ceived Sherwood's resignation, and nominated G. M
Depew for Speaker There was, however, great effort
made and determination manifested in the caucus

sisted that he should have fair trial. Matters rested In

movements, even a. an carly hour to-day, without
seeing that the crisis this contest had arrived
was understood among the leading members of tho caucu
that If Depew could nss to-day Mr. Cacott should
be their nominee saturday, but the events this morn
nQ before the Assembly convened changed even that
programme. A large number Of the republican
managers commenced calling on Mr. Depew At
an early hour this morning, insisting that he
should decline the nomination. stating, at the same time
that he could not be elected and that by another day
they feared that the democrats would succeed in forming
such combinations that they could not elect Calcott
They thought that Csco would have to be elected TO-
day or not at ALL Under this pressure, kept up on Mr.
Depew for three hours, he finally consented 70 resign.
As soon as the House called TO order Mr.. Sherwood
stated that he withdrawn from the contest and that
another candidate has been nominated In his place.
Mr. Depcw then stated that he had been
nominated in the place OF Nr. Sherwood, and
although he had been unanimously nominated he would
not let any personal feelings ambition stand in the
way OF public necessity for the organization Of the
nation and would nominate Mr.. Calicott
