CARLISLE CONFIDENT.

The Vote by Which He Claims That He Will Capture the Speakership. [Washington Telegram.] The following table showing the votes claimed by Carlisle for Speakership, and the votes allowed by him to Randall, Is said to be correct by Congressman Phil Thompson, who is the confidential friend of Carlisle: Car- Ran-I Car- Ran- - lisle, d&ll.i Hale. dalL Alabama 4 4 Mis ouri 10 4 Arkansas * I,Nevada 1 O' California. 3 SiNew Jersey 0 3.

The Tilden influence is said to be for Randall and the Tammany for Cox, but it is understood that when Cox drops out of tho fight John Kelly will not favor or oppose either of the other men. The few Randall men here ridicule the extravagant claims of Carlisle, and say that in Tennessee and Georgia, for Instance, the figures will be exaotly reversed. Randall is expected to be here Thursday, and then hie claims in detail, which have not yot appeared, will probably be made known.
