WASHINGTON, D. G., November 29.-Tht
speakership canvass has been worked in
dustriously all day to almost the entire ex'
clusion Of ofThanksgiving ceremonies. The
Sammy South is again on the warpath
aud ia laying the lasso with great
severity on the backs OF the Randall men
S,uth OF the Potomac. "A week ago Rar,
dali had pledges from one or more in
every Southern State, and 1t Is to
force these into line for Carlisle
that the Kentucky brigade has been
working night aud day, coaxing, threaten.
ing and buying, by turns. In many cases
they have been successful and now are
clamoring ior Viva socs vote in order that
the traitors to their section may be spotted
and punished hereafter. Tonight Car.
Isle claims 20 out Of the 104Southern men.
Randall holds Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia pretty firmly 80 far, but outside OF
these States Carlisle has the call.
The bitternefs OF the canvass ia wholly
on the part Of tha Carlisle men against the
Southern men who do not readily fall into
line.
I ''PRRE TRADE AND DOWN WITH TARIFF"
At least twenty-five Western men are
bowling for "free trade, and down with
the tariff which they proclaim, with
parrotlike cry, to be the rich mans mo-
nopoly. These men aIe fer Carlisle solid.
ToE,ha demand OF the delegations from
New York, Connecticut, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, the
doubtful States OF next year, that RardalPs
election Is eE3entisl tn Hucct's, the recon-
structed simply reply: "That's been
worked on US too often. We are going to
have our share OF what there is now, and
let the future take care OF itsell."
A Philadelphia paper, with an article in
II Yesterday on the "Woodman Spare-That-
Tree" order, has served the same purpose
q red flag does to an infnriated bull. 1t
has exasperated and solidified instead OF
securing % halt and consideration Of It's
argument. The action OF the Georgia,
Missouri and Tennessee delegations to.
morrow will have very decided bearing
on the result, as they have 50 members.
Over half are committed to Randall.
A majority Ii now claimed by Carlisle on
each State, and vigorous efforts are being
made to secure the vote In each State as
unit. ~ ft
X PUTTING THEIR FOOT IN IT.
II there is not a great change OF spirit
among the Democrats before the winter is
over they will have succeeded in arraying
against them the manufacturers and skilled
labor OF the North, the railroads and Ma
tional banks In a manner that will make
them active agencies in next years election
while all were dormant and indifferent
while the present Congress- was being
elected.
The New York delegation met this even.
ing. Ahouth hall were present and decided
10 stand BY Cox. How long this will last
ia hard to tell. Mr.. Coxifclaims pledges
from 90 members, Carlisle 122, Randalls
friends count up no, and Springer has
Withdrawn, making 2s25o or 100 more than
there aIeto 60 into Caucus. - ~
"A dispatch from New York says ex-sena,
tor Birnum, Chairman Of the National
Democratic Committee, will be here to-
morrow in. the -interes. OF Randall. The
largest crowds have been at Randall's
rooms all day. The ontside pressure is
strongest for him, but the bulldozipg is for
Carlisle. ( AS Black burn says, II Is his; he
is already elected, andis belongs to him,
&c. BY tomorrow night about 80 To 40
more who are now playing doable may be
definitely located. LIZ.
