Hon. John L. Gibbs, of F.eeboru County
sitter vigorous contest against Hon. A.
II. Hall, one Of the best and most popular
mes Of the State, vas elected Speaker oil
The House Of Representatives, upon Its
osIauizssion las. Tuesday. Although a
graduate ofthe Law Department of Nichi
gan University, and possessed Of &C.
knowlcdgcd legal ability, Mr.. Gibbs
preferred the profession ofagr,culture and
became . tilier of the soil, and is now re.
garded ~ ono Of the best farmers in
Southern Miunesota. He has served, VIC
think, five terms in the Legislature before
the present, and always with marked
efficiency. He has always been leading
man in his own county, and although un.
popular with few who may have re-.
karded him - in their wav. he is very
ssrosg With the people. In his canvass
los the Speskership he was not materially
aided by those Of his fellow citizens who
have influence with public men. We are
oos sware s1at the STANDARD alluded to
HIN In connection with the Speakership,
but We believe the ESrERpRlsE mentioned
bis candidacy, NEARLY as matter Of ncws.
The fact that several candidates for other
positions went from that county would in.
dicste that It was not the intention Of the
leaders 10 give Mr.. Gibbs q very hearty
support, and We have no doubt that they
re somewhat disappointed At the result.
OF c"urse they arc grateful for the honor
which has been conferred upon them, and
win duly appreciate il, but they cannot
help thinking that the fruit which they
eejov was p!ucked from trees that they
nsither planted nor cultivated. In point

House 10 next to that Of Governor Of the

MY justiy Be proud that one Of their own
sumbes has achieved such signal dis
tiaetion. None doubt that he will be
tally able to meet any responsibility which
bio important position may devolvs upon

prevalent on this coast at this season
of the year, and talks strongly of
emigrating to Arizona or the Black

an advocate. We fear however, that
nothing save the nuptial knot will
prevent his departure. and our only
hope of keeping him in Humboldt lies
in his being captured by one of the
