Mr.. Randall's attitude on the tariff
question goSds the free traders. They
think him little II any better than Re-
publican, and some Of them would be glad
to see him take his place where they
think he belongs. The Louisville Courier.
Journal gives him this rap:
Mr.. Randall's district has Democratic
majority, but 1t ia a district which was
patched up for him in the most remark
able manner in order To give him that
majority.
a Republican Legislature gerryman-
dered the district especially for Mr.. Ram
dali, taking q corner OF this ward and
slice Of that and putting them together so
as TO make q Democratic district out Of
detached sections Of quarter Of the city
overwhelmingly Republican in itself.
The result is district In shape and con-
stituency the most remarkable known to
the art OF gerrynandering, the famous
Shoe.strlng district Of Mississippi not ex-
copied.
And this unique bit Of work was done
for Mr.. Randall not by Democratic but
by Republican Legislature. And every
Republican Legislature since, 40 often as
the State has been re.districted, has care
fully RETAINED from touching Mr.. Randalls
district, as easy as II would be to give 1t to
q Republican. 1thas not been two years
since the last gerrymander wac made by
the Republicans, and the Republican Or
gans Of the State were insistent in their
demands that Mr.. Randall's district should
not be changed-demands which 1t is I'M
necessary 10 say were heartily complied
with.
This Is substantially what the INTELlI.
aENcEn said a day or two since when II
laid before Mr.. Randall some reasons why
he need not hesitate to come into the Re-
publican party. The fact that his district
was made and kept for him by Republic
cans was cited to show that he need have
no fear Of being badly treated. Republic
cans would do as well by him in their
party as out Of II, and II might even be
that they would do better. Mr. Randall
Is not making much headway in the Demo.
cratic party.
