Mr. Randall was elected a member of the city council of Philadelphia, which position he held for four years, familiarizing himself with city polities and making for himself ac- quaintances and a record which were after- wards destined to push forward his political fortunes. In 155 he was elected to the Penne sylvania state senate, of which he soon became the most conspicuous member, When the civil war broke out he took strong grounds in favor of the maintenance of the union and while he differed with the admin istration on many points of method, he was one of the most steadfast supporters of an undivided country to the end. He was al that time a member of the First troop, Phila- delphia city cavalry, and volunteered, with his command, under President Lineoin's call for troops and served the ninety days, Elected to Congres. In 1852 he was elected to congress from the Third Penneyivania district and has been re. ecocted to each succeeding session, serving continuously since that time. In 1805, wher the Democrats gained control of the house for the first time since 1861, his friends tried hard to have him selected speaker, knowing that he possessed the qualities to essentially fit him for that position. The party caucus, how. ever, decided against him and in favor of Michael Kerr, of Indiana, Then came wint was probably the most delicate and trying period of Mr. Randall's political career. In 1578 he was elected speaker at a time when the dispute about the Tilden Hayes presidential election excited congress to a condition bordering on fury and almost brought the country to the verge of another oivil war, Suspicion was so keen that ordinary pariinisentary courtesy to a political opponent was the cause of severe party criticism, and for the last month of the session the speaker had to exert all his abil ity and strain 10 the utmost his influence with his party to steer the ship of state safely. Through that exciting ordeal he passed with pronounced sucoess, expediting in a marked degree the settlement of the vexed question which agitated the country. While he conld filibuster when necessary to defeat a bill he considered very bad, he was quite as able to choke off obstruction when the country was in peril from it © was re-clected speaker for the two fol lowing terms, serving in that position until March 3, 1881, when the Republicans took the house for a term.
