Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1885-11-15

hanuall Oh the power ne mas SO long
welded as chairman of that committee.
1t is to be nip-and-tuck fight between
Randall's forces, who will follow their
leader, and the tariff retormers. This
fact will appear when vote is reached
On the proposed change in the rules.
Those wko oppose tariff revision will
stand by the rules as they are, while
those who favor reform in the tariff will
advocate the change, and under the lead
ership of Mr.. Morrison will make a stub
born fight. Mr.. Randall gave due notice
early in the recess that he would not be q
candidate for the Speakership, but in re-
linquishipg his claim he intended to be
retained as head Of the Appropriation
Committee. The old Morrison Randall
feud will be resumed. The Democratic
party, as usual, will not be without
a factional strife. An attempt TO
help Mr.. Randall out of his place on the
Appropriation Committee would precipi-
tste even more bitter fight than an effort
to divide the powers of that committee.
Those who are opposed to his methods
and ideas, however, will endeavor to re-
strict his power and to this end will cripple
him. 1t is question, however, whether
such course would be expedient, and it
is equally doubtful if the alteration could
be carried through the House with the Re-
publicans on Mr.. Rsndall's side. There is
blood On the moon" even at this distance
from the Congressional horizon, and inter
esting times may be expected soon after
Congress assemblies.
One of the bright lights in the new Con-
gress will be Judge Timothy J. Campbell
of New \ York, who succeeds to the seat OF
s. S. Cox. OF course it is not to be ex-
as satisfactorily as did Mr.. Cox. There is
but one Cox. We all miss him. Still,
Tim Campbell, as he is fami iarly called in
New York, is jovial, good fellow, who
can mase you laugh with good story,
and, being Hibernian, is chock full of
Irish humor. He is, perhaps, forty-five
years old, and is counted shrewd politi-
clan. He belonged to the Tammany wing
of the New York Democracy, but during
an eventful local fight strayed from its
folds, and has only recently reached shell
ter under its protecting wing. He came
back in time to get its support for the
nomination in the Sixth District, but did
not receive the Endorsement Cox obtained
last fall, $4,000 majority. Campbell's fig
ures were but 500, so it clearly shows that
what was once an overH helmingly solid
Democratic district in the heart of New
York has now become q doubtful factor in
the election, and few straws would turn
it over to the Republicans. But the coun-
try will hear of 'Tim" Campbell. He has
not come here as an ornament. He is a
born organizer and worker, and it is safe
to say his district could not have chosen g
better man TO promote its interests.
Mr.. James A. Bayard, who has Just been
appointed Secretary of STATE for Arizona,
is Secretary Bayard's eldest son. He is
about twenty-seven years old, and for the
last five years has been teaching school at
Fort Pendieton, Md, about twelve miles
from Oakland, the popular resort On the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. He was
formerly associated with the West Vir-
ginis railroad enterprises OF ex-Senators
Davis, Window and Blaine as a civil en-
gfneer. His tastes not running in this di-
Tection, this pursuit was abandoned and
he accepted the tender of a small school,
where he taught young ideas how to shoot.
1t is also said that our young Secretary
extended his instruction in other direc-
tions and taught one of the gsntler schol-
aIs the lesson of love, and that the end Of
tue chapter is not far off. The name of
the lady is said to be Miss Deakens. Mr..
Bayard leaves for his post of duty next
Wsek,
Secretary Lamar is a man of most gen.
erous impulses. The other day q man
called upon him who was in the last
stages Of poverty, to which he had brought
himself by drink. He recalled to the
Seeretsry's mind the occurrences of many
years ago when they were boys together,
| those better days when the world seemed
bright and the future held out 80 much of
hope and promise to the friend who was
now seeking aid from his old playmate.
| Mr.. Lamar listened to his story of suffer
ing and his family's starvation, but had
little hope that his future promises would
be kept, as he had failed SO often in the
past. He finally decided to try him, and
appointed him to a place in the Indian
service in the far West, and also gave his
wife something to do in the same town.
| Later edvices state that the confidence
was not misplaced, and that Secretary
Lamar's kindness was the means of saving
fellow being from dishonored grave.
