WASHINGTON, Dee. 12.-Mr. Randall
seems to have entirely recovered from the
shock of his recent defeat. He tells his
friends that although he was not chosen
by his party to preside over the house he
does not intend to sulk in his tent but take
an active part IN the business that may
come before congress. His intimate
friends assert that he may become the rec
oenized leader of his party, despite what
has occurred; that by his commanding
strength of mind and force of character
he will be able to prevent his party from
laundering into pitfalls and arousing the
opposition of the business interests of
the country by opening up and
passing q new tariff bill. He is not con-
WINGED that he is wrong, but rather that his
party is not right in striking blow at the
policy of protection, as it did in selecting
Mr.. Carlisle, an opponent, as the speakec
of the house.

ton OF the rates OF duty on imported
woods viii endaayor to get the bill through
