Irregular Correspondence OF The Tfibunei
WASHINGTON, March 5.lThe friends
III Mr.. Randall gay that he Is confident
Ill thp support Of 112 members In the
Democratic caucus. This is a large ma.
iority of the Democratic membership OF
The new House, and would OF course
give Mr., Randall the party nomination.
MIR. Randall Ia of a sanguine temporal
fnent, however, and probably mistakes
eSnfessions Of approval In many ill.,
stances for pledges of support.
Mr., Morrison Ia certainly in the field
as n candidate. but with not even re-
mote prospect of success. His move.
ment appears to be designed TO Keep
himself prominently before big party
associates, and to secure for himself
either another term - chairman of
WAYS and Means or an appointments to
the head Of the Appropriations Com
mittee. which Il ia said he prefers to bis
old place, He will undoubtedly play
into Mr., Randall's hands as he did last
December.
Fernando Woods candidacy Is not
believed to be with view TO making an
EARNEST race for the nomination. Ii is
10 obtain by Il trade with the successful
candidate tho WAYS and Means chair
nanshin, which his long experience
nnon the committee and bis still longer
service In the House entitled him TO, In
che estimation OF his friends. when the
Democrats obtained control Of tho body
two years ago.
Mr.. Cox is q genuine rival OF MIR.
Randall, and will make him close race.
He II exceedingly active. ana Ia per-
the field.
Mr., Saylef is here looking after his
pfesnacts, His conservative course last
aessiun made shim many new frien de

WASHINGTON March 25.-One Of the
mast significant interviews yet held
with the President was had to-day by
Leonard, a Louisiana Republican mem
her OF Congress elect. He iH a member
az the Southern Republican Congress
mems Protective Association. He said
90 HAYES that II there was any truth In
the Abatement that there was move
rnent upon his part TO try and combine
with the Southern Democrats 10 elect
Foster Speaker of the House, the South
err Republican members would go over
To the Democrats at once to secure the
heat tarms possible. This extraordinary
statement has caused Mr.. Hayes much
Thought. He will hold daily cabinet
sessions upon ii TO relieve his mind as
seen as South Carolina aud Louisiana
are disposed Of.
