Randall.
IL think, said this man, who knows tn
pulse of his State, "shat Randall is stronge
in Louisiana 10 day than any other of tn
many who are spoken OF for the nomina
ton. He has the good will Of the sugs
planters, generally; he Treated Us fairly il
the organization of the House committees
if not the State itself, the Sta es arount
about Us, Mississippi and Alabama particu
lsrly. Then again, the Times Democrat
the leading paper in the South, is friendly
to him. Msjor Burke, its owner, went oyeI
10 Randall in the Spsakership contest
leaving Carlisle. Burke is an able man, il
State Treasurer and Director General of tbs
Worlds Industrial Exposition, TO be opened
at New Orleans next December, and will,
think, eventually reach the Senate"
Randall In the East.
In New Yolk, it is aid to me that Tilier
prefers Randall, although he has sail tha'
Payne, having no record on the tariff,
Su ulu be less vausble.
Thsl doesen't look much like a square
issue!
Said Hon John J. Campbell. "Rapdali
ba. more chsracter than almost any man
III the Den ocratic party. He Is distinct
Vejy nan OF force and whatever he doss
S from downright, osltlve conviction
He's entirely free of demsgogism. Nov
Holman Il Indiana is a demagogue but
Randall is positive, dogmstic, tirm-set,
Ion.wiil' d sort OF a man"
would he beat Blaine?"
There is no DOUBT of II. 1t would be
contest between man OF recognized m
tegIity on the one side, and q harum- -scarum
jumping, bowling blunderbu,s of snarp
political juggler on the other"
But how do you account for Mr.. Blaines
popularity"
Just Us 1 account for the craze that Bar
NUNS nenagerie excite5. There are lots
of people who don't know why they ART
for BlsiI Q. Excitement is contagious, these
people are psrpetually going OF liSs corks
IN teer totles. TheJ won't believe any

account Of bis stubborn cause IN the tarin
matter. He should yield gracefully to the
ut ioriiy, headed by such men as Carll3lr
ana Ctl. Morrison, and be verned by tn
PRINCIPLES of the party, but he is man o.
power and influence. | have no doubt thai
ue is following his better judgment 10
delaying, and il possible choking of lesis
lati, on the Morrison bill. He has had
every chance in Congress; Is very honest,
has kept out of jobbery, and frowned upon
lobbying and corruption. He Is poor
man. and that, considering the opportun!
this he might have wlnked at, is 10 his
credit. MY own individual choice for the
presidency would be CARLISLE, the ables'
man in the House, man OF very grea'
learning, an unysrnished statesman .
mild hammered gentleman, q student and n
,binker, one Of the purest men the worin
over, governed solely by what he thlnKs l.
just ard right, decided ornameGt 20 tnr
House and to the SpeskersLip. estse n
Morfi son very highly, but either OF These
men would do"
Flower a Go.
Randall Is far stronger In New York
than spy OF the men there who have been
u.med as possible candidates, Cox. Dors
heimer, Cleveland aud F.ower. Flower
hss good deal of money and very little o
,pylhiog else that would qrallfy ct,iz4r
For the executive Office, except possibly
he capsci,y 10 give good dinners, and they
will hardly do.
