ANALYSIS Of men could hardly draw off and
let the prize go to an incompetent man by dc
fault | imagine that lildon has encouraged
Morrison to. hope for success, but that his pre-
ference Is for Randall, and that the former
will in the end see that while he was tickled
with a straw some one else was given the
game.
Now as to Sayler. He has a host of friends
If the session was expected to be a common
place one, with nothing but dry details of
rushing appropriation bills through, he could
possibly be elected. He made a good many
enemies, however, for allowing Kasson, of
Iowa, to get in his phillipie Pinst Governor
Tilden on the last night q previous ses-
sior. Cut loose from ans tQnism except
theSznerits of the oppes kfrdidates his
chances are infinitely nia hopeful than
either Morrison g or Cox's, and about even
with Randall's. Although it is strenuously
denied by both Cox and Morrison that Iilden
is indorsing Randall canvass the impression
is very decided that the contrary is the fact.
Randall could well be spared from the apprO-
priation committee, because Holman ls next
in succession to the chairmanship, and will
scrutinize the expenditures Of the public
money with as jealous vigil as his predeces-
sor. Cox cannot get the place, and Springer
has as much chance of being taken toheaven
in chariot of fire as being selected. Clymer
will content himself with the complimentary
vote of the Pennsylvania delegation, and will
then retreat by mutual consent and previous
agreement.
Sitting all the sources of information down
to hard-pan, am of the opinion that Morri-
son and Randall have a combination set up
between themselves, which is indorsed by
Governor TIlden 1t is this: Randall Is the
real candidate and Morrison the nigger in
the %oodpile Randall's candidacy is genu-
Inc, MOrrison's is blind. 1t is a cOmbina-
ton to beat Sayler and Cox. There are men,
bers who would support Morrison, but not
Randall These would go either for Cox or
Sayler. Morrison Will draw them to him, and,
at the proper time withdraw in Randall fa-
vor, and he will secure enough votes to elect

THE LATE INDIAN FIGHT.
Colonel MakenEie's Official Report -
Honorable Tribute TO the Lamented
Lieutenant M'Kinney.

CHICAGO, December 1.-The official report
Of Colonel Mackenzie, colonel of the Fourth
cavalry, was received at military headquar-
tiers here to-day. II states that about noon,
on the twenty-fOurth instant, while marching
In a southwesterly direction, toward the Sioux
pass Of the Big Horn mountains, five advance
scouts met hun, reporting that the main camp
of the Cheyennes was about fifteen or twenty
miles distant AbOut sunset the command
began moving toward the hOstiles, reach
ing the village about daylight, completely
surprising the Indians, and compelling
them to vacate the village suddenly auG take
refuge in a raYine After brisk fight, last
ing an hour, and skirmishing till night, they
capitulated, the entire village having one
hundred and seventy-three lodges, and with
all their contents was destroyed. Five hun
dred ponies were captured and twenty-five
Indian bodies were found. 1t is almost GER
tain that a much larger number were killed.
Five soldiers and one officer were killed on
our side and twenty-five wounded, besides
one ShOshOne scout belonging to US. Fifteen
cavalry horses and four Indian scouts were
killed The command moved to campon Pow
der river, whence this report was
made on the twenty-sixth instant. Lleuten-
ant N Kinney, of the Fourth cavalry, who was
killed, was one of the most gallant of officers
and honorable of men. General Crook, IN
TRANSMIT ting the above report, says: 81 can
not commend too highly this bril-
liant achievement and gallantry of the troops.
This will be terrible blow TO the hostiles, as
these Cheyennes were not only the bravest
warriors, but have been the head and front OF
most of the raids and deviltry committed in
this country"

HAYES Went Withdraw-He Isn't that
Kind of a Man After All.
Columbus special TO the Chicago Times

A story has been in circulation here yester-
dav and to-day that John Sherman had tele-
graphed Hayes that he was not satisfied that
matters in Louisiana were being conducted
on the square, and advising Hayes to with
draw from the fight, and that in response tc
this that Hayes had sent his friend General
John. Mitchell, to Washington City TO consult
with the national committee and prepare
them for his withdrawal. As a sensation
this was good enough, but inquiry at head
quarters fails to substantiate it, or rather
proves it a canard. No such dispatch ha:
been received from Sherman, and Hayes has
not sent Mitchell to Washington. You car
rest assured Hayes viii not let go his chances
for the White House until he learns thai
bayonets and fraud can not put him there.
