CONGRESSMAN CARLISLE.

A Southern M. C. Thinks He Will Be Made Speaker. [Washington Telegram to Chicago Times.l A Southern Congressman said to-day: “If Mr. Randall Is to be elected, I don’t know where he is going to get bis votes. During the summer I have seen and talked with at least sixty Democratic members of Congress. I have with them gene over the entire field, and I think I know where the votes wiUgo.” Taking a list of the next House of Representatives by States, he counted off the voces conceded to RandaH by tne Carlisle men. They are as follows: Alabama 3, Arkansas 1, Connecticut 3, Delaware 1, Florida 1, Georgia 1, Indiana l, Louis ana- 3, Maryland 4, Massachusetts 1, Mississippi 1, Missouri 1, Nevada 1, New Jersey 2, New York 1, North Carolina 1, Ohio 2,l’ennsvlvania 12, South Carolina 1, Tenues ee 1. Texas 2, Virginia 2, West Virginia 8 and Wisconsin I—a total of 5u votes, or just 46 short of the number necessary to nominate This would leave 141 Democrat c votes auainst Randall, of which it is churned, that over HO are for Carlisle Continu ng h:s 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 t-o strong that I believe they will not dare to 6uppo t Randall. Yes, Cailisle 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 wiH only get about three. Tilden and the New York Sun are making a show of supi orting Randall to bold his influence for them in Pennsylvania next year. They are just playing with Handall. The indications in New York now are that Tilden w.I take up Cleveland as his Presidential candidate, and, in order to get Randall’s support for him in Pennsylvania, they make a show of supi orting him for Speaker.”
