WASHINGTON, November 29.-Randalls
only hope for election lies in his breaking
up the vote of the South, which has hither-
to been solid for Carlisle. He etbects,
through the operations of his friends, to
secure the Votes OF Tennessee, Georgia and
Missouri. But from these States not one
man has yet been found who will commit
himself to RandalPs support Anether re-
lance of his is upon the votes of the men
who are waiting 10 find out, as they say,
which way the "cat jumps"-in other
words, to find out who is likely to he the
successful man. The atte,hrt On the part
of the New York Sin, in the interest OF
Samuel j. Tilden, who is behind Randall,
to raise the sectional question, and hoist
the bloody shirt inside the Democratic
party was an utter and signal failure
at once, proving what the AppkAt he's
long believed, that the rank and file
of the party throughout the country is
prepared to indorse, not only Southern
man for the Speakership, but also for the
Nlce-Presidency. All the strong men of
the party, opposed TO the manipulations
OF its interests by the machine politicians
of New FORK, are for Carlisle, and as earn
estly oppose Randall's election to the
Speakership. Ex-senator Joseph +. Nc
Donald, OF Indiana, a candidate for the
Democratic Presidential nomination in
1884, is a strong advocate of the election of
Mr. Carlisle, and is exerting all his admit
tedly great influence to that end. The out
rageous lies which, in addition to the sec
tional question, have been set atloat by his
opponent to injure Mr. Carlisle, have not
had the desired effect. 1t is well known
here, as well as in Kentucky, Indiana and
Ohio, that no more sober, discreet and dig
nitied man than Mr.. Carlisle has any re-
lationship with the politics OF the country
Another dodge OF Mr.. Randall's friends to
secure resolutions and letters from "busi-
ness men" throughout the country, to the
effect that Mr.. Carlisle's election as Speak
er will almost ruin them, has had no eff
feet, whatever, to reduce his strength.
That is fixed and positive. This will be
realized in the support which Mr.. Carlisle
receives from such members of the House
as Mr.. Stockslager, of Indiana, who rep
rescnts the largest manufacturing dis
trict in his State, the one formerly
represented by the lamented Michael
G. Kerr, whose election as Speaker was
antagonized by Nj. Randall. He says
that only one Representative from his
State will for Mr. Randall; the re-
manning eight, he claims, will vote for
Mr.. Carlisle. As to the sectional dodge,
the letter Of Gen. Gordon, the flop of the
Atlanta Constitution and the New Orleans
Times Democrat, these have passed as the
wind. They have had no perceptible effect
as yet, and it is generally believed will not
have. These two papers have done so
much good work for Carlisle and against
Randall that it was impossible for them to
neutralize or blot it out. The names so
far ascertained of members who are here
committed to Mr.. Carlisle are as fol-

George w. Cassidy. OF those who are
here committed to Mr.. Cox, Slocum, Bel
mont, Seney, Spriggs, Stevens and
Wemple, of New York, it is believed will
vote for Mr.. Carlisle. Casey Young, OF
Tennessee, will certainly vote for Carlisle
after the first ballot. so also will Pierce, o.
Tennessee, and it is believed that
Hill, wilkins and Murray, of Ohio, will
do the same thing. Poindexter Dunn, o.
Arkansas, who is committed to Springer
will vote for Carlisle after the first ballot
and thus satisfy the wishes of his con
stituents. Follet, Jordan and Lefevre, o
Ohio, and Culbertson, OF Texas, will very
likely go with the majority of the mem
bers of those States, who are for Carlisle
\ The pressure is very strong upon members
to respond to the wishes OF Eastern manu-
facturers and the protectionists generally
but the friends of Carlisle are among the
influential men from the South and West
in and out of the party, and therefore in
| flexible i'll their determination to adhere
to him, and looking to the best interests
OF the party, and its triumph in 1854, they
will do what they can to secure the elec
ton of their candidate. II he is defeated
it will be triumph for the sectionalist:

AGreat Day for Carlisle.
| Special to the Appeal
| WASHINGTON, November 29.-This ha.
been Carlisle's great day in the Speaker
ship fight. In the first place, Springer
withdrew, and the Illinois delegation de
clared itself solidly for Carlisle. Springer
did not include himself in this declaration
but it is generally admitted he, too, is:fol
Carlisle. Then four of the Georgis
representatives, two of whom had al
along been counted for Randall, arrived
and announced themselves for the Ken
tuckian. Then it became known that the
Texas delegation of ten Democrats had
held meeting and had resolved to vote
for Carlisle. All this served tC
raise the enthusiasm of the Car
/ Isle following TO the highest pitch
and during the day and tonight they
have manifested more confidence thar
