PHILOSOPHY OF RANDlLL'S SUPPORTERS.
Inauguration Of the Campaign Around the
HOSpitablc Beard.
THE LOUISIANA QUESTION THREATENING.
The Chairmanship Of the Committees and
What is Indicated by Them.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

The excitement the for the Speakership
has died out. and vctors vanqushed have been
fraternizing all day tho enthusiastic manner
II is only fair to say that the estimation OF nine out
Of ten the selection of Kerr for the
will lend new spirit TO the democratic majority
in their determination to make q good record
in the Forty fourth Congress the Presidential
election Now that all faction feeling has been buried
with the dissolution OF the leading democrats 20
SO Ear rs to say that the result Of the contest has been
fortuitous In keeping Randall upon the door Of the
House. as he is the best paramentaran OF the demo-
cratic side and the only able lock horns with ex
Speaker Blaine The Randall men know that their IA
vorite will achieve fame In the leadership OF the
House glorious enough TO reconcile him to his defeat
AS Heister Clymer, Of Pennsylvania said to-day
"Not an ungenerous word has passed the lips of the
Randall men He Is the only man that can nght Jim
Blame on the floor OF the House"
During the ballotng for Speaker Blaine was in the
Clerks ohice, sitting box containing McPherson's
nounced the ex-Speaker was exceedingly mrthfu and
by his anecdotes and witty remarks, kept the by
standers in q roar OF laughter. But when
DR.. McHafy announced that Mr.. Kerr had led
on the first ballot Blaine suddenly became quite
sober, and later. when the final was given and
Kerr declared nominated for Speaker of the House. his
head dropped and his general reminded one
OF the statue of the disconsoate Indian who perpetu
ally mourns in the group of satuary that adorns the
pedment OF the Senate wing In the language OF the
lobby, Ale wasn't going have such soft thing OF
It, putting up jobs on the democrats that Kerr was
In the chair and Randall on the floor"
In fact well recognized are the ability and the
services to the party Randall that when defeated for
tho Speakership in the last evening he was
gracefully allowed to designate the rest Of the nominees
and the election of Adams Clerk n enoc,aI eor,
pliment paid him by those who had supported Kerr
but who had declined voting for Crittcnden the avorte
of the latter for Clerk In order testify their faith in
Randall
