The contest for the Speakership does
not often attract SO much attention as
it does this year. Perhaps it may be
because it does not always occur on the
eve of presidential election, and there
is seldom such large majority in the
lower House as the democrats will have
in the next Congress. Had the Repub-
licans sought a division in the ranks of
the Democracy, they could not have
brought it about any more effectually,
than the Randall or protectionist wing
of the party, has arrayed itself against
the Carlisle or free-trade wing. On
Thursday evening, in New York City,
it was the cause of large meeting, at
which Mr.. Beecher and other prominent
free-traders took part. There is little
doubt that the meeting was gotten up
by Watterson and others, ostensibly for
the purpose of creating free-trade
boom to weaken Randall 1t seems to
be PLAIN enough, many believe, that
the decision of this contest will deter
mine the course of the Democratic ma
jority in the House as to tariff legisla-
ton. However the Republicans have
no special interest in the struggle. 1t
is matter of little interest to the whole
country, whether Samuel j. Randall
representing the extreme Democratic
protectionists, or Carlisle, representing
vaguely formed free-trade opinion, is
elected. The election of either does
not necessarily involve the inauguration
of tariff legislation, or against it. The
choice of either candidate would do but
little more, than to shape certain COM
mittees. In fact the Democrat party
is in no position to legislate on the tariff
question. They are astute enough to
see that the country is in a prosperous
condition to-day, and that tariff for
revenue only" defeated them in 1880,
and an advocacy of free-trade theories
now would ruin their prospects for next
year. 1t is not safe to predict at this
date who the next speaker will be.
Randall and Carlisle are equally sure of
election, while Cox, Morrison and
Springer, will hardly carry their can
didacy farther than few compliment
tary votes on the first ballot. Randall
is the shrewdest politician, and esti-
mates of his strength and chances of
winning made by him are believed
nearer correct than those made by
Carlisle.
