Special Dispatch to Tic CAiclgo Tribune.
| WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct .13-Thc Speaker
ship contest to-day presented some uncxpccte
TEXTURES. With the hourly arrival OF member:
it became apparent to the leaders OF the Randall
| opposition that some Ut the candidates must
withdrawn from tue contest or there would b
! no hope Of defeating Randall Morrison O
illinois, saw yesterday that he had no chanc
for the nomination, and decided to rellnuuis
the contest; but it was not until this moruin!
that he permitted it to become known that h
! was no longer candidate. He as
! signs as reason for his Withdrawal
| aside from the very manifest fact 0
the want Of a sufficient number OF votes, til.
further fact that he was not unitedly supported
by his own delegation. Morrison's supporters
! Seem to think that
T1LDES's HAND WAS MANIFEST
| in manipulating the New York delegation.
Sparks, Of Illinois, who is a man OF good deal
Of positiyeness, has from the start been Ran
| dali man, and has stated lie could undcr no con
| ditions support Morrison, us he pledged himself
| to Randall long before Morrison Was caudl-
| date. Sparks influence among the other
members Of the delegation has been
damaging to Morrison's prospects, and
the latter was not able to deliver
the united Illinois delegation to Goo1e Us he
had hoped to do. Indeed, it was regarded Us
certain by the Randall men before the canvass
that Randall would have
AT LEAST THREE VOTES FROM ILLINOIS
on the first ballot in spite ot Morriso1l's efforts
i'll favor of Goodc. Cox had the saeacity carly
i'll tue morning to know that his contest was
hopeless, aud permitted the announcement to
be made that l,c Ind withdrawn from the
contest. The Goode managers hoped that
Cox would attempt to deliver his del
egation to thcul, but he had no dele
CATION to deliver, and during the
day it became certain that the Democrats OF
the New York delegation would be most Ger
tain to east their votes for Randall In this the
anti-Raudal men think they sec the hand OF
Tilden. Saylcr was repeatedly urged to with
draw and not to autagonize the candidacy of
John G. Thompson for Sergeaut-at-Arms, but
he was obduratc and
DECLINED TO SURRENDER.
His f1rnness in his candidacy created consider
able feeling in his delegation and his nort;iica-
tion must have been intense at receiving only
twelve votes, There Was even an cffurt
Made to induce Goode to Withdraw
from the contest, and committee
OF two of the most influential OF the Virginia
delegation waited upon him i'll the afternoon to
urge linn to surrender the contest, but Gilbert
C. Walker, of Virginia, who has been actively
engineering Goodc's contest, had too nluch i'll
Aucncc with the latter, who
DECLINED TO WITHDRAW.
This faction is rewarded for its foresight hy but
twcnty-threc votes. Blackburn had l,,n. been
out Of the race, and had attempted two days
uco to transfer his support to tioode. IT
nothing else had been against Blackburn,
his fire-cating speech Of Thursday night
had turned away from him all the
conservative Southern Democrats. Accord
ingIy. upon the assembling of the CAUCUS to-
night there were ttrec candidates in the field;
Samuel J. Randall, OF Pennsylvania; Milton
Sayler, Of Ohio, and John GoosIc, Of Virginia.
The voting was by means Of tcllers on division.
