In reply to the circulars sent out by
Governor Larrabee, of Iowa, TO several
thousand shippers and jobbers of the
state for the purpose of eliciting their
views as to the effect of recent railroad
legislation, the answers received have
been quite satisfactory. Less than
fourteen per cent OF the shippers are
reported to be opposed to the COVER
nor's policy, the majority being we'll
satisfied with the rates as fixed by the
railroad commission. This would
clearly indicate that the people Of
Iowa sustain their governor in his de-
termiued fight for equitable rates and
fair treatment. Since the operation OF
the now tariff sheets on probation the
railroad agitation in Iowa has quieted
down, and the question gives promise
Of permanent and satisfactory settle

THE RANDALL WING.

The wing Of the democracy which
acknowledges the lead dership Of Samuel
j. Randall dwindled to very small pro-
portions in the last congress. There is
some reason to believe that the Penn
sylvania congressman will have Il larger
following in the next Congress, and
there are already intimations that he
intends making an effort 10 regain the
position of leader of the house, which he
long held. Mr.. Randall was the first to
suggest that the imperative duty of
the democratic party is to get to-
gether," and he has since said some
things that have very plainly indi-
Gated the lines on which he would have
it get together. These will not be ac-
ceptable to the Carlisle-Mills wing, but
tariff Legislation IN the new congress
will probably be left wholly with the re-
publicans, thus avoiding democratic an
tagonisms on this subject, and Mr..
Randall, it is intimated, will seek to
concentrate the party on another issue
in the management of which his AS
cenden cy might become easy.
There are two matters suggested as
principal features of the plan
which Mr.. Randall is believed to
be contemplating. One of these re-
lates to the proposed. change of the
rules, to which he has already signitied
his hostility. The other refers to the
supposed purpose OF the republicans TO
adopt some measures for the better reg
ulation of federal elections in the south.
Tbn n; nf pnndnl1 IL ia fhnpnhf
will be to impress the democrats of the
house with the superior Importance of
| these matters over revenue questions,
and if he can accomplish this his ambi-
tion OF leadership will be attained, for
no man on the democratic side of the
house Is so we'll equipped as he to
conduct n battle whore parliament
tary devices must play the most
important part. Once having taken
the sceptre from Carlisle and Mills,
and been again enthroned as the leader
| of the democratic side of the house, the
Randall wing OF the democracy would
become the potential wing, and its
| chief, whom the domi nant element has
sought to humiliate and deny three
years hence may play conspicuous
part in determining who shall be the
presidential standard bearer of the
party.
There can be very little doubt that
Mr.. Randall was not the least bit dis
turbed by the outcome Of the last ma
tional campaign. 1t was fought by his
party on lines which he did not ap
prove, and besides he had no interest
in the political success OF Mr.. Cleve
land. If he should again come int
possession of his lost power OF leader
ship, and moro improbable things have
happened in politics, the friends OF thu
ex-president would have formidable
foe in their own party to overcome three
years hence. This consideration ma.
be found a troublesome barrier in th
