Representative Forney, who was one of Mr. Ran- dall’s supporters in the speakership contest, said to @ Stax reporter to-day that It looked as if the favorites were gotng to be left out of the presiden- Ual race, “McDonald,” he sald, “Is at present ‘ahead of any one else on the democratic side, but he won't get the nomination. He has now more votes than any other one man, but he has_not half the whole number, and the opposition of Hendricks and his wife would beat his nomination.
