a complimentary vote for Cox until the

The game is fully understood oy ht.
Randalrs friends. Mr.. Cox will not DO
allowed to use complimentary H"'S Ior
any such purpose. There are at least
sixteen members of the New York delega-
ton who are for Randall and who cane be
played that way. The New York de!ega'
ton has been claimed solidly for Cox, with
one exception, and this is the only thing
which has given Cox any standing Us
candidate. When It is fairly understood
that he has no chance Of election, but Is
simply playing into the hands of Carlisle,
the New York support Of Cox tumoles
into fragments aud sixteen OF the deleSa'
ton will go to Randall on the first ballot.
Aud that is Just what will occur. Cox
will be thrown overheard before . single
vote is taken aud q square issue made
between Randall aud Carlisle. Marx ms
words"
From the conGdeu. RandalIite to the
confident Carlisle men was CGly the dis
tauce of hotel counter, but the distance
between their respective opinions IS q
long as success is from failure. Mr.. Car
isles friends fearlessly assert that wher
the division ensuCd in the New York del
cgation with few exceptions the repre-
| scntatives from that state would flock Z
| the Kentuckian. They claimed 10 hay'
assurances 10 that effect from two.thirdJ
of the Democratic members OF the dele
CATION, and they said further that Mr.
Tilden could not transfer their support /,
Mr.. Randall as had been stated. y san
euino Carlisle cauvasser representing
Western district is authority for the state
ment that the latter already has vote
enough pledged 10 nominate him on tn
first ballot and q combination with Mr.
Cox or anyone else would be unnecessary
1t Is stated that Mr.. Carlisle had pre-
pared document giving his views on tn
| tariff, but al the solicitation of friends h
had consented 70 defer publishing it.

dallites have big scheme afoot to get a

Mr.. Randall said in effect:
$50 far as | could dictate have depre
Gated brag and bluster. Ny canvas ha
been orderly, free from abuse of m
opponents, but effective, and have D
doubt of my success. There are 10 on

| Representative Converse, OF Ohio, VII
has been mentioned in connection with th
speakership, arrived Tuesday, and in II
sponse 10 an inquiry announced himself q
uuqualihedly for Mr.. Randall. He too
substantially the same ground as Q,
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, holding tha
it was party necessity which dictated ii
nomination of the eN-speaker. NJ
Converse disclaimed any speakershi
aspirations, but wanted to see Mr.. Randa
back in his old position. Considerab
enthusiasm was manifested at Mr.. RAJ
dall's headquarters over this declaratio
of principles by the Ohian, and for son
time he was the centre Of throng
admirers, to whom he explained Il
wishes of Ohio statesmen. There was
continual throng in Mr.. Randalrs room
all day and he was kept busy respopdr
to salutations from visitors and givir
instructions TO the gentlemen who O
