THERE Is one man that believes Mr.
Randall will be elected, and that man
is Samuel j. Randall, Ifthe ubiquit-
GUS interviewer is to be believed, Mr..
Randall says he will receive not less
than 1O7 votes on the first ballot in the
caucus. AS it only takes 81 to elect
that would settle it, and the other
candidates would take no interest in
the subsequent proceedings. He is q
cool, able, long headed man, and not
so easily vanquished as many have
thoughtlessly supposed. There has
been a very persistent, unnecessary
and unjust war made upon him by
Democratic papers, and this has
aroused some sympathy in quarters
where he previously had little sup
port. The assumption that his election
would disrupt and dcf.s. the Demo
cratic party, is reckless and ridicu'
lous. Suppose he happens to be elect
ed; these same papers will just simply
swallow their own words, and in less
than three months be declaring that
the party never had such chance to
win national victory. 1t is q mis-
take to presume that the people have
no memories and do not notice such
glazing ineonsistenoies.

WASHINGTON, November $3.50
far as Washington is concerned, the
Speakership contest, as 1t is called, is
a matter Of very small proportions.
There are twenty-six Democratic
members Of the House in Washing
ton, including the three leading can.
didates. One Of these is beyond all
question for Cox first, last and all the
time. One is for Mr.. Carlisle to a
similarly unyielding extent, and one
is admitted on all sides to be certain
for Mr. Randall, under any and
al circumstances. Outside Of this
the others are variously assigned BY
the friends Of the three candidates
BY this process, Of the %, Cox appears
to have 20, Carlisle q, and Randall %:
of the remaining l66 Democrats, who
have not yet arrived, about $50 are
claimed for Cox, 100 for Carlisle and
l65 for Randall. These figures, as
will be found by brief inspection,
will nominate Cox in the caucus on
the first ballot, where 81 are required
for successful candidate, by a ma,
jority of 80; Carlisle on the same bal>
lot, by majority Of "a, aud Randall
by a majority Of 30.
This curious result, as will be read
lily seen, gives three Speakers, proyid.
ing there is no cheating in the count,
avery difficult thing to provide against
in a pure Democratic election. But
as it will require at least three Speak
ers to keep the majority in the House
from shipwreeking the whole party,
the result will probably be looked upon
as providential by the longer heads on
the Democratic side.

Ben Le Fevre has also come, and

Leedom for Sergeant at Arms. What
he will do on the Speakership depends
upon what the various candidates will
do for Leedom. If they don't recip,
rocate, he may feel called upon to
prevent the election Of one or two Of
them, in which case there won't be
more than two, and possibly not over
one nominated on the first ballot, un.

Of the idea, as | should expect that
co,education at the age suitable for
college life to have a distracting effect
on the minds Of the young women
at any rate Il have not considered tie
subject as it regards the young men).
| should think it would add to other
eXoltements 10 that attendant on the
purlult Of knowledge, and In my OK
perience | have found that the latter
is quite as much as the health Of most
young women will stand. They can,
not afford to divide their time and
strength between learning and social
interests. | should wish women 10
have the freest and widest Oppor-
tunities OF desires as 10
courses of study TO be able 10
takelthe same courses as the Young
men take, or others if thew nreieP
them. A liberal education Is q costly
thing. We find that the cost to
women is very much lessened by their
colleges being SO situated that he
women students can have the services
ofthe teachers provided for the men
students. High education must lead
TO equalization; you cannot study
many things deeply 1t might well
happen that IN any given number Of
students there would be only a few
either. male or female for some
special branch, and that the
teacher OF the men in that subject
would have time enough 10 teach The
women, IL would in such case be a
yarte to have two teachers, and The
double fees must SECURE a better
teacher, Further, library and muse
