THE SPEAKERSHIP CAMP: Increasing Activity at the Candidates’ Headquarters, SOUTHERN SUPPORT OF MR. RANDALL. At Mr. Randall's rooms this morning there was a good deal more activity and a better appearance of efticient organization than at any time hereto- fore in the canvass. Not only was there a large at- tendance of his friends from Pennsylvania but ten fhembers of the democratic congressional delega- tion from that state—the largest. number yet re- ported—were on hand anxious to serve his in- terests, and word was recelved from the other two that they were only detatned at home by profes- slonal engagements and would be in the city by Thursday at the lat Members of Congress from New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Ohto and Indiana were also present and united in’ their es- timate of the Importance of Mr. Randall’s election in strengthening the organization in these doubt- ful states, upon Which the election of Mr. Randall depends. 5 A,prominent southern, member who dropped in during the morning indignantly resented the 1dea that any obligation rested upon the Representa- tives of his section, as such, to support a southern candidate or one of Mr. Cartisies views on the tariff and revenue questions. In vindication of his ar- dent support of Mr. Randail he exhibited a bundle of southern papers and read from them editorial extracts testifying to the pular support of the Pennsylvanta candidate. “Here, for instance,” he sald, “is the New Orleans Times-Democrat, hith- erto classed a Carlisle paper. In its issue of No- vember 24th tt si Mr. Randall favors a discrimi- nating tarlff—a tariff so adjusted as to strengthen and promote the industrial growth of the South, securing us in the steps we have already taken and assuring us safety In the steps we have yet to take. We cannot support Mr, Carlisle in this con- test with the lights now before us.” ‘The Loutsville Post,in Mr. Carlisle's own state, with the kindliest_ personal ‘feelings toward htm? realizes the saine thing, and Its issue of November says: “tis safe to say that two-thirds of Mr. Carlisie's supporters honestly believe t would be better for the democratic party to defeat instead of electing him.” ‘The New Orleans Picayune of November 22 puts it thus: “The conservative and judicious elements of the democratic party strongly favor Randall’s election, It 1s the Safe thing to do.” The Augusta, Ga., Chronicle and Constitutton- Gist, November 23, quotes approvingly. from the Nashville American the suggestion that “Randall's chief claim on his party is that of a brakesman, no one else having ever hid the same chance to show his power to keep the party out of mischief that he has had. If there was ever a time when the demo- cratic train needed a strong hand at the brakes to keep it from going too fast round the curves, it 1s now.” Mr. Randall himself was seen by a THE Star to-da reporter of at his rooms at the National hotel, surrounded by a number of enthuslastic friends. He sald: *As far as I could dictate I have deprecated brag and bluster. My canvass has been orderly, free trom abuse of my opponents but effec- tive, and Thave no doubt of my success. There are 110 and more of the democratic representatives ‘Whose judgments are against Mr. Carlisle’s election, and their votes will be given to prevent his elec: ion.” MR. CARLISLE’S CONVICTIONS OF SUCCESS. Mr. Carlisle’s headquarters were thronged with his friends to-day. To a Srak reporter Mr. Car- lisle said that developments since yesterday had tended to confirm his conviction of his own success. He said that incoming members bring information showing that he (Carlisle) is stronger than he and his friends had estimated. MR. COX AND THE NEW YORK DELEGATION. Mr. Cox was at his parlors early in the day and Was surrounded by his friends) He said that Mr. Mulicr, of New York city, had never been counted for Gox, but that, with that exception, the delega- tion will be solid.” Very many souther:. embers called on Mr. Cox and assured him of the kindly feeling of thelr people and of themselves for him. Mr. Cox believes that he has the best position in the race, and that he will eventually win, REPRESENTATIVE BELMONT, of New York, sald to-day that Randall will get more votes from New York than any of his oppo- nents had conceded him. ‘This statement wasmade toshow the status of the del as between Randall and Carlisle. Mr. Belmont agserted that | the tion 18 for Cox, and that it will endeavor to elect him speaker. But should the fight narrow down to Carlisle and Randall the indications are that the latter will get at least sixteen and prob- ably seventeen votes out of the twenty-one,” So} ‘Truth, the colored lecturess, patie Oreck, Mich, yesterday, aged 108 yosre at ‘ir.

The dissatistaction of the students of the National College of Pharmacy occastoned by the adiatssion of Oscar M. Attwood, a colored man, as a student, re Suited last night tn all but eight of the forty-six students leaving the school, he presideut of the college association. Attwood, who is a clerk tn the surgeon general's office, and a grad- uate in medicine, comtenced attending the lee tures on the second or third day after the college opened for the November term. The other students, among whom {8 one lady, manifested objection to his admittance, In consequence of which there was some delay about his getting his ticket of adimis- ston. ‘The opposition to his betug admitted soon spread throughout the school, and yesterday a petition asking that he be not adinitted was circulated among the students for thelr signatures. About twenty-nine signed It, and It was fortvarded to the Doard of trustees. Upon the receipt of the petition the board held 9 meeting, and after a 10 cussion ordered the treasurer, Mr. Milburn, a ticket of admission to the applicant, as t Tecognized no distinction based upon color merely, Alter sending tn their petition, the studexts—or such as formed the opposition party, which 1s a large majority—resolved that they would leave the School if AUbwWood were admitted.’ LEAVING THE CLASS-ROOM IN A BODY. At last night's lecture there was a very lange at- tendance, nearly all the students being present. When the lecture began Attwood had not arrived And the class took their seats quietly. The lecture had proceeded for about ten minutes, when the door opened and Attwood entered and Walked to Dis desk, Every eye was turned to the door as he en- |, and for a moment the lecturer was checked. Then, with one accord. about thirty-eight of the students got up and left the room, eight only of the Whole class remaining. Attwood’ stood up tn his Place and gave a loud, sneering laugh as they Med out, then took his seat and the lecture continued. ‘The whole affair passed off quietly, WHAT THE STUDENTS SAY. Anumber of students who were seen by a STAR Teporter to-day sald that they would not return to the college so long as Attwood was permitted to re- main; that they bad entered the college under the finpression that It. was select, and said. they eonld have entered a mixed school ata much lower Uul- Uon fee. Mr. Johh Milburn, treasurer of the col- lege, sald that it woutd be impos state what action wonld be taken In the matter by the board of trustees, but he did not think that the revolt would amount’ to much. He said that Att- Wood was the first colored inan ever admitted to the colieze, Though they had from. time to thine re- | Celved applications for admittance frotn colored nen. 4 when the first lady was almlt ted.” he aided, “but it was soon quieted down, and T think this will be.” District overnment Affairs.
