predicts the defeat of Mr. Randall in
the contest for the Speakership, now
the all-ahsort;ng subject of comment
and speculation in political circles The
success of Mr.. Randall meaning the
probable nomination of his friend. Mr..
Samuel Jones Tilden, who is an unac-
ceptablc Presidential candidate to the
" solid South, the auti-cipher element
of the party has affected formidable
combination against the Philadelphia
taciician which NAV possibly cost him
his grip upon the Speakers gavcl. and
lose Mr. Tilden his Presidential legs.
Indeed, if one-half we hear he true
aud John Kelley seems To father the
news-Mr. Tilden seems little "shakv"
generally. The "Tribune's expose
shattered his political constitution very
seriously, and bis revenue frauds ON
the government seem tn have :isiblv
impaired his moral health. Mr.. Tilden
is evidently in feeble condition. phvSi-
cally and morally, how muchscever he
may finally recuperate under the skllful
doctoring of Randall, Tweed, Pcltun,
Marble, and last, though not least.

concerned. the defeat Of Randall aud
Tilden would lie something fearful TO

THE Withholding of supplies by
Congress is blunderbuss that will do
execution at both ends. Mess the
Democrats pass the Legislative Appro-
priaiion Bill, there will be no money TO
pay the salaries of members, Senators,
or employees, or any of the other en-
penses about the Capitol. 1t is likely
that the President will he able 10 get

conversations with prominent men on the

THE srEAKEnsHIr.
No one has expected that ex Speaker
Randall would enjoy a walk over in his
race FOR re election, bat it begins to look
aow as though lie would be defeated. Ellis,
of Louisiana, Mills, of Texas. aud several
other leading Southern Democrats as we'll
rs \ lew Northern members who were left
out IN the selection of chaiTmauships in the
FoTty nth House, are quoted as having
declared that they will not vote for him.
BESIDES this opposition to him, which seems
to be based upon personal grounds, his
reputed intimacy with Tllden has injured
him in the same ratio that Blackburu's
enmity to the Cipher Orgre has aided his
chances. And Randail's latter day temper
ance notions are against him in the ssti.
nation OF many Of his partizan friends
In the good old days" Randall was
known AZ leader amoug the :. b 'hoysr of
the House, and secured his title to that
distinction by at least one knock down
fight on the side walk in front Of that
" Cave of the Winds" But larterly Ran
dali has been a teetotaler. fact Black
burn has not been slow To take advantage
OF, an one that counts for unknown guam
titles OF strength among the rank and ii lie.
But Mr.. Randall has great managing
powers. and it is not improbable no may
pull through. Mr.. liar.isou's opposition
and very pointed talk against Randall is
explained BY the latler's friends tn proceed
from disappointed ambition. Morris hav.
ing entertained desire, which Randall
nipped in the bud of being Speaker him
self.
THE GREENEACKERs.
The Greenbackers smiIingly claim that
they hold the balance OF power" But
they will probably vote for any Democrat,
except Randall, who will be Nominated in
their caucus. Gen. Weaver, Greenbacker,
and member elect from Iowa, inrimated
