House Of l8epra.>e - tsl ives Former
lDOrtr:acacsl Elections Of Speaker.

The unsuccessful attempt to elect a
Speaker TO the House. and the consequent
delay in its organization are not without
precedent
The Second Session Of the 10th Con.
gress met on the 18th Nov. 1890; Mr.
Clay having resigned the Office Of Speaker.
Three days were spent i'm ballotings, and
on the 22d ballot John W. Taylor was
elected.
Again. at the first Session Of the 9Th
Congress, Dec. Sd 1891. a Speaker was
elected Oh the l2th ballot on the second
day.
Again. during the first Session Of the
32d Congress. MIR. Bell was elected Spea.
ker on the 10Th ballot, in place Of Mr..
Stevenson resigned.
Again, the commencement of the 26ih
Congress. was distinguished for scenes Of
protracted excitement and disorganiZa-
ton. This Session commenced Dec Cd,
1639-on the 2lst December a Speaker
was elected, by rira roce vote, being
the first Speaker chosen in that mode.
The Presidents message was not trans
mitted 10 both Houses till Dec. 2Ith-be-
ing 22 days from the opening Of the ses.
sion.
Thus the present contest in the cleo
ton Of Speaker and delay in organization
are not without precedents.-Cin. Gaz.

ing. if Mr. Brown Gas Speaker) will or
eanize the Committee on the District OF
Columbia in a certain way! Mr.. Brown
replies. in short. that he will make the
Committee satisfactory to Uifmot and
his friends. He assented to his part OF
the bargain at once, and without blush.
In this transaction. Mr.. Wilmot was in
no way to blame lie had right to know
who he voted for. and what his principles
are in relation to any public question:
So too, if Mr.. Brown is actually the
Speaker elected, he has right to appoint
the Committees as he pieases. and if he
appoints them according to Mr.. Wilmot's
views no one can complain. But what
does Mr. Brown! lie entertains a pri-
vate proposition from half dozen men,
bers, land in adrDnce agrees to their terms
knoming that they are the condition Of
the rotes of these men. This is the es-
. sence Of political bargain. The House
felt il so. The exposure destroyed the
intrigue and Brown withdrew from the
contest!
| Now, what was the condition of the
Wing candidate, in reference to this very
thingl Mr. Winthrop was sounded as
to this very thing He refused to bar
gain; and because he did refuse, he was
deserted and opposed by such men as
Giddings! Very well. Mr.. Winthrop is
right. and let all honorable men uphold
that Moral Integrity, which at the expense
Of power, or office;-even of all the ha-
bilaments Of Public Life. refused to traffic
and barter, in public employment, for Pfi-
