RANDALL BooMLET IN THIS CONNECTION.
II Congress shall adjourn by the 9Th of July
most of the democratic members will 60 direct to
chicago to attend the convention. Unless Con-
greSS adJournS many who want to 60 Will be forced
10 remain here There Is feeling that the occa-
sion calls for the presence Of the abest and coolest
party leaders 1t Is evident that the Jealous free
trade element is bent upon making row over the
tarin unless prevented by the more conservative
wing. Even among the tariff reformers there is
strong opposition to any movement looking to ex-
treme tarin declaration in the Chicago platform
The prevalent sentiment among democrats In Con-
gress is adverse to any revival at Chicago OF the
internal strife over the tariff, and an attempt in
the convention to endorse the Morrison bill IS
has been pretty free interchange of opinion re-
Gently as to the best tariff policy to be pursued
ana democrats who heartily supported the Morri-
newlng the fight over It, Both wings agree to very
Pos,xe declaration IN favor OF tartn revision and
tnat taxes should be laid for revenue
THE PRINCIPAL OBJECT
OF many OF the democratic members of Congress
In going to Chicago is to exert their influence to
prevent any row over the tariff. The plan is to
restrict the entire discussion OF that whole aues-
ton TO the committee on resolutions, and as that
committee will sit with closed doors, to thus keep
out OF public sight any differences that may arise
the general expectation Is that some compromise

bill more potent voice In shaping the tarin policy
than their opponents
WHY THE RANDALL MEN ARE HOPEFUL
1t is this necessity for moderation upon the tariff
that gives Randalis friends SO much hope They
contend that the policy Randall fought for must
be triumphant at Chicago II the party is to enter
the canvass With hopes OF success; that the action
OF the various conventions which have elected dele
gates, has shown that the wisdom OF Randalls
that MI. Randall's claims at Chicago viii be pre-
sented to friendly aSSemblage. 1t is also claimed
and apparently upon good ground, that II the
New YORK delegation fails TO agree upon demo
crat OF that state many OF the votes Will go to
Randall; that he will have, besides the solid Penn
sylvan1a delegation, votes from many other states
and that some OF his strongest supporters Will
the struggle over tue Morrison bill has died out
towards Randall His friends contend that hs con

subject Another fact not to be lost sight of is that

Speaker.
JOHN KELLY AGAIN.
Mr. John Kelly's avowed hostility to Gov. Cleve-
land was much commented upon at the Capitol to-
day. Those who believe that the New York COVER
nor is the strongest man insist that Tammany's
opposition will not hurt. 1t is admitted. upon all
hands, that 1t rests with the New York delegation
to give Cleveland the nomination for President. II
that delegation shall present his name the univer-
sal opinion Is that the Chicago convention will put
him through with hurrah; but should the New
York delegation refuse to present Cleveland that
settles him
