work and no glory He is prepared TO give way for
some other man. There's an opening for Mr.. Cox.
Mr.. Watterson shouts with uncommon vigor that
the fraud portion of the cipher report completely
exonerates Tilden, but for some mysterious reason

Southern press that no question will moro thor
ougiy unite the south than the demand for the re-
peal # the election laws. The same question ap-
pears to have similar effect upon the North, also.

Blackburn is talking in the widest way about his
chances for the Speakershp. lie says he is sure of
his election and that Randall would confess him
self beaten already if he were candid man. The
trouble with Blackburn is that he is backed largely
by wind, while behind Randall stands The innocent
but persuasive figure of M. IiLden. If the latter
whispers in The Of the Solid South that Randall
IS the man, 1t will be the end of blackburn -
