Timothy J. Campbell

Timothy John Campbell (1840–1904), of New York City, born in County Cavan, Ireland, was a U.S. Representative from New York from 1885 to 1889 and 1891 to 1895. He was a Democrat.

Campbell earned a touch of immortality of an attributed nature. He is reported to have said to President Grover Cleveland, upon Cleveland's saying he would not support a bill on the grounds that the bill was unconstitutional, "What's the Constitution between friends?" (Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 16th ed.)
