WHAT MR.. BELMONT SAYS OF THE TARIFF QUESTION
IN THE CONTEST.
Friends OF Carlisle say that Randall's election
will not prevent the agitation Of the tariff oues
ton, as has been claimed, especially IL Mr. Ran
dalls proposition for an immediate total abolition
OF internal revenue taxes shall be adopted Referr
ing to this matter to-day, Represe ntatiye Belmont
of New York, said:
"Ihe abolition of the internal revenue tax favored
oy Mr. randall and opposed by Mr.. Carlisle would |
at once render necessary an Immediate gen
{, eral revision OF the tariff, as the large
nereased customs dates

would further reduce the total receipts, as estt-

oers s450O M GOO for the sinking fund, will aggre-

Mr. COX CoSFERs WITH MR.. RANDALL.
Representative Converse, OF Ohio, an active SUD-
porter OF MI. Randall, had conference with Mr..
Cox to-day. Subsequently Mr.. Cox visited Mr. Ran
lall, and that once set speculation afloat It was
said that an arrangement was effected between
Cox and Randall but according to Information OBJ
tanned by STAR reporter this is not true. Some
efforts have been made, no doubt, to get Mr. Cox
OH the track, but he and his friends say he win not
entertain any such proposition for an instant
