Flight of a Cranky Imagination.

Flight of q Cranky imagination.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-A close friend
of ex-Speaker Randall was seen by the
GLOBE correspondent last night, and the
subject of his recent interview came up.
The statement was made that Randall had
hurt himself in withdrawing as presi-
Dental possibility and renominating Cleve-
land. Mr. Randall's friend replied: ''Sam
Randall is in the hands of his friends. He
doesn't mean that he is not ready to accept
the presidential nomination." "What
then did he mean by his interview"
was asked. '.Do you want the truth?" he
asked 'sWell." he added, sit is this.
Randall saw the revolt which was growing
against Cleveland. 1t was open rebellion
in Kentucky, but little less in Louisiana
and California, and general discomfort and
apathy everywhere. Randall reasoned that
something must be done to stem the tide,
or if it was not checked the Democratic
party would not be able to elect a town
constable. He saw the necessity for action
and put himself to the front to defend
Cleveland, not that he cared so much
for him as he did to keep the Democratic
line intact He has much reason to COM
plain himself. AS yet he has not succeeded
in getting any of his friends in office, but
he has managed to keep some of his enc
mics OUT
''Then Randall defends Cleveland not for
what he has done, but in the hope that he
may yet do. something which will unite the
Democratic line and dissipate the so-called
rebellion and discontent?" ''That's it ex-
actly," was the reply.

he recommended, that would prove to adj
vantage to the lumber trade, was an adj
vance of at least 10 per cent on the present
prices and the production of less lumber so
as to gradually reduce the surplus stock.
He was unfavorable to lumber being sold

withdrawal of that class of agents entirely.

speaker Carlisle to be Reelected.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Col. Morrison
says that in his Judgment Carlisle will be re-
elected speaker of the house next winter
without opposition, if it be true, as reported,
that Randall will decline to enter the con-
test. He has not heard any of
the prominent protectionists mentioned
as probable candidates, and he
feels certain that the tariff
retormers in the house will not put candi-
date in the field against Carlisle so long as
that gentleman permits his name to be used.
Mr. Morrison was asked if there was any
probability of his own name being brought
forward for the speakership. He replied
that he, could not be induced un-
der any circumstances to become a
candidate while Carlisle was in
the field. He says his views on the tariff
question have not undergone any change
since the question was last considered in the
house, and another attempt at tariff legis-
lation will most assuredly be made during
the next congress. AS to whether or not
he expects to be chairman of the ways and
means committee in the next house, he de-
clines to say, remarking that that was a
question which would not be determined
until after the speaker had been elected.

Action Of Republican Senators.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, May 2s.--The Critic to-
night, with sensational display of italics
and capitals, publishes the following resolu-
tions, which it says it is credably in
formed were adopted last March at caucus
of Republican senators: FirsrThat in case
of the removal of any efficient
Republican public officer ON the ground Of
offensive partisanship and the nomination
of Democratic partisan in his place; that
such nomination will not be confirmed
Second That in case any Democratic part
isan causes the removal Of an efficient Repub-
lican and receives as his reward for causing
such removal the nomination as successor
to the decapitated official, such NOM
nation will not be confirmed. Two or trhee
Republican senators who were asked about
these resolutions tonight refused to make
any statements; but the fact,so far as it can
be got at by circumstantial evi-
dence, is that formal resolutions, like
the preceding were never adopted but
that the substance of the alleged resolu-
tions expressed the sentiment of most if not
all of the Republican senators. The sub
stance of the resolution is that if Demo-
crat who has been active in politics is Sc
lected the nomination will not be confirmed.
This expresses the sentiment of pretty much
all the Republicans in the senate.

Consulting Old Sam Tilden'

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The recurring
visits of Secretaries Manning and Whitney
to New York city have produced some little
anxiety and no little wonder. Politicians
ask each other if there may not be Signifi-
canoe in these trips Manning no sooner
is train-washed than he makes visit to
Greystone, and it is always heralded that he
is in conference with the Democratic sage
who lives there. Is Mr.. Tilden's advice
sought to aid the new dispersion, is not
infrequently asked, and the hope is ex-
pressed that If it be sought it will be
needed to the fullest extent. tits not pass
ing strange that S. J. Tilden is still to the
Democratic heart the embodiment of all
that is genuine in Democracy. Even with
his declining years his wisdom grows apace
and his advice is as pure gold. Hence it
is not to be considered exceptional that
ripe politicians trust and hope that
Secretaries Manning and Whitney seek the
Mecca at GreyStOne to return to their chief
in the White house ladened with precepts
grthered there. And yet if such visits are
for advice there is in it a quasi confession
that the president and his cabinet feel their
own weakness. In sense, as a well-known
politician puts it, the president is simply
running kindergarten. He can
easily explain the object lessons which
thus far have marked his admin
istration for there are but two.
These are overzeal to enforce the civil ser
vice law and fear of the tenure Of Office
act. Now, however, the president finds he
is out in the deep waters, aiming to build
up the Democratic party from the enemy.
If the president has at last been forced
by self preservation to take Samuel j. Til
den by proxy into his cabinet, the Demo-
cratic leaders viii gladly say amen and hal
lelljah. They know this means Democracy.
