Bpecial Dispatch to The Tridune, ‘WasminagToN, D. C., March 15.—The Speaker- ghip contest Is becomingnuimated. The leaders of both parties maintain thetr assurance. 1t is noticed for the first time, howeyer, that Randall admits it would be possible to defeat him with 1 candidate from south of the Fotomac River. ‘This {8 the first concession to the strength of tho opposition Randall bas made. He sald fo. night thyt so long as his opponents adhere to Blackbura ho hios no fears. Itfs very cvident, however, that the opposition to Randall 18 strong onough, it concenyrated, to dofeat him, and that Randall knows it ‘The arrivals of ncw Congressmen to-day have not been reassuring to Randall, and bave con- vinced his managers of ", TILE POSSIDILITY OF DEFEAT. Ttis evident that the contest hangs upon the delegations from Ohlo, Indiana, and Missour, Both partics claim to havo the advantage fn all the States. There has never been a Speakership contest in which Scnators have taken so active a part. Benators Beck, Vest, and Wallace are at work overy hour of the day, and almost of the night, insupnort of Blackburn's candidacy. The ap- pearance of Wallace, of Pennsylvania, in tho field agalpst Randall {8 a formidable fact for the latter. Scnator Vest, of Missour, {8 teliflng the Democratic delegation from that Stato that he will take the stump against every maan who works for Randall, and secure his de- feat for re-clection for the Forty-seventh Con- gress, and that Raodall 18 NOT THE MAN WANTED by the Democracy weat of the Missourl River. 1t fs said that there are from twelve to fitteen membera who do not want to vote for elther Blackborn or Randall. If as many votes could bo cast for ncandidate ather than Blackburn orRan- dall, of course neither of these two could be elected, Randall’s victory ovidently must de- pend upon his strength on tho tirst ballot. On that Lallot he will cast his greatest strength. After that, should ho show weakness, a consld- “erable portion of his strength would jmmedi- ately go in search of the winuing man, Bill Morrison says there is NO CIIANCE FOR A DARX IIORSH or compromigo candidate; that the race is squarely between Raudall and Blackburn, and thut, 1t those who will not yoto uuder any cir- ‘cumstauces for Randall will rally to Blackburn, the laiter can be clected. Pollticians, ‘though, equally ns sagncious as Morrison, eay now that neither of them will be chosen, AN INVENTION OF TII ENEMT, Randall safd vo-night that the stories that his campalmn s belvg conducted on a Tilden basis I8 an fnvention of the cnemy. * Mr, Tilden," said Randall, * can't carry on the campalgn of 1880 over my chess-board, I never recelved a favor from Tilden in my life. The obligation is . all the other way.” PERNANDO WOOD sald to-nizht thut with New York, Pennsylvania, and Georgla solid for Randall the Iatter cannot ‘o beaton, but Fernando begs the queation, Blackburn men to-night efalm the ‘tammany ‘votes boyond question. ‘Thero was a mecting of the New York delega- ‘tlon this evening, but it was not possible to ob- tain deflnite viows.

Tho delegation voted solidly to support Randall, which wiil be a great surprise 10 Benator Wallace, who was oxpected to sccura ot least three votes for Blackburn, It fs a hu- miliating thing for Wallace to havo entered the campalgn agninst Randall, and not e able to carry n single vote In the delegation. Wright is zot expected to attend the Democratle caucus, but will go with the Greenbackers, If Randall wius in the Penusylvania caucus, he recelved o act-back fo Virglnla. Rundolph Tucker has sbandoned him, and enters the tleld actively to- night for Blackburn, ¢ TIUE UKADQUATTENS, A virlt to the headquarters of tho rival candi- dates Is the firet thing In order for newly-arrlved members, Of the two, the Hvellest and jolllest “placo to make a call at §s Blackburn’s, and the moat business-lke in appearance is Randall's, At the former there 18 u crowd all the thne, composed chiefly of Southeruers overflowhig with enthusiasm and making “cstimates of stiength every half-hour, while Blackburn, thelr candidate, shakes hands with every vis- itor, Congressman or not, and beams with the smilo of hospitality aliku upon friend wnd foe, The smaller room of thu suite {8 devoted to con- fidentinl busiuess.

Mr. Randall, it was snid, was not willing to fight for the supremacy with Senator Wallace within the party organization, but was resolved that, {f hie could not bo the suprema dictator of the Penusylvania Democracy, the whole party should go jo pleces, Alter ho nnd his friends were unanlo to dietate the nominations for State ofticers in the Convention last year, they took no Interest in the canvass, and_scveral of s leading frlends now here In Washington working It his interest did not, it s claimed, tako the trouble to vote the Democratle State ticket in' November last, 1t was further sald that Mr. Randabl woulil be glad I there was no Democratic United 8tares Senator fram T'enn- aylvanta, und if ho could continue permanently to bie the only Democratic Representative from Philadelobia it would enhance cxceedingly his fufluenco nnd prestige. Mr. Randall and lis friends wora charged with the deliberate purpose to get up DUAL LOCAL AND STATE COMMITTRES of the party, to rend contesting . delegations to the State and Matlonal Conventlous, and to run two sels of candidates for the Legislature in U'hiladelphla. Such tacties as this, it was de- clared, would glve Philladelphin to tho Renublfe- ans by 30,000 majorlty, and secure n solld Re- publican delegation in the Lezislature, Mr Ruandall belng determiued to rule or rufn It was sald that 8o well was this understood that not more than two. Pornaylvaula Democeratic members of the House were really for Mr, Ttundall at heart, although more of them miht be constralied to vots for him. Seontor Wallace, himsolf, in conversation, says that he regretied the conditon of affairs, but that b had been forcea upon htin, as hie could do no less than stund or fall with his friends. o says ho considercd the preserva- tion intact of the party organization In Penn- sylvania as of much more Importatce than the private ambitions and fortunes of o dozen men ko Mr. Raudall and himself, and that was what ho considered 1D WAS FIGHTING FOR. o dld not think it would boneflt. the Pennsyl- vania Democracy to import the Tilden system of crushing out rolentlessly ail opposition to the one-mau power. .The opponents to Randall say that he {s mak- ing profuse promises to doubtful members, and that he has aiready promised many more Chalr- mavships than thers aro commitices, nd hag promiscd at least thirty members to put them on the Committes on. Ways and Menns, which conslats of eloven members only, As to the outcome of the Speakership fight most of the estlnates are merely conjectural, Btill there aro enough members on the ground BOW to give the aspect of the canvass o mors definite shape. The hostility ueainst Randall s 10 more prottounced aud little more formidable than it was te years ago, and it was then DISORGANIZED AND DIVIDED IR PREFERENCE Lotween three meu; whereas it s now under Intelligent direction nnd is concentrated upon one candidate, who is o man of undoubted ability wnd popularity. It is not so certain, however, that 1t §s finally welded together. Many who support Blackburn have their cyes on somcehody else, Some would ko to vote for Medalion, of Obfo, others for Cox, of New York, others for Carllsle, of Kentucky, and a larger class than either is composed of members who are not 8o much opposed to TRandall that they could not be won over by a promise that, they would be better treated fn the future.

It Is fuirly charged against Randall that the most actlye-men fu s bebalf are his Chairmen of Committees fn the lnst Conwress. It fs equally true, however, that the most nctive in opposition are those who expected Chalrmnanships in 1877, and falled to get them, Morrisun, Hunton, Goode, Cox, McMabon, Eliis, and others, complaln, with ood reason, thut their cluims were overlooked or slighted [n the last distributlon of prizes. ‘There is no need of saylng whero they stand now.
