THE RULES CHANGED,
\ Washington Cor. of Richmond State
Gives an Account of the Defeat OF the
Randall Wing.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-The decisive vote
was reached in the House of Representa-
uves to-day, and the Randall wing of the
Democratic party has been oyerruled on
the proposition to change the rules of the
House and distribute the appropriations.
lhe Democrats voting with Mr.. Randall
numbered but al out of a total vote of 90,
50 that 1t viii be seen that Messrs. Morri-
son. Carlisle and others who favored the
distribution had a large majority of Demo
Gratis, which, with the Republicans who
aided them, carried the proposition 10y an
overwhelming ma jority.
When the great tariff fight was made i'll
the last Congress Mr.. Randall had nearly
all of the Republican members to aid him.
III that contest, as III this one, 1t WAS
claimed that 1t was not Il party fight This
little affair has many curious features
about it. Things are somewhat mixed
Nearly all of the revenue reformers were
found in the Carlisle Morrison ranks. The
leading Republicans voted with them, and
Mr.. Reed, the long headed politician from
Maine, Is bOasting to night that he and his
fellow Republicans have gained "A party
advantage. having divided the Democracy.
The Democratic leaders, however, do not
seem to fear amy disastrous consequences,
and ridicule the argument that with a dis
tribution of the appropriations there will
be any greater opportunities for fraud.
They say that they propose to watch these
points. and that there are honest men who
viii serve on the committees, and see that
| there is economy in public expenditures.
The vote to-day is an interesting one to
analyze.
All of the Virginia members We're pre-
sent except Mr.. Daniel, who has been alb
sent for several days in Richmond and at
his home in Lynchburg. Had he been here
he would have voted with the delegation
against the Randall idea. Even the two
Republicans from Virginia voted against
the Randall party Kentucky went solid
! for Carlisle and Morrison, and that viii
cause broad smile from Col. Henry Wat
terson's star-eyed Goddess of Reform. Col.
| Burnes was the only one of the Missouri
members who voted for the rules to re
most solidly for the change, as did nearly
| all the Democrats in the northwestern and
| western States
| Tonight many Of the friends of Mr.
! Randall are drawing consolation out of the
thought that their chief will be in posi-
ton to thwart the plans of some leaders
whom they charge with having desire tC
dive too deep into the public treasury
| They assert that there is too much of 3
| tendency towards recklcssness, and thai
| the great Pennsylvania will make his
| power felt further along in the session
when things become mixed, as they pre-
diet will surely be the case under the new
order of things. Prominent members who
| voted for the change merely laugh at th'
statements, and altogether there has beeI
quite breeze among the legislators Owe
the days results.
