cARLIsLE's SPEECH.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen OF
the Caucus: Your committee has Just
formally notified me of my unanimous
nomination for speaker of the house
of representatives of the Forty eighth
congress, and am here to thank you
very briefly and very earnestly for the
confidence reposed In me. Ifthis had
been mere personal contest between
me and either of the three distinguish
ed gentlemen whose names were men,
toned In connection with the nominal
ton, l should have had but little
hopes of success. They are
all gentlemen of great ability,
| long experience and undoubted integ-
rity, aud | assure them and their
friends that this contest closes as far
as am concerned without the slight
est change of the friendly or personal
relations which have heretofore ex-
listed between us. Gentlemen, / trust
YOU may never have reason to
regret the action of this evening,
aud when the labors of the
Forty-eighth congress are closed, you
will be able To congratulate yourselves
that no material interest of your party
or country has been injuriousl, af-
fected by my administration of the Of
flee for which you have nominated
me. In fact, may go u step further
and venture to express confident
hope that every substantial interest
will be advanced and promoted by the
united efforts of the presiding officer
and the Democratic majority on the
pl nj.
ry in great contests yet TO come, and
guarantee u ong line of Democratic
executions, with an honest and consti-
tutional administration of our public
affairs. But you have yet much labor
to perform and again thanking you
for what you have already done, /
shall say nomore.
