pleasure in presenting the name of Gen.
| q. W. Grandey, as a suitable person for
Speaker of this House, have served as
member of this body good many years
and under, | think, seven or eight presid-
ing officers, and can safely say that Mr..
Grandey, who was one of them, presided
| in a manner satisfactory to the House and
TO the people, with uniform courtesy and
fairness; with due despatch of business,
nearly always with accuracy. | think,
sir, that no member of this body will make
a better presiding officer.

~, | rise 10 second the nomination of Gen.
uco. ", Grandcy, for Speaker of this
I House. Il would be Of no avail for me TO
speak at length of Mr. Grandey's qualifi-
cations for the place. Having served for
ten years in this body, and for three years
As its Speaker, no one can doubt his quail
Itioatiuns and experience both as n legis-
ator and as a presiding officer. | believe,
sir, that ii We are fortunate enough TO
elect him, il will tend TO shorten the scs-
sion, and render it pleasant and profit
