long, in the estimation of considerate and
thinking men, been between Carlisle and
Randall. Randall represents individual
interests that are antagonistic to those of
the people. He is otherwise good Demo
,crat, fearless and able debater, and one
OF the best leaders the Democrats ever had
on the floor of the House; thorough
parliamentarian, master OF the rules OF the
by the Republicans with fear and dread,
except on one question, and that of the
tariff revision, which is to be the great
question between the two political parties
in the Presidential contest OF 1884. This,
with a majority of the rank and file OF the
party, is fatal TO his advancement, and will
most assuredly defeat him in his contest
for the Speakership. Carlisle, on the
other hand, is in perfect sympathy with
the Democratic party. He is upon the
record as a Representative for economy,
retrenchment and reform; for curtsuling
the expenses of the government by the
reduction OF the horde of oflice-see kers
who under Republican management az IC
