Morrison was the political executor
OF Michal c. Kerr, having been the
principal agent to beat Randall year
ago with Kerr. They represented the
West and the East. the only respecla-
bic sectional alliance thai Is possible in
either party at present Mr. Tilden's
friends thought highly OF Morrison's
clean reputation and fine bearing. they
knew what Randall was in physical en-
durspce. tenaeity, and force Randall
had the greatest number of iTiends, be-
ing more Of q man round about md
longer in public life When once these
two men were made 10 feel that the
battle and choice were left 10 them il
was almost certain that Morrison, with
some little natural ehagrin, should sup
port Randall. Mr.. Cox always fails to
get the votes OF new members, Mr., Say
Ter gets nothing much but Ohio Mr..
Blackburn was the only South
erner with the presumption TO set UP
for Speaker. Sam Randall has been

power OF q man OF original good breed
ing TO arise and threw off yoluptuous
aud idle parasites at middle life. His
reformation is complete. He is clean,
cautious, presentsble and handsome,
and although on rugged and highway
man.iniested road, it May lead him to-
ward 9 Democratic nomination for. the
Presidency. Randall is the most popu
lar Democrat in the United States, wha.
Blaine was. He has been the head of
the Pennsylvanis delegation, though in
a minority, FOR many years. The secret
Of bis power. besisics experience and
strength, is real goodness Of heart.
The heart c ankering selfshness. which
sooner or later attacks and destroys all
