MIR. RANDALI's CONFIDENCE.
Mr. Randall continues serene and cheerful, and whilo
his friends not inclined boast they do not seem in
the least disturbed dsheartened by the loud claims
set up by the friends of the Kentucky candidate "You
can judge better about the votes OF Mis-
souri, Georgia and Tennessee after the Representatives

If ballot be taken tonight the chances arc
that enough of these would vote for Mr. Randall
give him majority. The situation tonight may be
summed up as follows:
Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Randall are both equally confident
OF success Mr. Cox is hopeful If not confident, and
Mr. Springer Is still candidate.

Charleston declares edoray the report that has Como
