THE SPEAKERSHIp

Effect of the Elections of the
Chances of the Leading Candi-
dates.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-There are
twenty members of the lower house
of both parties in Washington. There
are two subjects talked abOut-the
speakership and the elections. The
elections are a new and important fac
tor in the speakership contest. They
are discussed with special reference to
their effect upen RandaIl's chances.
THERE ARE TWO THEORIES
as to the manner in which he will be
affected. One is, that Randall will be
strengthened in that the result in Vir-
ginia shows that the republicans are
likely to revive the old issue of solid
north against q solid south; that Ran
dali will be able to keep objectiona-
BILE issues out of the campaign, and
will prevent any possible agitation of
the tariff; and that if the democracy
is prudent it will avoid any such di-
viding issue in the close states of the
north, notably in New Jersey and In
diana
THE SECOND VIEW IS,
that the election has weakened Ran
dali. Those who advance this theory
point not south of the Potomac. but
to Pennsylvania, and say that Ran
dali and the democratic protectionists
of that state, with a reform democrat
ic governor at Harrisburg, in an off
year have been unable to retain the
control of the state, and that that
fact alone shows that the democratic
alliance with the protectionists is
futile; that the democracy will do
well to assert itself, declare its princi-
pies for revenue tariff only, abandon
the ostrich policy, and draw sharply
the line throughout the whole coun-
try exactly on the tariff
Meanwhile,
TIE FRIENDS OF cox
are much more confident than they
were, and the indications are that he
will have strength IN unexpected
quarters. He has votes ia OHIO. in
California, in Texas, and in many
portions of the south. The speaker
ship canvass now seems very much
closer than it has been. The leading
candidates are more nearly even. and
the elections have not rendered the
situation less complicated.

The justice before whom Carpenter
has hearing summed up the case by
stating that while the prosecutor had
shown probable cause" the evidence
had not been such as would warrant
him in denying the accused an oppor-
tunity to give bail. The pris-
oner's bond was placed at $4,000 for
his appearance at the next term Of the
court and the sureties offered were
approved by the court. The father OF
