Four candidates for the Speakership
of the House of Representatives had
arrived at Washington GA Saturday,
viz. Messrs. Randall, Cox, Wood and
Kerr. There seems to be no chance
for either of the New York candidates,
Cox aud Wood. 1t is said that Messrs
Walker, of Virginia, Sayler, Of Ohio,
Hancock, of Texas, and Banks, Of
Massachusetts, are named as compro'
mise candidates The Washington
correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Times thinks that Coy. Walker has
some positive strength, and will be in
the best position to unite discordant
elements that Sayler, of Ohio, is also
seriously thought of and that Hancock,
of Texas, has nLw some precautions.
The real battle, the correspondent
adds, seems to be between Randall and
Kerr, and Randall appears to have the
greater positive support, but neither
can command a majority Of the caucus
with the several candidates named all
in the field. Combinations will nat
urally follow, and the most skillful
management will succeed. A positive
warfare is developing against Randall
on the back-pay and salary question,
and they will be pressed with great ve-
hemence rs matter of party policy.
1t Is urged that u Democratic
House would give but little NOR
al force to repeal of the Presi-
sidential salary bill and to the reduc-
ton of expenses generally, with man
in the chair who supported heincreas-
ed pay. On the other hand, Randall
is supported for. his bold leadership,
and his friends are squaring for o
brave fight. Being the strongest of the
candidates, he is in the dangerous
position Of making all the others
agree, first of all, to combine for his
defeat, and in striking him down they
will not be particular as to the weap-
ons they employ. The cores.
pendent adds: Unless the South
can be held with reasonable unanim-
iry to him he will be defeated, and the
candidacy of Hancock is an unfavor-
able indication. Throckmorton, of Tex
as, is not yet here. When he comes,
the Southwest will take shape, and if
1t does not crystalline on Randall his
prospects will be seriously blighted. If
Governor Walker and Hancock shall
hold out and divide the South, some
new man will be the Speaker, for either
Randall or Kerr will In the end make
new man to defeat the other. Every
thing is chaotic as yet, and the combi-
nations will not take tangible shape
for week TO come. 1t is evident now
to all that no man has clear majority
OF the caucus, and uncertainty envel-
ops everything in relation to the or
ganization of the House,
