The Death Scene.
Mr. Randall's death had been expected
at any time during the past three days,
and his family and friends knew that he
could not last much longer. The physi
cians had informed tne family that death
might come almost at any hour, and
last night they told Mrs. Randall that
btrf eudu ranee could not prolong his life
through another day.
Friday night had been a bad oue for
the sick man, and he had several sink-
lug spells from which he rallied to the
astonishment of his physicians. These,
however, left him weaker, and
when morning came it was evi
dent that his extraordinary vital
ity had almost left him. He
rested easily and comfortably during the
fore part of the day and the doctor was
enc juraged to hope that he might live
several days yet. He took some nour
ishment and dozed off without any diffi
culty. Shortly after three o'clock, how
ever, a marked change was noticed in
his appearance, and he seemed almost
to sink away. This spell was worse
than any of the proceeding ones, and it
was thought that the end was at hand.
There wp little or no change up to
midnight, except that ho was steadily
arowiug weaker, loung Sammy Ran

Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, said :
"I rise to announce the death of my
colleague, the Hon. Samuel J. Randall,
who died yesterday morning in this city,
in his own house, at five o'clock. This
announcement is exceedingly painful to
me. He and 1 have been intimate, fa
miliar friends. . He started in life at
twenty-one years of age, a full man in
every respect, intellectually and politi
cally, and as one who had the element of
supreme leadership, which, in his later
years, was complete in the estimation of
his State and the country. About three
months ago it came to my lot to an

Washington, April 14. A largely at
tended meeting of friends of the late
Samuel J. Randall was held at the Ar-
ington Hotel this morning to take ap
propriate action on his, death. The spa
cious parlors were crowded with people
from all sections of the country, repre
senting all walks of life.
The venerable ex-Governor Curtin, of
Pennsylvania, was selected as chairman
of the meeting, and J. V. Craft, of
Pennsylvania, and R.- W. Rhodes, of
New York, acted as secretaries. Gov
ernor Curtin, a lifelone friend, of Mn
Randall, made a most feeling address on
calling tne assemblage to order, ana , "Win e0 Republican in

but was hastily summoned, about three
o'clock in the morning, when the! doctor
informed the family that Mr. Randall
could not live through the night. He
was in a state of semi-unconsciousness
mo4t of the time.
Mr. Randall's death was painless, and
he was uncoscious during the greater
part of his last hours. There were in
tervals when, from the intelligent and
steady gaze which be directed at those
about him, he must have been conscious.
Death came from exhaustion. Around

death of this dear colleague. On
first Monday in December, 1863,
stood before the Speaker's desk and were
sworn into office as members of the
thirty-eighth Congress. Politically we
have differed, but personally there has
been a depth of friendship in all these
years which I cannot to-day express to
this House. We have lost a distin
guished man. To-day the city of Phila
delphia grieves over his death as it has
seldom been called to grieve over the
death of a public man, and the whole

The shock was especially severe to f. " 8rtU , 3.
Mrs. Randall and her daughter Susan,
who, rejecting all oilers of assistance,
have nursed the husband and father
through his illness of almost two years'
duration. Their grief was touching in
the extreme, and tho gentlemen pres
ent allowed them to indulge it alone for
aome minutes. Postmaster General
Wanamaker came out of the house a few
minutes after five and announced in an
almost choking voice that all was over,
lie and the others then endeavored to
comfort the afflicted family, and at
length succeeded in inducing them to
retire and try to refresh themselves
with sleep.
Mr. Randall's Illness.
Mr. Randall's illness dates back about
five years, when Dr. Thomas F. Mallan,
who has attended him throughout his
later illness, was called in to treat him
for the gout, July 9, almost two years
Mgo. Mr. Randall was suddenly seized
with a violent diarrhoea and hemor
rhage during the night, due to hastily
eating a dish of ice-cream and berries
during the day. 'This hemorrhage was
m severe a to completely prostrate
him, and his life was in imminent dan
ger. Dr. Milian says that for
sometime previous to this Mr.
Rand ill had been troubled with what he
supposed were hemorrahoids. The diar
rheal attack caused the disease to as
iuiue an active form, and it was found
that he was suffering from an extensive
and malignant absces. This caused
serious hemarrhages, which greatly de
pleted his system and left him weak and
emaciated. He put himself permanent
ly under the physician's care and Dr.
Mallan has attended him constantly
while ho was in the city, Dr. N. S.
Lincoln, a physician of great repute in
this city, being called into consultation
occasionally.
The Funeral.
The funeral has been set for Thursday
at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Randall prefers
that it shall be held in the church of
which Mr. Randall was a member, and
true of
sadnes
was expressed there at his own home. I
cannot say more to-day, but a few weeks
from this we will have an opportunity to
pass eulogies upon his life."
Mr. O'Neill then offered the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the House has heard
with deep regret and profound sorrow of
the death of the Hon. Samuel J. Ran
dall, late a representative from the State
of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That a committee of mem
bers of the House with such members of
the Senate as may be joined, be appoint
ed to attend the funeral of the deceased.
Resolved, That the House do now
adjourn.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted, and the Speaker appointed the
following committee:
Messrs O'Neill, Carlisle, Harmer, Uol-
man, Cannon, Forney, McKinley,
Springer and Reilly.
The House then adjourned.
Mr. Kandall V Colleague,
Niobe, Are All Tears."
Washington, April 14. Hon. Roger
Q. Mills spoke feelingly of the death of
his late colleage. "He was a very great
man," said he, "a man of unimpeach
able integrity and a natural born leader
of men. He had more of the elements
of leadership than any man I have come
in contact with since I have been iQ
public life. Nothing but his views on
the tariff could have prevented him
from being the leader in the democratic
party, if it had not been for that he
would have been nominated fos Presi
dent in 1876, and," said Mr. Mills, with
emphasis, "he would have been elected
and seated, for he would have asserted
his rights. But when he believed
bis opinions were right he
would never change them, no
matter what might happen. 1 never
j f-aw such remarkable determination;
! wheu he set his lips and brought dewu
that great jaw of his, nothing could
chauue him. Whv.'when our tariff bill
was up 1 pleaded with him, urged and
beggvd him, to make some concessions
and eraprornise, but he believed he was
right Hui could not be moved. Wheu
all his party, except Sowden and one or
two others, had come over, he still held
out, and would not move. That was the
only thing on which we differed. There
is nothing good and great -you cannot
say for me about Randall. I esteemed
him highly, my feelings towards him
were of tho kindest, and I had great
admiration and personal attachment for
him."
Speaker Reed's Estimate.
Speaker Reed said: "It would be use
less to try to express in a few words the
sense of great loss which we all fed in
Mr. Randall's death. My esteem for him
was very great, and I have always had
and expressed the highest admiraiition
for his steadfastness and courage. He
was a good friend, a brave man, and a
statesman above reproach."
Mr. Carlisle's Tribute.
Mr. Carlisle who was just returning
from a visit to the Randall residence,
said: "My personal acquaintance with
Mr. Randall began wheu I entered the
Forty-fifth Congress, in October, 1877.
Ever siuee theu our relations have been
not only friendly, but quite intimate.
Although we differed widely upon some
very important subjects, we never al
lowed those differences to interfere with
our friendship. I have always regarded
him as an honest man ui public life, and
he was undoubtedly a man who had

New York, April 14. The Sun's
Washington special says: President Har
rison has formally announced that he
vfill ba a candidate for re-nomination in
1892. His spokesman is Hon. J. N. Hus
ton, treasurer of the United States and
chairman of the republican state central
committee of Indiana.
Mr.' Huston declares that Indiana

will go for Ben Harrison." -This an
nouncement is taken to be very signifi
cant and official in all respects.
Is It Significant?
This report is in harmony with the
well-defined policy of Harrison, at any
rate so far as that policy regards Ihe
South, says the Atlanta Journal. One
of the blunders or mistakes charged to
his administration has been his open
catering to the negro element in the
South, with the view of strengthening his
forces in this part of the country, even
if he wiped out all hope of ever building
up a republican party in the South.
He Wants the Delegates.
He has been undoubtedly so distrib
uting Federal patronage in the South,
with an eye to giving his adherents con
trol, with the purpose, and alleged
agreement, that Harrison delegates be
sent to the next republican nominating
convention. He has further solidified
the South; made it thoroughly demo
cratic in elections, but also solid for Har
rison iu the matter ot sending delegates
to the next republican national convention.

THE SITUATION.

Washington, D. C., April 12. Hon
B. H. Bunn, the member from the 4th
District, is rapidly gaining the confi
dence and esteem of the wisest of his
colleagues and "learning the ropes"
here. Experience is one of the main
requisites of a Congressman, and when
North Carolina sends a man here of Mr.
Bunu's ability, his constituents owe it to
themselves and to him to send him here
a sufficient number of terms to get the
required experience. Speaking of Con
gressional life, and other matters ger
mane to that subject, Mr. Bunn said to
your correspondent :
There are many things connected with
it that are pleasant. We meet the rep
resentative men trom all over the Uni
ted States, and form the closest ties of
friendship, which will in after years, be
among the happy memories of the past;
uul snuaieu as we are now, it is most
trying. Under our code of rules, we
have no individual rights. The auto
crat, who occupies the chair, will recog.
nize no one unless he know3 what he
wants, and if he is not sure, he will
ask: "What does the gentleman rise for?"
And upon his response depends hi3 right
to proceed. If it be some matter, to
which the speaker is opposed, he is
passed by, and some one else recognized,
and our rights are absolutely trampled
under foot. The individual representa
tive has left him only the
right to vote. Even the poor
privilege of refusiug to take part in leg
islation to which ha is opposed, is for
ine nrst rime m tne history or congres
sional legislation denied "him. This is
humiliation - which I do not care to
stand but I have no remedy.
The Humiliation ot the South.
Again, my constituents will expect
more from me than I can secure for
they do not realize as I do, that the es
pecial mission of the present adminis
tration from the President down, is the
humiliation of the South. It is their
purpose to force us to bend the pliant
knee at their dictation."
No Tarill Reduction.
What are the prospects of tariff re
ductions ?
I need not repeat 'in detail what has
been so often and w ell said about the
fiftieth Congress, that "it will set
tle the. vexed question of how shall we
dispose of the surplus" They w ill vote
the treasury dry by vast appropriations.
The McKinley tariff bill jis crawn with
much tsffy, and absolutely no relief to
our section. I stand ; quirely on the dem
ocratic platform ana believe that we
should levy a tariff for revenue only,
with incidental protectection; and wheu
this bill comes before the House I shall
do everything in my power to amend it,
so as to relieve my r e ple as far as possi
ble, but I cannot flatter them with the
hope of success. I may say therefore that,
hundred ignorant negroes, who can
neither read or write, that the States are
not capable or honest enough t hold
election for members of Congress, and
that by the machinery thisCongroes will
"put in operation, all elections will be reg
ulated here in Washington ; your Gov
ernor deprived of the privilege of giving
certificates of election to members, anil
this duty assigned to a returning board
created by Conaress. That it will na 1
have no doubt. And unless some unfore
seen circumstance occurs, our next elec
tion will be held by ioll holders appoint
ed in Washington City, and all Repuh
licaxs. We will have no voice iu th;
appointment of poll holders, and will lx
allowed no'suggestion as to their fitness.
The purpose of this act is not to have a
free election and a fair count, for this i
assured by the Federal supervisions now ;
but it is for the purpose of controlling the
next Congress by fraudulent certificates
if necessary.

Our eyes have long earnestly desired
to see the day when the chief sea-port
of the State should have many fines of
railroad leading out from it throughout
the State, and when Wilmington should
be the shippiug point forali North Caro
lina. The completion of the Cape Fear
& Yadkin Valley Railroad to Wilming
ton is an event of such importance to the
whole State that its value cannot now
be estimated. It gives Wilmington two
direct lines to the North aud enables its
wholesale merchants to supply the mer
chants through the entire width of the
State a territory which they have
not heretofore been able to icach.
It is meet that the completion of this
great railroad, projected and owned by
North Carolinians, should be celebrated
in such a manner as to signalize it a.s a
great and notable event. Wednesday
and Thursday of th is week hac Ixvu
set apart for the celebration, and the
people of Wilmington have arranged for
it on a grand scale. Every preparation
has been made, and the guests invited.
One of the chief objects of tho
celebration is to bring together the
business men of Wilmington, aud
all points aloug the line of the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley railroad.
To that end invitations have been issued
and upwards of eight hundred of the
good people along the liue of that road
have accepted the invitation of the Wil
mington people and will be thoir-guests
on Wednesday and Thursday.-
iiio visitors are expected to arrive on
Tuesday evening, and will be greeted by
a salute of guns from the revenue
steamer Colfax. On Wednesday tho
party will be taken to Carolina Beach

On Thursday the visitors will be taken
