Mr.. Randall Wins


Washi:g i"n dispatches ANNOUNCE the TT
sult Of the Democratic CAUCUS Saturday
night, AMI the nomination Of Rand n. oi
Pennsylvania, to the sl,eakership This ~
suit can hardly he a surprise. From the
first, Ran!sli's chances were bett.r than
that Of any Of his opponents, noiwiths.and
ing the strong western feeling which had
been created in favor Of Morrison. of H..
inois, and Ssyler, Of Ohio. The issue upon
which the nomination turned was the
SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD
This brought 10 Randa!Is support all Of
the southern and many Of the western men,
ben. II MAS well understood that neither
Morrison or Ssyler were friends ii Inras-
ure which the sonth had more at heari
than ever the prospective reforma-
ti"n oi the currency. Thi. Circumstance
made Esniall's candidainre almost a walk
over, and all things considered, the event is
decidedly fortunate for the country. Ii
places the South aud West largely .a ,up-
port with Eastern interests, and renders
necessary Legislation in our behalf Of com
psrtivelv easy accomplishment. The result
indicates
FAVORABLE OrTIcCK
Tor Western river appropriations, and the
po-sible building, at the government ex
lense, "f the Mississippi levee-. This will
give the West what il has 80 long wanted,
cheap Il transportation to the sea- But there
ir still another favorable circumstance con-
nected with il. Randall is decidedly in "a
vOr OF the reconciliation Of silver and cur
rency reform, and the committees Of Con-
greSs will be organized with
VIEW To THIS OBJECT.

WARRINGTON.
A Rumored Change in the Preai-
dents Policy-Something About
Thurman's Resignation The
Southern Pacific Railroad.

a Washington special to the st. Louis
'%1e-Dsm@.m contains the following some
what startling rumors:
The statement is made very positively to-
day that SENATOR Thurman, of Ohio. will
resign Janusry next. in order to allow the
Legislature to elect Mr.. Ewing To the short
term, ut the same time that it elects Geo. III.
i'snJleton for the long term. In return for
this action ON his part, Thurman il pledged
the unanimous support Of OHIO for the
i'em'eratic nomination IN 1870. In con-
versation, Thurman admits the intended
resignation. but denies that there is anv
agreement as tn the support of him for
President in lSS,. These rumors have
created profound sensation among the
Democrats Of Indiana, who are keeping
Hendricks in training for 1850. They say
they We're cheated out OF the nomination Of
Hendricks by the friend. OF Pcndleton in
1865, and tina, they will not submit to he
bulldozed by the Buckeyes any more.
EUMoKs AyLOAT.
There are all sorts Of rumors aAoat to-
night, "a to a change oi policy ON the part
OF the President. j. is not supposed that
he will attempt to un,io what he has done
IN the south; but the most prominent Re-
Publicans who have come here since SUNDAY
morning have been entieating him to not
allow himself to drift entirely under the
control Of Southern Democrats, a. he seemed
to be doing week ago. The Ohio election
they say ought to warn him OF the fate Of
the Republican party should he continue in
his course. Whether there is much or lit
tie OF truth in all this, il il certain that
some appointments which were to have
been announced to-day have been recOnsid-
Fred, and it il not probable that the ex-
rebel element will figure very largely in the
diplomatic list. The friends Of the
SOUTHERN PACIFIC ROAD
are very confident. but it is very evident
that the measure will he bitterly opposed.
The first attempt will be to kill it, under .
general resolution pledsing the House to
opposition to all subsidies. Secretary
who did more than any other man
in Washington in behalf of Jay Cookies
Northern Pacific swindle, il opposed to the
Southern Pacific bill, ard il en,ieavoring to
influence the President, who has been thus
lar counted as friend OF the measure.
