when congress convened he was unable to
leave his home. Butisequently the oath of
offlco as u representative was administered
at his residence by Speaker Heed, and Mr.
Handall was made a member of the com
mittee on rules and appropriations the two
important committees he had served on for
so many years. Mr. Handall then hoped to
be able to take bis seat and participate ac
tively In the allairs of the bouse at tho con

and fatal mal- ly from which be suffered

his life Mr. Han- ms LAIK "01IE
iall suffered very much nt times and he had
become greatly emaciated. His devoted
wife nnd children were untiring In all their
attentions through his sickness, and his
friends in congress (and he had a host of
them of both political faiths) contributed
much toward his comfort by frequant
friendly visits.

During his last hours his wife and family
wore constantly at bis bedside. Mr. Han

that the services be held In the Metropolitan

was member, and not in the house of re
presentatives. After the funeral services
the funeral party will take a special train
over the Pennsylvania railroad to Phila

cemetery.
Tlie Story or Ills Life.
Bamuel Jackson Randall was born in
Philadelphia, Oct 10, 1S2S, and his career
through life justifies the assertion that he
was born a statesman. Ho received a good
loadeinlo education and pursued his studies
with the intention ot devoting his life to
mercantile pursuits. After he bad tlnished
his studies lie obtained a pordtlou in the
oountlug room of a mercantile establish
ment, but in a short time bis work became
Irksome and he conceived a dist iste for the
duties of u merchant. Ills father, the Into
Josiah Handall, was one ot the nctiva Dem
ocrats of Philadelphia, and he Inspired his
ion with a desire to enter political life,
which feeling increased in intensity ss he
attended conventions and meetings until hu
finally adopted It as the calling most suited
to his tasta. In 1830. accompanied by bis
father, he went to Cincinnati, and assisted
it the convention that nominated Buchanan
for president. Mr. Handall was elected u
member of the city council of Philadelphia,
which position be held for four years,
familiarizing himself with city politics, and
making for himself acquaintances aud
l reoord which were afterwards dlstlnod to
push forward his political fortunes. In 1S5S
be was elected to the Pennsylvania stato
lenate, of which he soon became tho most
sonspicuous member.
A Ilefemler of tile Union.
When the civil war broke out, he took
strong grounds in favor of tho maintenance
of the Union, and while he differed with tho
administration on many point of method, ho
was one of the moat steadfast supporters of
in uudlvided country to the end. He was
it that time a member of the First troop,
Philadelphia City cavalry, and volunteered
with his command uuder President Lincoln's
tall for troops and served the ninety days,
tn IStii be was elected to congress from the
Third Pennsylvania district and has been
re-elected to each succeeding session, serv
ing continuously since that time. In 1875,
when the Democrats gained control ot the
house for the drat time since ISfll his friends
tried hard to have him elected speaker,
mowing that hs possessed the qualities so
saentlully tit for tho position. The party
;oucus, however, decided against him nnd
n favor of Michael C. Kerr, of Indiana.
The Tlltlen-IIayea Controversy,
Then came what was probably tho most
iellcate and trying period of Mr. Randall's
political career. In 1870 ha was elected
rfK-akir at a time when tho dispute about
the Vlldeu-IIayes presidential election ex
sited congrsss to a condition bordering on
fury and almost brought the country to the
rerge of another olvil war. Busplcion was
to keen that ordinary parliamentary cour
tesy to a political opponent was the cause of
severe party criticism, aud for the last
mouth of the session the speaker had to ex.
ert all his ability and strain to the utmost
bis Influence with his party to steer the ship
of state safely. Through that exciting or
deal he passed with pronounced success, ex
pediting in a marked degree the settlement
of the exed quistlou which agitated th
country.
Ho was ro-olected speaker for the two
following tsruis, ijrvluj in that position
until March 3, ISol, whan tha Republicans
took tho liouso for u Unit. Wiion tho Dem
ocrats agalu obtained control of tliu house
the divisions in that party on tho revenue
lsaues led to his defeat for the rpi-akershlp
and to the election of John O, Carlisle, But
Mr, Handall alwuys retained tho command
ing position his talents hud v. on for him aud
grow In reputation. As ipjaker he was not
tender in the administration of blsohica,
lie was a commander aud ruled the house
with a heavy hand. Kroin the first Mr,
Randall was recognised In congress as a
power, and dually he became the recognised
leader of his party.
Ills Itlgli Tariff Attitude.

mmmu
man anil iiomtimtmg spirit when uls party
was In iwer. For tho past few years tho
stand Which M . Randall had assumed on
tho tariff qu.isiio.i gradually alienated him
from tho majority of his party, both stato
and nitlonals ait 1 although 110 man Im
peached hl (1 lollty or sincerity to tha prin
ciples of iliuiocracy, this separation from
his nsioclatjs had uudoubtedly greatly
welgbod upon his mind, nud added to the
other drains upon his physical system. In
appenrancj Mr. Randall was what might
be called a pjuullar mm. His countenance
was rather bjyUh, but singularly winning
and attractive. His feot and hands were
small nnd slnpjty, hit hi had a way of
drnwlng up his left shoulder that made one
of his arms nppoir longor than the other.
In walking ha stepped out briskly, with
shoulders a llttlo stooped, and a gait that
wasrntherslminbllng. Hut though his en
semblo ivai striking, his dress added to thi
oddity of his appoaranoe. For mora than
twenty-flvo years ho wore the saiuo style of
clothing, nud no ono over seemed to have
seen him In a new suit of clothes. A cut
away coat thrown loosely back, baggy
trousers a trllhj bunchy at the knees, nnd n
low cut vest, nil with a tlngo of ago about
them j Immaculate linen, broad comfortabla
shoes, uud a remarkable hat completed his
attlro.
He tiled n I'oor Jinn.
Mr. Randall was a poor man. lie was
twenty-eight years a member of tho hous.i
yet no one has ever b.en found to reflect
even in tho slightest degree upon his integ
rity or honesty. He was probably poorer
iupuraewuou be died than when became
to Washington away luck In tho Thirty
eighth congress. He owned the modost
residence in which he lived on Capitol hill.
It is situated on C street and Is not worth
more than tS.OJJ. The modest dwelling
represents tho savings of nearly half a lite
tlm?. Ho inula very little money outside
of his silary, and, indeed, had very little
tlmo to spire from his public duties.
I"roof Aj-ntnst tho Lobby's Temptations.
Tho stories gleaned from tho lobby as to
unsuccessful attempts upon bis virtue as a
legislator ure only unparalleled by the
storiis told by his friends as to the uuyleld
lng front which ho always presented to tho
petition of friendship when it ran counter to
his sen-,e of public duty. A lawyer who was
his bosom frioud tolls that he carried $10,
000 In his pockets for months, having under
taken to give It to Randall as a retainer in
behalf of a certain corporation, but could
never muater the courage to give it to him
or even broach tho subject. Ou one occa
sion a wealthy blanket manufacturer, know
ing that Randall was a Door man. and lmv.
lng a profound admiration for him, sent him
a check for 1500 Bay lug that as an obi friend
and coustltueut ho believed It his duty and
privilege to make this subscription to help
pay his election expenses. The check was
promptly returned with a letter so curt that
I it would havo mortally offended any ono
who did not make allowanco for Randall's
Infirmity of temper in this respect. When
asked once If he did not carry his independ
ence or Indifference i.i such matters to an
extreme, he replied! "No.thero Is no middle
, ground in sucb matters. I draw tho Hue at
tho beginning." His comparative poverty
ia a monument to uis sterling Integrity.
Mr. Raudill scorned a publio inun who
appoluted any of his own relatives to office.
Ills brother wanted a European consulship,
aud ho could have secured it for him, for be
was close to the administration at the time.
But Mr. Randall sturdily refused and did
the same thing with other relatives. At tho
same timo no man was moro loyal to his
friends than he.
Ills Itemarkable Reticence.
One of Mr. Randall's peculiarities was
his romarkable reticence ubout himself and
his affairs. About twolvo years ago, wben
bis name first began to be prominently men
tioned In connection with tho presidential
nomination of tho Democratic party, a well
kuown newspaper correspondent who
wanted to compile his biography was sur
prised to find no published data available.
Ho sought Mr. lUudall aud a.ked him for
some of tho details of his early life, tolling
him the purpose for which he deslro them.
Mr. Rundall told him, iu his blunt w ay,
