WASHINGTON, November lG.-rhcre Is
an impression atloal that tho Democratic
majority in The next House Of Representa-.
tives will be split into two warning factions
atthe opening over the contest for Speaker.
Awcll informed Pennsylvania Democrat,
who Is II personal friend Of Mr.. Randall,
made the following statement today apro,
pos OF the foregoing opinion: 1887
"rherc will be no lactional fight In. the
Democratic majority for tho election Of
Speaker, because Mr.. Randall regards the
the unity Of the party III the House Of
much more importance than the choice Of
any man for Speaker. II he cannot be
elected without dividing the majority into
factions, he will step aside and invite Mr..
Carlisle to the place. It seems to nc that
that the talk about clecting free trade
Speaker as bei,ig the death knel OF the
Democratic party, can only come from
people with short memories, When tue
Democrats calne into power In the Forty.
fourth Congress, Mr.. Kerr free trader,
was elected Speaker, and Mr.. Morrison,
also u free trader, wns made Chairman Of
the Committee OIL Ways and Means"
