SHERIDAN'S CHANCES. Special Dhpatch to Tin DXK. S11EUIIUN TUOVTED OU1. WASHINGTON , November 1C. Prominent - v inont republicans are much in favor of thu nomination of Gon. Sheridan , Bo haa the friendship of Grant with out having incurred the hostility of Grant's enemies , and it is calculated that ho can got the Catholic vote , the Irish vote and the soldier vote. Shori- dau'a military career might not afford much clue to his presidential policy , but it would enable campaign orators to wake much enthusiasm and become very eloquent without committing themselves hopelessly on the issues of the day. One of the growing issues ia tar ill' , a dry matter , the statistics of which it takes a good deal ofjpatiouco and industry to understand und campaign orators would bo glad enough to got away from advalorcm and taxation and thu relation of coat to profit , and send Early whirling up the Shenandoah , or tight over again the battle of Winchester , subse quent to Sheridan's arrival on the Held. There is , by the way , n strong proapecb that congress this winter will perpetuate the grades of general and lieutenant general. Such action would bo gratifying to Sheridan and Han cock , the two most popular oflicers in the service , and more li'ccly to bo gratified because each ia closely iden tified with ono of the great political parties. VEST PULLED DOV/W. A LIVELY INTERVIEW WITH TUB MIS- SOUIU SENATOR. Spuci.i' tl the Cincinnati Commercial. WASHINGTON , November 14. The Critic has the following interview with Senator Vest : "Colonel , " said the reporter , "it looks as though the democrats had made a clean swoop in Missouri thin time except in the Ninth congressional district , where it appears that Dr. McLean , republican , has beaten Col. Broadhoad. " "Yes , and I think Col. Broadhoad is elected. That seemed the general impression when I left St. Louis Sat urday night. However , if Broadhead is beaten , ho can attribute it ip two causes only , to-wit : The liberal use of money by McLean , who has an axe to grind in congress , and the unusual stupidity of the St. Louis Republican , which paper took occasion tu make an unwarranted attack upon Lirry Har- rigan , the democratic nominee for ehentF. This attack cost Broadhoad six hundred votes at ono voting pre cinct alone. It simply shown the folly of papers being a little too previous. ' ' * "Senator , whom do you think the Missouri delegation will favor for speaker of the Forty-eighth congress ? " "Carlisle , of Kentucky. Every member from Missouri is in fiver of him save ono. " "Who Is he ? " "When I say ono I .mean Judge Buckuer. I say this because ho has always been a warm supporter ot Sim Randall. I do not know , however , that Judge Buckner will support Mr. Randall this time. I do know that if ho does ho will do it in opposition tn the wishes of these who elected him. " "Why do yon favor Mr. Carlisle , Soiutor , for speaker , na I take it you do , from what you uaj ? ' "Bocauso ho ia . a broad-gaugo man. Carlisle is a man who is not hampered by any narrow views on any eubject lie ij ) a man who is libaral and con- eorvativn on all questions lie is a man of largo brain and Is not at all vain in anything , lie will'if elected speaker , and ho will bo as sure as he lives , so form his committees aa to give satisfaction to all sections , where as , if Sam Randall wore to bo chosen , he would do as ho has done in the past , organize the house com mitteea in the interest of a high pro tective tariff and the monopolies of the the country , which would result in the defeat of the democratic party in 1881 You will observe ( hat Mr , Randall , in the formation of his committees in the forty-fourth and forty-sixth con greanea , so org-ini ; : d thorn aa to com plotuly disgust thu people , und vro nut only lost the house , but the presi dency , by his bull-hoidodnoaa in the Itorest of eastern monopolies However - over , I do not think it is necosaary to discuss the speakorahip , for the reason that I am satisfied that Carlisle will get it on the Tint ballot in the demo cratlo caucus , " ' 'Well , senator , what about the other oflbera of the house ? " "I think John G , Thompson , of Ohio , will bo sergoant-at arms Ho ought to have it. Ho has done yeo man service for the party , and men who do the work are the men who ought to bo rewarded. " "Who have you in your mind for clerk , senator ? " "Well , the organization of the house belongs to members of the house and not to senators , but I would in the matter of the selection of clerk as in other officers , suggest that ul jectious bo properly represented and therefore , would say that the clerk nhouldcomo from the oaat. " "Havo you any ono in your mind for the plnce ? " "I have not. " "How would ( x-Congroesmau W. S. Stcngor , of Pennsylvania , do , sena tor ? " "Ho member of the was a Forty- fourth , was ho not ? " "y.cs , sir. " "Ho would ba a capital selection , He is a man of ability , character and standing , both ns a citizen mid poli tician , lie is a good organizer , and comes from the right sociton , " "Have you any ono in your mind for doorkeeper ? " "I think that the houno could not do bettor than elect General W. A , Field , of Georgia. He was the door keeper of the last democratic house , and a bettor officer than ho made would bo hard to find , I think with Carlisle for speaker ; John Thompson , of Ohio , for scrguaiit-at-arms ; Stongor , if Pennsylvania , for clerk ; Field , of Georgia , fur doorkeeper , and the poet * master from the Pacific coast , there could not ba any grumbling as hero- oforo. Besides , all sections would bo jroporly represented in the organiza tion of the house. You will observe .hat the east has but a small number of democratic members elect. As lear as I can estimate she tas , counting Maryland and Delaware , 47 members , aa follows : tlaaaachuaotto 3 , Connecticut 3 , Now fork 21 , Now Jersey 3 , Pennsylvania 12 , Delawnro 1 , Maryland 4.

" "Well , senator , dropping the or ganization of the house and coming to .nothur important political question , ! desire to have your opinion aa to vho ia most likely to bo the demo cratic nominee for president. Tn other word ? , do you not think if Mr. Cleveland , governor-elect for thostato of New York , makes a reasonably ; oed governor and keeps the two wiags of the democratic party to gether , thereby preserving harmony , hat ho will be a very formidable man or the nomination ? ' "If ho does as you suggest , ho is as good as nominated now. " "What about v'ice president ? How will Joe McDonald , of Indiana , do ? " "Sploudid. I had rather vote for Joe McDjnald for president than any iiau in the United States. I think 10 would make the beat president wo lave had ( or years , but if Cleveland does as you indicated a while ago , nothing can prevent his nomination and election. With him or Joe Mo Donald for president und Carlisle 'or speaker the democracy would hold ; he country for fifty years. It would mean the dawn of another and now democracy , a'democracy in full accord with the ago and day in which wo ive a progressive and broad-gauged jolicy. " CAPITAL NOTES.
