Death of Hon. Samuel j. Randall
at Washington.
The End Camo Peacefully After an Illness
of Nearly Two Years-surrounded
by His wife, Daughters and
Son, the Distinguished Po-
litical Leader Passes
Away,

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Congressman
Samuel j. Randall died at ten minutes
past five o'clock Sunday morning, of
internal cancer, after long and pain
full illness. He was surrounded by his
family-his wife and his daughters, Mrs.
Lancaster and Susie Randall, and his
son Samuel-in his last moments. Mr..
Randall came to Washington early in
last November a sick man, but with
hopes of improvement. He expected to
be able to take his seat in the House
when Congress met in December. But
when Congress convened he was unable
to leave his home. subsequently the
oath of office as Representative was
administered at his residence by Speaker
Reed, and Mr.. Randall was made a
member of the Committees on Rules and
Appropriations-the two important COM
mittees he had served on for so many
years. Mr.. Randall then hoped to be
able to take his seat and participate
actively in the affairs of the House at
the conclusion of the holiday recess,
but the fatal malady from which he
suffered slowly but surely made inroads
on his strength and each month as it
passed found him weaker.

Mr.. Carlisle, his associate on the Com
mittee on Rules, Democratic members
of the Appropriations Committee and
other Democratic Representatives called
frequently at Mr.. Randall's home to
consult him about party matters and
committee work. Some of them who
dali was slowly failing physically, al
though mentally he was as accurate and
vigorous as ever, and for the past two
months they felt that he would never
lerve his house alive. During the last
few weeks of his life he suffered very
much at times and he became greatly
emaciated. His devoted wife and chill
dren were untiring in their attentions
all through his sickness and his friends
in Congress land he had a host of them
of both political faiths) contributed
much toward his comfort by frequent
friendly visits. During his last hours
his wife and family were constantly at
his bedside. Mr.. Randall was unconsci-
Gus at times during the last day or two
of his life and was speechless toward
the end. To Mrs. Randall he smiled
last fond look of recognition halfhour
before mis- death.
Samuel Jackson Randall was born in
Philadelphia on October 10, 1928. He
came into public life at very early age
as Democrat and has never since been
retired, even temporarily. He served
four years in the common councils of his
native city and one term, 1859, in the
Pennsylvania Legislature as a State
Senator. Mr.. Randall was first elected
to Congress in 1862. He commenced his
Congressional life in December, 1868, in
the Thirty-eighth Congress lin which
Hon. James G. Blaine served his first
term), only two years after his old
friend but political opponent of thirty
years. standing-the late William ID.
Kelley-had commenced career in
Congress that lasted nearly thirty years.
Mr. Randall was returned at every sue
ceeding election and at the time of his
death had served twenty-six years in
Congress, or through thirteen Congress-
es. He was elected for a fourteenth
term, but though he took the oath and
qualified as member he was not able,
because of failing health, to take his
seat in the present Congress.
Mr.. Randall was candidate for
Speaker of the Forty-fourth Congress in
1875, but was defeated by Hon. Michael
c. Kerr, by whom he was appointed
chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations. At the second session of the
same Congress, Mr.. Randall was chosen
for Speaker-Mr. Kerr having died dur
ing the recess. Mr.. Randall was re-
elected Speaker in the Forty-fifth Con-
gress by the Democrats in 1877.
BY reason of long service and close
attention to his duties, Mr.. Randall be-
came the most expert parliamentarian
on the Democratic side of the House.
In familiarity with the rules and all
branches of parliamentary law he per-
haps had no superior in either party,
and as far back as 1875, when the great
contest over the Force bill took place at
the close of the Forty-third Congress,
Mr.. Randall was. by common consent
assigned the leadership Of the Demo-
cratic minority.
