others had come over he still held out |
and would not move. That was the
only thing on which they differed.
There is nothing good and great you
cannot say for me about Randall.
esteemed him highly, my feelings to-
wards him were of the kindest, and I
had great admiration and personal
tachment for him."
Speaker Reed sail: cit would be
useless to try to express in a few words
the sense of great loss which we all
feel in Mr.. Randall's death. My es-
TEEN for him was very great, and [
have always had and expressed the
highest admiration for his steadfast-
ness and courage. He was a good
friend, brave man, and statesman
beyond reproach."
Mr.. Carlisle, who was just returning
from visit to the Randall residence,
said: "My personal acquaintance with
Mr.. Randall began when l entered the
for y fifth Congress. in October, 1877.
Ever since then our relations have
been not only friendly, but quite init
mate. Although we differed widely
upon some important subjects. we
never allowed those differences t, in
terfere with our friendship. 1 have
always regarded him as an honest
man in public life, and he was I'M
doubtedly a man who had strong con-
victions and Thea courage to stand by
them. I think thats. his death is a
great loss to his party and to the
country, and that he deserves to be
remembered for great many impor-
tant public services.
At 10 o'clock tonight Mr.. Wanna
maker said that the funeral had been
! fixed for Thursday morning. The ar
engagements will be in charge of con.
gressional committee to be appointed
tomorrow morning. Mrs. Randall
prefers that the services shall be held
in the church of which Mr. Randall
was a member, and not in the House
| of Representatives. Nine or ten
o'clock will be the hour fixed for the
services. After the ceremonies the
fu"eral party will take a special train
over the Pennsylvania Railroad to
Philadelphia, where the int 'ment will
take place in the Re- ,dall family vault
in Laurel Hill Cemetery. Brief SER
{ vices will be held there. The train is
not expected to go into the city, but
will stop at the Ridge Avenue Church.
Sergeant-at- arms Holmes called
| and took charge of the remains for
the House of Representatives. They
were embalmed and placed in a casket
in the room in which Mr.. Randall
died. 1t is SAID that the dead man
presents life-like appearance, except
| that be is emaciated and wasted to
remarkable degree.

The Republicans of both Senate
and House have held caucus after
caucus within the last few days trying
to get together on the silver question.
Secretary Window has brought all
his powers of persuasion into action in
trying to have the caucus adopt his
silver bill, now before House COM
mittee, but so far nothing is agreed
upon. Between the anti-silver Re-
publicans and the free coinage Repub-
licans there is a wide chasm, which
will have to be bridged in some way
before anything like unity can exist
in the party on the subject. In the
meantime the most of the Democrats
hold themselves in readiness to vote
for free coinage, pure and simple, if
they can get an opportunity.

| Mr.. Randall's death was painless,
and be was unconscious during the
greater part of his last hours. There
were intervals when, from the intelli-
gent and steady gaze which he directed
at those about him, he must have been
conscious. Death came from exhaus.
ton. Around hic, were Mrs. Ran
dali, Miss Susan Randall, Mrs. Ian
caster, the married daughter, with her
husband, Samuel Randall, Jr., Robert
E. Randall, brother of the deceased,
DR. Mallan, Postmaster General Won
amaker and the household servants.

! Ex-Speaker Carlisle presented the
minority report of the Ways and
Means committee to the House. 1t
takes the Mckinley bill in detail and
shows the injustice Of that measure,
and goes into the strongest kind of ar
gument in favor of tariff reform, one
that will afford the country some real
relief instead of deluding, as the Nc
Kinley bill will do, those who know
no better, into expecting benefits that
will never come until the Democrats
are returned to power.
