Senator Wallace OF Pennsylvania, was in

organized than the democratic party, and
has been able to get out larger per ceutags

will get out the larger per centage, because q

party, hut the Senator thinks it will draw
more from The republicans. "Of course"

Randall win?' inquired STAR reporter
Senator.-"I hardly think so, although he
is reported 10 be very confident. Whether he
will be supported or not by the Texas Pacific
influence is a hard question TO solve Tnrock-
morton, OF Texas, is. understand, for Ran
dali, and ThrOckmOrton is understood to es-
pecially represent the Texas Pacific interest
in his state"
1T has been said that Randall has given a

Senator.-"If he has, such pledge is in
direct opposition To previous declarations
made by him and the anti-suhsidy plank in
the platform adopted by the recent PeunsyI.

was aimed at The TexaS Pacific scheme, and
his friends"
"WiI Congress confine Itself entirely 10
the army bill at the extra session.
Senator-''I hardly think ii can. The con-
tested seats in Louisiana and South Caro-
lima are almost certain to open up warm de-
bate in our cha Inber."
"What will be the result of those debates?"
Senator -"Spofford and Batter must be
admitted. 1t cen hardly be Otherwise espe-

THAT will leave the republicans a very
small majority"
Sena1or.-"Yes; too small TO be of much
service"
"Is there any truth In the report that the
democrats Will try TO secure the organiza-
attempt could only work US injury. We have
only to wait for the organization; 1t is surely
coming to us. Besides, we do not want it
now. SO long as the republicans hold the or
ganization Of the Senate, We are not respon-
sible for the legislation. If we controlled
both branches we should be responsible for

the republic MS to break down Mr.. Hayes at
once"
"What of Conkling's position?"
Sen8tor.-''He Will come into the session
