Randali's Friends Losing Confidence
Especial to the Democratl


WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.--For the first time
since it began the canvass for the Speaker
ship is fSirly active and warm. Tonight the
opposition to Randall have completed an ac-
curate canvass of their strength, and have
proceeded with something like method. 1t is
certain that the friends of Randall are losing
the confidence which has hitherto distin-
guished them, and their tone has been decided
ly modified within the last twelve hours. The
most palpable evidence that they are weaken
ing is the fact that Randall has instructed his
lieutenants TO circulate assurances that the
chairmanships of the last Congress will not
be disturbed, except in one or two cases. This
is designed to conciliate certain active men,
bers OF the opposition, and Is the first re-
markable sign Of panic that Randall has
shown.
Thus far harmony has marked the eoun-
ellis Of his opponents, and unless something
unlocked for should break the latter up in
row, they will certainly effect concentration
upon Goode.
The Speakership contest absorbs every
body, and 1t Is impossible to ascertain any
thing definite about the minor offices.

OHIO ELECTION.
Bishops Majority $4,000 to - goo

COLUMBUS, Oct. Il. - From the returns
received up to this evening from 7G coun-
ties in the State it appears that the Demo-
cratic gains are 1851 The actual Demo-
cratic majority in the same counties is %, ,351
The State Central Committee estimates Bish-
ops majority at from $4,000 to $4,000 in the
State. He runs somewhat ahead Of the rest
Of the ticket.
As near as can be ascertained, the counties
yet to hear from are Angltze, Defiance, Hem
ry, Ottawa and Pike, Democratic; Summit,
Fulton, Guernsey, Huron, Medina and Irum-
bull, Republican. Returns from these will be
telegraphed for tonight, and all the returns
will be In shape by tomorrow.
A falling off In the Democratic counties Of
Anglaze and Defiance is looked for, because
Of the treasury troubles in those counties. In
Henry the chances are that there will be a
slight falling off; in Ottowa the Democrats
will gain about 100; Pike will be stand off !;
in Fulton there will be, from the tenor of the
dispatches received, a gain OF 500; in Guern-
sey the Democrats will gain 500, and in Huron
400; in Medina they probably gain 20O also
200 in Summit, and not less than 800 to 600 In
Trumbull.
In the Legislature the Democrats have 7G
in the House, Republicans 80, and the Green
hackers, or Nationals, 2. The Senate stands:
25 Democrats, 10 Republicans.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 12--At the time of
my last telegram / thought that everything
was settled, but at the evening session, which
was expected to be solely occupied by an ad-
dress from Gen. John Hogan, Of st. Louis, on
the Improvement OF the Mississippi river, In
stead Of the anticipated motion to adjourn
siac die, 1t was moved and carried to adjourn
TO . o'clock Friday morning. This was an
Indication Of a motion to reconsider the reso-
lutions adopted last night and blow at the
Louisiana delegation. This intention was
directly developed in the morning session,
and your delegates had very hard fight to
go through to maintain their ground, and
good deal Of strategy had to be used, and
though Prof. Forshey was present we missed
Col Bush.
AS 1t turned out, however, every ything eHtetf
satisfactorily. The motion presented yester-
day by our delegation was set aside, but after
good deal of discussion replaced by one
equally, II not more, favorable, the text Of
which / give herewith:
ResoIved, That this convention strongly ap-
peal to Congress,b by liberal appropriations for
the construction and necessary repnir Of
levees, to conne the river within its limits
and prevent disastrous foundations.

convention adjourned sine die. A.
