S< ..for Edmunds stated that when in tho
surest rnf 1884 the republicans of tho nation
in ihtu- convention nominated General Logan
party that he should retire from the presidency
of the senate and that General Logan should be
chosen in his place, and as they all
remembered, he had communicated
that oplniou and desire to tho republican soua*
tors, in a formal way; but it was thought at
that time best that tho change bo not made,
especially as General Logan did not wish it to
ho made. At the last presidential election
General Logan bad received, ho beliovod, the
for tho republican nomination for speaker aud
leader of the house.

members that Mr. Blaine would rather sco Mr.
Hiscock get tlm honor, but ho lias not yet shown

This nrgumont is used with deadly effect

from the naval committee ten times as big au

these difficulties there is a heavy handicap in

dent. which would have rnado him ox-officio

state of things, be thought it right that the re
publican senators should renew that expression
of confidence In General Logan by nominating
him for president of tho senate, and he accord
ingly moved General Logan bo so nominated
by acclamation.
Several senators spoko briefly in favor of tho
nomination, and the question was taken and
agreed to unanimously.
General Logrtn arose nnd said—

of temporary presiding officer of tho aenatc. I not
alone thank them but the pcoplo of tho whole
country for tlio desire they seem to feel that I
should bo given this very honorable position. ’
was however, sir, tho nominco of t
republican party for vice president and
was voted for at the last election.
I was not elected. For that nomination I then
thanked tlio republican party, and through tho
senaton present I again return to republicans of
the country my gr&tefUl acknowledgment.
If I thought I could better servo my constituents
and my country by accepting this position, I would
most unhesitatingly do so and perform tho duties
to the best of my ability. I do not so think, and am
sure I can by the work necessary to be performed
on the committees and otherwise do more that may
be useful by remaining hi my present position.
In fact, Mr. Chairman, the position is not to my
state, And unless I thought I could perform duties
n a more satisfactory manner than other senators,
which I do not. I can’t sco tho necessity for me to
occupy the chair in preference to any of my brother
senators. Tho senate has at all times been presided
over in a most satisfactory manner, since I liavo
had the honor to be one of its members, aild doubt-
lew will be so again by any ono that may be selected.
I am ready to assist in elevating any one who may
bo (elected, and now, my brother senators, I want
you to know that I fully appreciate your kindness
mud great compliment paid me, but you must allow
me to ray that after carefully considering It I feel
that I ought to decline thia nomination, and now
moat respcct/Ully do so.
After some remarks mado bv several sena
tors in deprecation of the declination, Geueral
Logan said lie had arrived at tho conclusion
expressed by him after full deliberation and
wished it considered final.
to itself Mr. Reed is likely to bo chosen as tho
candidate for speaker. He is tho ablest ub»

,MR U RANDALL’S VIEWS
Washington, December 5.—Mr. Randall
today gave to a reporter of tho Associated
Press his views respecting tho proposition to
chango tho rules of tho lionso, so os to tako
from tho cbmmittco on appropriations jurisdic
tion over some of tho appropriation bills. “Tho
democratic tfarty camo into control of tho fed'
cral government,” lie said, “on tho distinct un
derstanding that it would adhere to an eco
nomical administration. This caunot bo over
looked, if it expects to remain in power. In
all tho governments tho preparation of suitable
bills to meet expenses has been confided to ono
organization. Nothing can bo dono until by n
carcfUl and comprehensive scrutiny the amount
of necessary expenditures has been determined.
Taxation depends on the amount of expendi
tures, and tho increase of expenditures means
•n increase of taxation. To keep down ex
travagance of appropriation estimates made by
the heads of departments have been subjected to
question and examination item by item. Tho
treasury has boen protected by every safeguard
which could bo devised. It is now proposed
that nearly all thesosafeguards shall be broken
dow u and the treasury thrown open. Increased
appropriations, judging from experience, will
inevitably follow, os each of tho many com
mittees to be authorized by this chango tocon-
aider appropriations, and Into which the ap-
^ ^10^ committee as now constituted is to
vided, will naturally enhance its own !m

charge of tho expenditures and checking un
necessary appropriations, there will bo many

body will know the aggregate of tho annual
appropriations until it is too late to avoid tho
disaster of a deficient treasury which
may at any timo hi its near future
be precipitated on tho people. The proposition
is too plain to need argument, and there is not
n business man In tho country who will not
appreciate the correctness and force of tho
statement. The surplus revenue we now have
will not eontinuo foreVer, and the habits of
extravagant appropriations cannot bo changed

bor bills were taken from tho control of tho

A committee, consisting of Messrs. Randall,
Hewitt, of Now York, and Willis, of Kentucky,
was appointed to notify Mr. Carlisle of his nom
ination. When that gentleman appeared ho
was greeted with applause, in response to which
belaid:
Mr. Chairman'-and gentlemen of tho caucus: It
1*scarcely necessary for me to say how highly I ap
preciate the compliment' you have Just paid mo, or
ixow much 1 thank you for it. An uuanimous nom
ination for the office of speaker of the houso by so
large a body of representative democrats from all
parts of the country, is on honor which I do not
pretend to deserve on account of my services in tho
part, but which I shall earnestly endeavor to show
my appreciation of by the faithful performance of
official duties In the ftiture. The labor imposed on
the presiding officer of the house Is,as you all know,
very great, and the responsibilities sometimes al
most oppressive; but with the counsel and as-
iitancc pf -'judicious friends, I venture to
indntg*.. thcT hope that that labor may be
land the responsibility so met,
616 per annum. The appropriations for rivers
and harbors from 1876 to 1880, when this sub
ject was controlled by tho committee on appro
priations averaged $7,390,928 pei^annum. From
1881 to 1885, inclusive, during which commit
tees on commerce and rivers and harbors havo
had subject in hand, annual appropriations
have averaged $13,571,243. If this enormous
increase of expenditure characterizes the first
experiment of the withdrawal of theso two
subjects from the protecting safeguards here
tofore enforced under the existing rules and
generally since the foundation of the govern
ment, who can tell the devastation of public
finances when the treasury doors are thrown
wide open to unrestricted and unrestrained
machinations and combinations of every
character. Such a combination might even
enter congress itself and the general govern
ment would then become a hot bed to start into
existence a very dangerous policy,
