THE Democrats in the vacant RAN
DALI district are troubled to find man
to fill his place. RANDALL had not
lived in the district for many years, and
it is not required to have resident.

jority in 1888, and is reliably Demo-
cratic; but it was made up to elect
RANDALL. and can easily be arranged
by Republican apportionment to send
Republican. RANDALL was infected
with the Pennsylvania idea, and was
personally popular with the Republic
ans. They always gave him the dis
trict, frequently putting no candidate
against him.
