WOODS WITHDRAWAL.

WASHINGTON, November 29.-The
only thing new in the question of the
speakership to-day is the withdrawal Of
Fernando Wood. This makes ii impos-
sible to say whether Mr.. Randall or Air.
Kerr stands the better chance. Mr..
Wood gays that the scramble has be-
come so debasing that he can no longer
contend for the prize. He says he does
not withdraw in favor Of anybody. nor
in aDybOdy's interest, and that he shall
not even assume the control of his
friends and adherents. He Seems, how
ever, to be less friendly to Mr..
Cox than to others. 1t must
be confessed that some of the can.
didates are taking unusual means to fur
ther their chances, the most offensive OF
which is q personal canvass and solicit2-
ton of votes. Whatever msy be said
of Mr.. Wood, it must be admitted that
he would never descend to this He has
entered into no bargains CT promises,
and has received no pledges as to The
votes of others. II il generally supposed,
however, thSt Mr.. Wood expects the
chairmsnshiG OF the committee on ways
ard means, no matter who is elected.
Chicago TrIbune.J
WASHINGTON, November 80 Mr..
Wood states that his action was taken
without consultation with anybody; that
he had already discovered much bad
blood about the speakership fight, and
gla1ly withdrew from 1t. He further
stated ii at he had no further informa-
ton from gentlemen who were pledged
to him as to how they would vote; that
he should not announce TO any body MS
position On that contest until the eau
Gus; that he had made and asked 10
pledges as to committee position, and
should make none; and that his action
was prompted solely to harmonic the
meeting He stated further, that Mr..
Cox could not command a vote Of the
New York delegation, ana that the con-
test was now s4uarely between Kerr and
Randall.

RANDALL AND KERR.


WASHINGTON, November 29.-The
chances OF Kerr and Randall are about
equal, so fsr as can he ascertained here,
with Kerr perhaps eighty ahel d. Toe
next two days Will develop movements
that will practically decide the contest.
Combinations are being formed in the
interest Of candidates for clerk and ser
geSnt alarms, and from these a trade
will be made that will give the gavel to
either Kerr or Randall. John G Thomp-
son, chairman of the Ohio State Demo-
cratic committee In the late caIu paigu
in that Stste, is being pushed for ser
geant-at-arms by the united Ohio dele
cation. A report prevails tonight tuat
the Ohio delegation have proposed to
vote solidly for Randall, il Randsl's
friends will agree to support Thompson.
This addition 10 Randsll's strength, it is
claimed, will be sufficient to nominate
him.

TILDEN AND HIS BACKEBs.

WASHINGTON, November 80. -
There is a strong feeling among the
western and southern delegations against
the open and shameless interference OF
Tilden's hackers in this contest, and
western and southern D 9mocrats who
lend themselves to the scheme will be
remembered. The arrogant assumptions
OF the Kerr crowd that their candidate
is an individual of exceptional purity
and true gOodnt So, not made CT COM
mon clay, and that his services in hold
ing the Democratic party up by the tail
are necessary to its salvation, are bitter
~ resented by that large number of
Democrats who have 10 understanding
with Mr.. Kerr relative to craftsmanship
and places on the ways and means COM

THE INDEPENDENTS.


WASHINGTON, November 30.-The
Liberals or Independents in the next
house ara eight in number. There is
some speculation here as to their party
affiliations in the coming congress. but
the prevailing impression is that they
will go into the Democratic caucus next
Friday. Mr.. Banning, in conversation
on the subject to-day, expressed this
opinion, and said that so far
as he is concerned, he certainly
should do SC. He does not see the
use OF the necessity of keeping up an in
dependent organization, and believes it
to be the duty of every man in congress
and out OF it who desires to see reform
in the administration Of the government
to join the Democratic party. If General
Bsnk5 shall show his sympathy with
the Democrats Of the h0use by going
into their caucus, there can be no doubt
that his claims and qualifications will
be considered in the organization of the
committees.

M'CLURE AND WHITEHEAD, FOR CLERK.
Philadelphia Times.l
WASHINGTON, November 2S.-There
was little furry in NewsI aper Row
Saturday about Mcclure, Of the Times,
being brought out as candidate Tor
clerk Of the house. It was started TO
Pennsylvania delegation, Just as Clymer
has been pressed for the speakership.
But Ciymer promptly and peremptorily
declined, and the anticipated contest for
the Clerkship was squ9lched by a dis.
patch fcom Mcclure 10 q leading Penn
sylvaniau this morning, saying that
any use OF his name was not only
unauthorized, but that he would
not, under any circumstances, accept
the place if elected. Colonel Thomas
Whitehead, member of the last con-
gress, has issued circular letter to the
members, announcing himself as a can
dIdate for the clerkship. He called on
your correspondent recently and hoped
to be generously considered by the
Times. He was one OF the officers OF
Fitzhugh Lees cavalry brigade that
visited the editor in October, 1862,
during Stuarps celebrated raid into
ChambeTsburg, and with a dozen others
enjoyed the hospitality Of the northerner
whose name was on their list for capture
ard transfer to Libby.
KERR AHEAD FOR SPEAKER,
st. Louis Republican,
WASHINGTON, December 1.-Great
efforts were mace last night and to-day
TO spread an impression that the declin-
alton OF Wood would help and was in
the interest Of Randall. There ia no
doubt, however, that this is incorrect
Kerr has gained most. The fight is be-
coming very hot, and no little feeling is
apparent. Randall's friends are most
ell thusiastic in outward show, and are
making desperate efforts to carry things
with grand huTrsh. Among them is
almost the entire body of Newspaper
correspondents, with whom Randall has
always been personally popular on &C.
count Of his Ohliging ways of telling al
the news he had. Notwiths landing the
fuss they are making for Randall,
it may be relied on that Kerr has
gained most in the last two days. Cox
of course is out of the race, and the out
come depends upon the way his vote
goes after bis name is dropped and the
turn taken by the members who are
now uncommittt d, such as the Alabama
delegation. The Missouri vote will
st and on the first ballot: Kerr, 8; Cox,
3, and Randall, l. On the last ballot
Kerr, Is. Assurances were received by
Kerr to-day that he would get the unan-
imous support of the Georgia, Tennes-
see, Virginia and West Virginia delega-
lions. The Massachusetts delegation are
as yet uncOmmitted, but the prospect is
strong that they will go for Kerr. Ran
dail's most notable accession to. day has
been Hon. John Morrissey, who has
come over from New York to work for
him.

WASHINGTON, November 3O.-Some
OF the State delegations, 1t is telegTaphed
here, nave held conferences to decide
whom they will support for speaker.
That from Tennessee met at Nashville
to-day. Thus far the representatives
show very clearly that, with one or two
exceptions, DO delegation is unit for
any one candidate. A careful computa-
ton made to- day, after consulting with
mem hers ON nearly sll the States,
shows very decidedly that Mr.. Kerr has
a plurality already. His support from
Georgia, Alabams, Kentucky, Mary
land and Virginia, is even in excess of
previous estimates.
