho piesldentl.il canvass ot 16 -. "Since that time President Cleveland called an extra selon for the expiess purpose ot repealing all laws recognizing sliver as standard money, reducing all silver coin in existence to mere token money, and nuopimg me gom sinnunru. The gieat majority of tho Republicans ot M.rt twn nouses of conirross co-oneiated with the president In the etra session, nnd reduced the money of the United States to the gold standard. This union of tho two old parties to maintain the gold stnndnid requires the political union of nil who are opiosed to It. If that union can be effected, success Is certain. If It can not, defeat Is Inevitable. Tho importance nttnnhpil In this One issuo bV those W llO nre striving to esiaousn a goin sianiinrn Is shown by the facility with which party line's are obliterated, and It nindo u ques- "Whatever liny be the separate value of tho other measr.ies Indorsed by tho confei enee, they an- relatively of minor Im portance to the money question, nnd as they nre certain In engender antagonisms ami divide the fi lends of llmuiclal reform, It Is In the part of wisdom to subordi nate them to the main Issue, which must tlrst be settled before any other reforms aro possible."

Wnshlnglon, Jin 1. With bright skies overhead, reasonably clean pavements under foot, nnd crisp, clear, wintry air, olllclnl Washington was favored with nil the conditions necessary to the complete injoment of such a New year's dav as on ly Washington knows. Accoidlng to the time-honored custom, which was observed to the letter to-ilny, nil the olllelals called at the White House, where they were tecelvid In the oidir of their rank, to piy their respects to the ptesldent. All the cabinet secretiubs, gen erals ami admirals In turn receive the of ficials of lesser innk, nnd many conRress men and others keep open houses for their constituents nnd friends. Society In gen eral has In pist tltno given Itself over to tho making and receiving of fonmi calls, but In Washington, ns In other cities, the observance ot the tlrst day of January ns a social day has come to b" disregarded, and there were probably fewer open houses to-day than evir before. The people who did not take part In the old-fashioned ob servance to-day had tine opportunities, however, to observe tlioo who did. When a Washlnstonlan desires to make an un pleasant comparison lu thes mafiter of weather, he customnrlly speaks of New Year's day, but the year of 1S93 violated the tradition utterly, and furnished the llnest sort of a show day. The brilliancy nnd Interest of tho day were for three hours sheltered under tho roof of the ex ecutive mansion, wlicro the gaslight In the ceremonial purloin fell on banks of pilms and troopi of richly attired ladles, and many notable men. Apait fiom the interest which always attaches to the president and his family, Jim. Cleveland has a pei sonal popularity which draws many to her receptions. To-day she shook hands with every man, woman anil child who Med past lu tho long procession of three houis' length, and gave to the greeting of imcIi one a wnimth which gained for her the ever lasting friendship of the recipient. The president also grasped every caller by the hand, and had a word for ever) one when theie was time. The Inepresslble oung uter was In line, ns usuul, and one of them to-day voiced his enthusiasm appropriate ly, ns he thought, by shouting shrilly, "Hurrah for Grover," as ho walked Into the blue room. One old man, walking on crutches, seemed tired when he came In, and airs. Cleveland, noticing him, led him to a chair among the cabinet ladles, urged him to rest, and so he sat In the stato par lor for halt nn hour, watching the pro cession. Tho nnn "with wheels In his head," who has been peisonall commissioned by the Lord to do something ridiculous or dan gerous, Is the tenor of these occlusions. Ho wag on hand to-day. Very appropriate ly, he woro long hall, and after he had ptssed the police ho drew forth fronuhls pocket a document bearing weird sym bolle designs In led nnd blue, but the ap pearance of the receiving party seemed to dazzle him so that he merely shuflled nast without nuttlmr It to nnv use. The iwllcemiin who endeavors to do bis duty In compelling the observance of regulations and apprehends some high dlgnltaty of the government In his misguided zeal. Is al ways In evidence. To-elny he endeavoied to bar Secretary Lament fiom thu blue room, but leadlly leldcd Ills point when tho secretary good-naturedly revealed tils Identity. There were no accidents, how ever, and no unpleasant Incidents, and the reception was a success, although not so many people attended ns came last jcar. The old White House hnd been thor oughly prepuied for the das 's ceremonies. Outside a canopy had been erected for tho protection of the guests who came lu carriages. On the Inside canvas covers had been Hid cniefully to prevent the de struction of the lich cat nets by the tramp ling of the thousands ot feet which wire to piss over them. As In past ears the decorations of the rooms were all llot.il, but theie was noticeable difference fiom the plan of 1 ist year In the display of pot ted plants ami palms In place of the gteit binks of cut flowers which formerly gi.iced the rooms. Consequently there was something licking In color, but from an aitlstle point ot view this was mote than compensated for by the beauty of the giovvlng plants neatlj arranged In pure white jardinieres, of baski t woik de sign. The guests entered nt the main door of the mansion and, ciosslng tho lobby, passed Into the red room, where thy hail an opportunity to divest thein relves ot their wrap) and coats before en tering the blue loom, wheie the leeelvlng party was st.itlomd Two heavy couches hail been so ananged netoss this lonni as to leave a small open spice In the center, thus shielding the president, the mistress ot the White House and her servants from the long Hue of callers.
