I andall Losing Ground.

WASHINGTON Feb. 20.-Speaker Randalrs
chances of re election appear to diminish rapidly
as the end of his present term approaches. In his
zeal to serve his party he has overdone the thing
and has made himself unpopular with the moder-
ate democrats who think that it is not proper that
a presiding officer should he unnecessarily parti
san. When Mr.. Randall ran against Mr.. Kerr at
the opening Of the present Congress, he represent
ed the more liberal and progressive element IN
the democracy, and it was believed, when he hnsi-
" reached the goal of his ambition last Deem
Der. that his influence wo. ID be conservative and
salutarv Instead of this being the case, he has
won the reputation Of being the most unfair Speak
er that has occupied the chair since the memory
of the oldest member. His zeal to accomplish
partisan ends has run completely away with his
respect for the rules and presidents, and for the
rights Of the minority. In thus forgetting that
he is the Speaker of the House and not of one
side of it, he has lost the respect of the party
whose interests he is so eager to advance, and he
can no longer be counted among its leaders. His
violent speech in the caucus last night appears to
have completed his political ruin. Ii IS said to
have been intenperate and revolutionary. 10
what extent he has forfeited the confidence Of the
democrats and worked himself out OF the posi-
ton of undisputed leadership was shown to-day,
when only 81 me mbers acted in the policy of pre-
venting the completion Of the count of the cleo
toral votes which he holly advocated last night.
To-day Mr.. Randall surpassed all his previous
PARTISAN performances by placing substitute in
the chair for an hour and going about among the
democratic members stimulating ard organizing
the movement to defeat the count by flibustering.
1t is reported that he circulated paper for sigma
lures pledging the sgnels to resort to all possible
the joint convention from completing their work.
1t thus appears that the third officer in the Gov
eminent is engaged in an attempt to incite anar-
chy and revolution.
Whatever shape the organization of the next
House may assume, whetf er it he controlled by
democrats, republicans, or by a fusion party re
81 ovised for the occasion. it appears clear that
samuel j. Randall will not be the Speaker.

The Maine Standard gave very enlhu-
siastic support to the compromise bill
when that measure was originated. Its
issue OF the Goth Of January editorially
endorsed il as follows: ave regard the
measure as the iairest and safest attaina-
BILE under the circumstances, and the ac-
ton OF the committee as highly patriotic
and commendable." In the same article
the Standard also said 1--WE hope and
trust that this bin will be promptly passed
by Congress and approved by the Piesi-
dent" &c. The compromise having been
carried in accordance with the hopes of
the Standard it would seem that paper
ought to be satisfied with the result, but
its columns this week are teemiRe with
denunciations of the commission, of which
the following is an example: docs the
republican Senate and the republican
electoral commission its assumption of
extra constitutional power has foisted up
on the country. consider what painful
spectacle their mad partizanshp in labor
ing to place man in the Presidential chair
by fraudulent device presents TO the eyes

Senator Thurman on Going Be.
hind the Returns.

Senator Thurman is one of the ablest
re personalities of the democi attic party in
Congress. He has given much attention
to the subject OF counting the electoral
vote, and the debates OF the St nate on the
various measures which have been con-
sdered by that body during the past three
years contain his opinions on the powers
OF Congress respecting the votes of the
States. He has held from the first that
nowhere has power been conferred upon
Congress TO go behind the certificates Of
the electoral votes. In 1873. pending the
counting Of the electoral votes. a resolu-
ton was under consideration rtquir-
ing the Committee on Elec-
tons and Privileges ito inquire and
report whether The recent elections OF
electors OF President In The States of Ar
kansas and Louisiana had been conducted
laws of The United States" During the
discussion, in which Mr.. Thurman took
the initiative, he said:
"This resolution seems to imply that there is a
broader jurisdiction in Congress over the subject
Of the election of President than have been ac-
cusiomed TO suppose vested in Congress.
i know Of no power vested in Congress TO pass
any law on this subject except law fixing the
time when the electors shall be chosen Each
State is TO appoint its electors in the manner the
eeislsture thereof shall direct If there be any
contest Of the right of persons 10 hold the Office
of elector it seems To have been the contemplation
of the fismers of the Constitution that that was
TO be provided for by the States themselves; that
each State must determine in such mode as it
shall provide any question thai may arise between
different persons claiming to be elected TO that
Office. No jurisdiction over the subject seems to
have been given to Cong ess. How far
our power goes am not prepared to sa, it is a
matter that rtqunes the giavest consideration
tut do not wish to be considered committing
myself by any in plcst on hat we have power to
go into the question Of a contest Of the seat o.
these electors We may be compelled, possibly
by necessity to determine Which Of these tpo sets
Of electors has The OFFICIAL EVIDENCE that enti-
Ties their certificates to be received and votes
given by III, d TO be counted, but il is q subject
full Of 1ificulty."
Senator Bayard, another democratic
m, mber OF The Commission, in the course
oil The debate on the Morton Electoral
bill during the last session of Congress,
expressed himself in the following en-
phatic manner:
NOWHERE is POWER GIVEN TO EITHER House
OF CONGRESS TO PASS UPON THE ELECTioN,
EITHIR THE MANNER OR TIRE FACT, OF ELECTORS
FOR PREsHENT AND VICE IREsIDf Mt; and If
