WASHINGTON, Dec. l5-The pro-
posed visit Of Sam Randall to Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Alabama Is well
understood here TO be n declaration of
war by protectionists upon the rev.
enue refOrmers OF the states i'm ques-
ton. Joe Brown of Georgia is the
southern manager OF this scheme
MIR. Randalls hope Is TO secure some
thing like a demonstration vt Louis
willie, which the protection newspapers
can claim as rebuke Of Beck, Black
burn, Carlisle and Willis, and another
at Nashville TO rebuke Isham q Har-
ris, and then great uprising Of iron
workers at Birmingham to tell
the world that there Is TevO-
luton of opinion on the tariff in the
South and consuming fire for the
| Pennsylvania idea. Mr. Randall Ia
expected 70 start out with the black
dag in both hands His friends say
he has nothing to lose, and may make
something by his expedition, which
! they hope to make a sensation.
Said q Democratic congressman to-
| night, "If Sam RandAlls hide were
not as thick a. rhinoceros, he would
be ashamed to show himself in public
after being showed under to the tune
of so 1000 in Pennsylvania. II is
well known that he keeps his seat in
congress by the sufleTance Of the
Republicans, who can make
better use of him as 8
disturbing element than they could
make out of straight Republican.
But / suppose be must do something
to keep himself before the public. H'
has no more chance of going int
a 40. . lasF
But he thinks he can make raiC
upon Carlislels territory and beat Car
Isle for speaker next congress.
Mr.. Beck and Mr. Carlisle smile a
this and express the opinion that Mr.
Randall has the right Of other penpl'
TO go where he pleases aud say VIVA
he likes. They do not believe hat tn
people of kentucky will be fooled int
an appearance of rebukinR them b!
any spurious notions of hospitality
Gov lsham g. Harris is equally In
, different.
The general impression among poll
ticians here is that MIR. Randall ha
r lowered himself aud shown his tru
colOrs In putting himself in the hand
of few crauks and sOreheads VIII
want 10 use MIN as stick to beat hi
colleagues, whose only crime Is tina
they ore honest revenue reformeT'
who represent their people aud woul
reduce war taxes The idea of a
ovation 10 q man who six months az
was acting with the Republicans to d,
feat Democratic measure, is secuted
Mr. Randall is not on speaking term
with half the leaders OF his own party
though on cordial terms with the RI
e publicans. The story that he Is a {.
Il VoIite with the new president Is iiatl
contradic,ed by those who know
. is even stated that the mention OF Raj
: dallis name in connection with ia
b cabinet is offensive 10 Mr.. CLEVELAND
=. who understands and believes that an
7 suspicion Of being Raudall's frien
would wreck his administration on III
> threshold
e N Still there are few subsidized pr
e lection newspapers To keep his nam
: in print, and he goes south to Civ
them an opportunity to extol him AS
;, great man and show what small me
! are Blackburn, Harris Beck, Morr
g son, Carlisle Albert $. Willis and oth'
g revenue reformers. "de Is TO have
g boom, ;, said a Southern senator to-da.
8 "because he betrayed his party an
e wants to boss IT," He starts he da
