The list of members of the general
assembly leaves little room for doubt
that the honor of speakership will
fall to Major Josiah Grout of Derby.
Major Grout was prominently named
for the speakership two years ago !;
and had many friends for the place.
He has repeatedly occupied the chair ;
is an excellent presiding officer and
in experience in legislation has per-
haps no superior in the House, with
the exception of Judge Poland, who
has not heretofore been willing to as
sumo the labors and cares of the
speakership, and probably would be
even less willing to do so, now. We
think it not unlikely that the speak
ership will be conceded to Mr.. Grout
by general consent.-Free Press.
