Sam Randall for Speaker
Ny Southern friend looked over my shoulder

back to him he nquirsd ''No~, my dear B,
don't that best hell gD
told my friend that, In my Judgment, hell
was undoubtedly beaten by that performance.
think viii write to this young man," pur-
sued my friend, solemny, "and seguaint him
with seyerai facts which would ssem 10 have
ESCAPED HIS ATTENTION.
I will informs him that there was An s,setiop lssk
fall that there was subsequent eeetcrsl soups:
ahd that. as fi,sale, there was stately funers,
Of what has Dug been known ~ the New FORK
management OF the Democratic psrtyfn
\ II imfer," sasl T. "that you don't intend to vote
fdf Mr.. Hsndall In pursuance Of the orders from
headquarters which You have just permitted me
30 read.n
mot to speak st," was the replys ''I might
have voted for hiKa in certsin contingencies but
for this order, as you call IT.; Int the receipt Of
II has settled Mr.. Issndas hash with nae. What
ever others rssy do consider IL MY solemn duty
as . Democgst to heneeforth embrace every oe-
csson for test'fying my lack Of cosadencs in
THE Hsw Yonas aaNAeEmawr."
Now, In view OF the fact that ths contest for
she organization OF The next House Ia 40 far oR
that little wholesome washing Of psrty linen in
public is not liksy TO breed any fatal family dis
tBrbsnee, II might be weIlsser the soatbern snd
Western Democracy TO sit down rather eonclu4
sively ON this small machine known sthe New.
York management, which, whether bosssd by
Tweed or Peltons and whether manipulated in
the interests OF
sEY1cuf OR rtfpwN,
hss never accomplished anything but the humii--
alton OF the party, end never costributed suucesss
to anybody except Tire enemy. We all fefnern-
Der how neatly that sttle job YVES put through at
St Lgnis, and some OF us, at least know thst
is took great many very good Democrats. Mr..
Hendricks included, several days 10 decide tha.
they would actively snpport the ticket nominated
there. On my return to Washington from the
81. Louis convention, ] stopped is Indianapolis
over sHndsy, where u did myself the honor to
CALI upon Mr.. Hendricks and bis most charming
lady. happened to big the only visitor during
the afternoon, and accompanied she family 10
church.
After the service and III dinner Mr.. Hendricks
impaired 10 me with entire freedom his views re-
gsrdDg the situation and his lack q confidence
IN the NewYoik snsgement, ss then constituted.
He had not at that tEne decided to accept: in
fact, ~ he told me repeatedly during my visit,
the question lay very heavy upon his mind
whether or not IL WAS tie, duty Of tie National
Democracy TO devote lbs energies or bend It's
patriotism to the task OF supportingss nornins~
tion effected by the means go notoriously en-
ployed as 81. Louis and tso unques,ensbly dis
tssteful 10 suoh an imm1Rss body Of The party.
In justice TO him cansos sttsmpt 10 give his
un hn nfnf u&s
private, snd, moreover, ne mere mneme1ic quota
tion Of conversation could be suficsntly
accurate 10 do justice when matters OF 30 much
delicsoy are involved. Suffice 10 say, Then, that
Mr.. Hendricks expressed his want oil confidence
in the Few York management in
THE MOST sTaIEzNs rERns,
pointed out it's weak eesses with q olearness
whieh,i the light Of subsequent evsnts, becomes
almost the miracle Of prophecy, and assured me
that the sole question ia.his mind wss whsther
or not he should be doing his real duty By the
party to which he owed 30 much, and TO whose
principles he was so sincerely attached. by ae~- o
eepting the nomination for Vice President which
had been forced upgn him az ssequel 10 that
jugglsry which had begpn at Albany ysar and
a half before in prefsnoss OF refsem, spd which
had just ended in the purchase of delegations
from at least four States at st. Lonisi Whist fol-.
lowed is now
r1spoRroALs
Mr. Hendricks wss finally persuaded chat be.
ought TO cooperate with the Few YORK manage
ment ss choice bstween II and the evil which,
stood represented In the meRaos OF possible
perpetuity Of Grsntisn under another name, and
the consideration which finally decided him WAS
that, whstever else might sesvue, the triumph Of
the Democracy would
LIBSRATE THE SOUTH.
This oonsumrastion was more desired By him.
than any othsr-in iaot, msys than al other con-
siderations com5ined-and II alone impellsd him
TO swallow his disgust, pat ON aNave fass. and
go into the fight hoping against hope, Struggling
slike against tho Yascslity Of the enemy and the
stupidity Oh our own masagsrs, and trusting In
the overwhelming rightsousnsss Of our cause Nh
large TO oounbeTvail tho shortcomings Of those
who had seized upon its material and zsbaushsd
it's personnel to certain extent.
After IL waa all over 4 met senator Macdonald
In Washington, and We talked about our defeat.
"Tbe campaign was managed ss if IL had been 4
New York
RAILROAD Law sUT,"
said Macdonald in his binns way. "Thsre WAS
too much whispering and sIbow-nudgine in
Gramsrey Park; tho peopla could not Understand
il; and. finally, when the tug Of the count came
on, the New Y1sk nanagsmsnt--weIi. we an
know tho inside history os that nanag cement dur
ing the electoral c0unti"
Cogitaing these things strolJed sronna IN a
place where know should find some Of the
smaller and leakier vessels OF the Liberty street
Burean Of Management, and whom found the
object OF my search, broaehed the topic gently.
There seems to be some opposition to Mr..
Randall West and soutb," )" remarked.
Yes, there seems to be some, particulariyin
Louisiana and Texas; but Burke will take cara Of
Louisiana" was the complacens response, sand
We will fetch Texas round right before Cosgrsss
meets. Why, ID bet yon at the rate Of s7zo to
FIVE that Randall ia finally
