the few Democrats who voted for the
measure.
In December, 1876, Samuel J. 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 '
