many traditions of ofeclold[ng. aitd In this par
ticm1ar innovation thcrc arc MANI good
reasons tn show that he Inns taken a
very tudlclous step. Tho Tfcc-prcsident
is the constitutional successor Of tho President
In catc Of the tatter's death, resignation, or i'm

that he should play some part 1t. sl1ap!ng tho
incasllrcs Of tho Administration OF which ho
may some DAY bo the hcad, that ho should hayo
pcrfcct sympathy and acquaintance with tho
Cabnct. and that III alt 1uestfons nppertntninT

friendly nlvtco should be sought. This new
step Of the rresfdcnt's Is peculiarly cu'n,cntla

WASHINGTON, u. g., O,. LIZ N.
The excitement here today oVer the Speak
ership is very great. A kinds Of runners are
afoat. and it is evident that desperate etlort
is to be made to defeat MIR. Randall. Ills Verous
oppanenls have determined to combine and Nj.
Goode, Of Virginia, will in all Probability, be
the man pitched upon 10 effect the consoI-
dation of the opposing forces. Notwithsand-
ing this apparently strong array, Mr.. Randall
and his friends express the utmost confidence
Of success, aud several Southern cmbcrs are
outspokcn in their determination to stick by
MIR. r., though a Southern man should he
put up.
Should Mr.. Goodo be chosen the programme
for the subordinate offices would all he chanGcdl
and while MIR. Caldwcll's chatc!s Ter clerk aVe
best to-day, he would then hardly hope TO DC
| successful.
The caucus TO make the nominations will be
| held on Saturday night, until which limo the
caltlrun will nc kept boiling.
| Judge Harris, OF Virginia, Expresses the
opinion that the opposition to fahdall will not
rise to the dignity OF contest.
Judge Harris, Gov. Walker and Mr.. Gnnde
arc the only members Of the Virginia delegation
at present in the CITY.
WASHINGTON, Oct. ll-3 p. N. --Mr.Sayicr,
who las Just arrived, declines to enter The COM
binstion against MIR. Randall, and Mr.Cox also
holds out, thus virtually anaul'ing any bargain
and securing MIR. Rs election.
Mr.. Gucle, Of Virginia, who is here, has,
in 20 way, personally, aival C ID himself fer the
Speakcr>hip, bat 90 the cADtrary has been very
reticcnt upon tho subject. All the efforts look
Jog to his candidacy have come from friends and
admirers beyond the limits Of lis state. piincl
paly from the South ard West Ills position
has been from the beginn:nE that an Office OF
such dignity should not be sought Or declined.
The opinion has been expressed 10 well informed
circles that had Mr.. Goodo received the cordial
support Of the Virginia delegation his chances
for success would have bccn greatly enhanced,
If his election would rot have been secured.
Such men as Blackburn, Morrison and others
CONTEND that Mr.. Goodc could moro cfectually
coucsnrate the opposition to Mr.. Randall than
any Other Of those spoken Of 10 connection with
the Speakcr>hir.
From sources most likely to know it may be
sale to assert that The Ilous, will be organized
as follows Randall, Speaker; Caldwell, CLERK;
Thompson, Sergcan! at-Armt; Polk or Pattcr
