whose poJitcal solidity holds out to the Democratic
nortv its sole hope of success in National election
and. second because that region dares not lay
claim to one of the places on the Natonal tcke'
Those among Mr.. Carlisle's supporters VINO possess
the best political Judgment unwilling to vouch
for the exaggerated " estimates" of his strength
which are put out by some of his more mpulslVe
followers they frankly cOncede that MI. RahdaH
is a strong and dangerous opponent, ana that'
uuless Mr. Cox can be induced TO with
draw at some stage of the contest, the
result would be doubtful. They admit there is only
a faint prospect that he can be persuaded to take
that step.
Mp. COX's FEELING AND STRENGTH.
"Nr. Cox feels ugly and talks ugly said a friend
of Mr. Carlisle to-day, and it IS understood that ms
reception of the men who have advised him to with
draw has been considerably less than cordial or
patient. "Wby should Mr.. Cox withdraw p asked
one of his friends tonight. If Mr.. Carlisle
really wants to have Randall defeated he must
rive wav to Mr. Cox who is no longer candidate
on his OWE responsibility but is put forward as the
candidate of the great State of New-YOrk."
Inquiries as to the meaning of this expression
elected the statement that the Tammany, Irving
Hall and County Democracy organizations have
within two or three days separately adopted formal
resolutions approving Mr., Cox's candidacy, and
calling upon the Democratic representatives
from New-YOrk to stand by him to
the last One of Mr.. Cox's friends
said this evening that these resolutions in part ac-
count for a telcg1aphic dispatch received by the
New-YOrk candidate to-day from representative
elect Nicholas Muller, which. he said, read as fol-
lows: Go il, Cox, my boy; AIN with you 10 the
When asked for the other reason for Mr.. Mullcr'S

tcrscly replied: Judge Duly. We have received
dispatches from Massachusetts and New-JGTsty

trDc that John Kelly viii arrive here this eek to

il is not true. We do not expect him at present.
There is no reason why he should here. If
he should come later jq2t before the GancGs d ana .

The Sprggs mystery decpens. Mr.. Sprggss vote
is q" claimed " positively by tho Randall men, and
vet il is asserted quite as positively by MIR. Cox's
friends that yesterday General Slocun and
Sprgvs of Utica left here for Emira to visit Con-
prcssman-elect Arnot, who, it is runorcd,
shows leaning toward Mr.. Randall. " If Cox is
SO sure of Arnots vote, why does he send messen-
gers to plead with him ~ asked a friend of Mr..
Randall. 1t is growing more noticeable daily that
IN specuatng upon the probable result of the con-
test the Carlisle men rest their hopes manly upon
the accessiOns he is TO receive, when Cox is out
OF the race" and that in like manner the Cox men
are willing TO postpone the hour of victory until
Carlisle withdTaws."
SPIRIT OF BITTERNESS GROWING.
The contest seems to havo passed beyond the
good natuTed stage, and OutcrOppings of bitterness
are visible in more than one direction 1t hardly
possible that the next ten days pass without
hot disputes and bitter wranglings, which will
leave prospects of Democratic harmony in tho
coming session gloomy indeed.
The Randall men greatly pleased tonight at
bit of news from Atlanta, Ga. The Constitution
of that city has heretofore strongly opposed tho
election of Mr.. Randall TO the Speakersbip because
of hs position on the tariff question but in IFS
leading editorial this morning il wthdraws further
opposition, and indicates that more important is
sues than the tariff have arisen. In Atlanta it Is
considered probable that Mr.. Randall will get
majority of the votes of the Georgia delegation.
