Ran dall, who had been the competitor in the Democratic caucus of Mr. Kerr, of Indiana, but who was defeated by Mr. Kerr, was chosen speaker. He had represented the Phiadelphia district for thirteen years and had acquired a thorough knowledge of the rules and methods of the House. He is described by Mr. Biaine in his book as a strong partisan with many elements of leadership. "He is fair- minded toward his political opponents, generous to his friends, makes no com- Eromlses with enemies, never neglects is public duties and never forgets the interest of the Democratic party." He was re-elected speaker in Octo ber, 1877, receiving 149 votes over Jas A. Garfield, who received 132 votes. In March, 1879, Mr. Ra idall was re elected speaker of the Forty-fifth Con gress, receiving 143 votes to 125 votes for Garfield. In 18S0 ho was a leading candidate for the Presidency, but Gen. Hancock was nominated. Since his defeat for the speakership, in 1883 he has been chairman of the appropriations com mittee of the House. He was always an enemy to extravagant appropria tions. He had courage and. ability. He did not lack aggressiveness and fire. He was a practical man, full of strength and hard sense and was trust ed by his opponents. The South will ever cherlsn the memory of Samuel J. Randall. 1 1 ' The Baltimore Sun well says: '.'While in recent years Samuel J. Randall has been out of touch with his party on the great question of tariff, reform, the Demociacy of the entire country will mourn in his death the loss of a sturdy champion of the party, and of one of its trusted leaders, during the period just after the wart, whose indomitable pluck and uncompromising hostility to every form of corruption and extrava gance Kept tne party intact tnrougn maintainea lor Ing before the rious light of Thy presence.

Samuel J. Randall, who died yes terday morning in this city in his own house at 5 o'clock. This announcement is exceedingly painful to me. He ! and I have been intimate, familiar friends. He started in life at twenty-one years ,of age a full man in every respect, in tellectually ana politically, and as one who had an element of supreme leader ship which in his later years was com plete in tho estimation of his State and country.
