The World's Washington special has this, which it heads "an exhibition of cool cheek." A letter received here to-day from Springfield, Ill., says that Haines, the speaker of the Democratic House of Representatives, is so well satisfied with his upward career that he is resolved to continue, and now coolly proposes to the Democrats that they elect him to the Senate. He says he will not give his vote to any other nominee of the Democratic caucus save himself. He expects to be as successful in forcing this election as he was his elevation to the speakership.
