One of the coolest headed and most earnest
of Blackburn's supporters said this evening
| that there was no doubt but that Randall
had the upper hand in the fight; that he was
a skilled politician of untiring energy, and
was backed by the division of the House
spolls already made that gave him the ad-
| vantage all the while. What is q source of
danger to the Blackburn men is the detection
of the weak men who may be tempted to
join the sheep and jump.
is one of the uneasy and uncertain elements
of Blackburn's supporters. Cox is jealous
and SO vain and weak headed that he has
actually taken it into his head that he had
chance to be struck by lightning, and that
he may be dark horse. Figuratively speak
ing, heavy clubs have been pounding away
at Sunsets enfeebled intellect to
persuade him to renounce his vain
idea, but the maggot is there,
and may work Cox's detection at the last
with two or three followers. There is not a
man in Washington, even among Randall's
followers, who does not know that Randall
could never be elected speaker if all the ele-
ments of opposition to him were unswerv-
ingly concentrated. That they will be d.
vided Ey
BR1BEs OF PATRONAGE,
jealousies or petty fears constitute the pros
pect of Randall's success. The manner of
voting in the caucus is also subject of dis
cussion, Blackburn's friends generally in
sisting that the vote shall be Uaoe uoce, each
member announcing his choice when his
name is called, as the speaker is elected in
the house. The custom heretofore has been
q secret ballot. Vague rumors have been
adoat all day to the effect that certain Demo-
Gratis will bolt the caucus nomination whether
it be Randall or Blackburn, but it is impos-
sible to find anyone who will state positively
that he will do so. As it will require every
Democrat to elect, including the nominee of
the caucus
VOTING FOR HIMSELF,
it is by no means certain that the nominee of
the Democratic caucus will be elected. If one
member who is olassed as a straight Demo-
crat should withhold his vote from the nomi-
nee of the caucus he could not be elected
except by Greenback or Republican support.
"1t seems CERTAIN" prominent Democrat
said to-day, ''that Mr.. Randall cannot secure
the support of any of the Greenbackers. It
is possible that Mr.. Blackburn may, in order
to secure his election, should he be the nomi-
nee, but the probabilities are that if there
should be a bolt of one or two straight
Democrats from the caucus nomination it
would result in the selection of
GREENBACK DEMOCRAT
who has not been prominently urged as
candidate before the caucus, and that such
Democrat would receive the combined sup
port of the Democrats and Greenbackers.
1t would be a novel spectacle should the
nominee of the Democratic caucus secure
his election by voting for himself. This test
may be a severe one, but it is believed that
the caucus will demand the sacrifice.

MIR. Hodges stated that some ten or fifteen
years ago, he had had some experience in har-
rowing wheat after it had come up. 1t was the
first week in June, when he had occasion to
Cross his field with q harrow, expecting 1t would
ruin the wheat, tear it out etc., but he was
obliged to make the trip, SO the harrow went
over the wheat and back again, and when he
got back the second time he found no wheat
left, it was app rently all torn out. The trail
was dark and clearly showed the soil. The mat

inely and looked the best of any il his field.
This incident, accidental in its nature, set him

cultivation had been beneficial; SO that when
he found his soil hard and baked all over, he
put his experience into practice, went in in
earnest with his harrow, gave his field a
