Pound for the Speakership of the
House of Representatives, at Wash
ington, has met with a good many
hearty responses, in the State press,
and elsewhere.
The Fargo argus says:
While it is admitted that Hiscock,
Of New York, is practically ont of the
race for Speaker, and that to-day Kas-
son, OF Iowa, has the lead, there is an
element in the country that would like
to see some sound western man, like
Thad g. Pound, long time Member
of Congress from Wisconsin, occupy
the position. Wisconsin has many
great men, but there are few more
widely and favorably known than Mr..
Pound.
The Eau Claire Daily Free Press
says The Chippewa Herald, observ-
ing mention of the name of Hon. Thad
G. Pound for speaker OF the next
house of representatives, urges his Sc
lection for that office with much force
As a presiding officer, Mr.. Pound has
no superior in Wisconsin, and the
house representatives may easily GO
farther and fare worse. in the choice
of speaker"
