CONGRESSMAN CARLISLE.

A Southern M. C. Thinks He Will Be Made Speaker. . [Washington Telegram to Chicago Times.] A Southern Congressman said to-day : “If Mr. Randall is to be elected, I don’t know where he is going to get his votes. During the summer I have seen and talked with at least sixty Democratic members of Congress. I have with them gone over the entire field, and I think I know where the votes will go." Taking a list of the next House of Representatives by States, he counted off the votes conceded to Randall by the Carlisle men. They are as follows: Alabama 3, Arkansas 1, Connecticut 3, Delaware 1, Florida 1, Georgia 1, Indiana I, Louisiana 3, Maryland 4, Massachusetts 1, Mississippi 1, Missouri 1, Nevada 1, New ' Jersey 2, New York 1, North Carolina 1, Ohio 2, Pennsylvania 12, South Carolina 1, Tennessee 1, Texas 2, Virginia 2, West Virginia 3 and Wisconsin I—a total of 5u votes, •r just 4(5 short of the number necessary to nominate This would leave 141 Democratic votes against Randall, of which it is claimed that over 100 are for Carlisle Continuing his conversation, the Southern member said: “Carlisle will be nominated on the first ballot Among the Southern members we concede to Randall are some who want to vote for him, but the tariff sentiment of their district is so strong that I believe they will not dare to support RandalL Yes, Carlisle will be Speaker, and John Clark will be Clerk of the next House. Mr. Randall is claiming votes in New York, but even after Cox drops out of the race he will only get about three. Tilden and the New York Hun are making a show of supporting Randall to hold his influence for them in Pennsylvania nmct year. They are just playing with RandalL The indications in New York now are that Tilden Will take up Cleveland as his Presidential candidate, and, in order to get Randall’s support for him in Pennsylvania, they make a show of supporting him for Speaker.”
