tributes to Samuel J. Randall.

WASHINGTON, September 13.-In the SEN
ate. as soon as the journal of yesterday was
read, Mr.. Quay offered the usual resolutions
Of sorrow and coincidence in regard to the
death of Representative Randall, and pro-
ceeded to address the Senate. Although al
ways his political opponent, Mr. Quay said
he had come to cast the myrtle on his grave.
In the process of attritioD, Mr.. Randall has
always heen found to be the rock of offence
to the Republicans. Yet so true, so honest,
so courageous, so absolutely chivalrous had
he been, that there was not not one Republi-
can who, standing behind his coffin, had not
realized the thought,
"I'd give the lands of Dalaraine,
Dark Musgrave were alive again."
Mr.. Barbour eulogized Mr.. Randall. whose
integrity, he said, was spotless. whose firm
ness was as solid as the rock basis of the
Pennsylvania mountains, and whose abilities
and patriotism were always equal to the ext
gencies of the most important occasions.
Mr.. Plumb spoke of Mr.. Randall as having
been plain, unpretentious, kindly in bearing,
and consplcuously domestic in taste and in
clinatiOn, and richly qualified in every re-
spect to be, as hs was, the tribune of the
people.
Mr.. Daniel said that Mr.. Randall was for
union, for freedom, for peace; thatlhe was
| the model OF public servant, and that he
added honor and glory to the name of repre-
sentative of the people.
Mr.. Blackburn spoke of the stainless hon
esty of MIR: Randalrs career, saying that he

more than quarter of a century of public
service he was still poorer
Further eloquent tributes to the high char
| acter of Mr.. Randall and to his honorable
career in public and private life were paid
| by Senators Cullom, Morgan, Gibson and
| Hiscock, and then as further mark OF re-
| spect, the Senate, at p. M, adjourned till
| Monday at noon.

| The Speaker In Demand.
| WASHINGTON, September IA. - Since
| Speaker Reed returned to Washington with
/ wreath OF VlcLOry upon MS Dr0W,
| he has been besieged night and day with re-
| quests from Republican managers to make
| dates for speeches in their respective states
during the coming campaign North, SOUTH
east and west. they are all crying for Reed,
and few of the successful ones have already
advertised him as the big card for mass
meetings. The Speaker has quietly promised
men from two or three states that he will
give them speech or tive, and he has others
in reserve.
