SPEAKER REED.

The action of the Republican caucus insures
to the next Congress the services Of Speaker
in whom is grouped a combination Of virtues pc
culary desirable, well in his own interest
as in that of the House. for the occupant Of
such an Office to possess. The Hon. Thomas b.
Reed is one Of the most good-natured men in or
out Of Congress. The popularity of his good
nature, as the Democratic side has often OBJ
served to its sorrow, is that he is most amiable
when he is maddest. Only, indeed, when he
gets into towering passion does the sweetness
Of his temper show to its best advantage.
Moreover, he is man of firmneSs Mentally
he possesses a great power of comprehension.
He always understands perfectly and instantly.
He understands himself too, a. well as every
body else and he possesses the physical force to
back his intellectual faculty of appreciation.
lie is more than six feet in height and he weighs
as much as he ought. Thus equipped. he will
always be quick to take position, the position
taken Will be sound. and he will hang on to it
till the end of recorded time.
The only objection that anybody could make
to Mr.. Reeds election. and the only one anybcdy
did make, was that it would remove from the
floor the ablest orator there the man Of all men
most formidable in attack and most Trustworthy
in defence; the man who in many Congresses
had been his party's right arm. Precisely the
same objection, had it been considered. would
have kept from the Speakers chair two of the
greatest of Americans, Henry Clay and James
G.. Blaine, with whom as presiding officers,
there are none TO compare Moreover. there are
several brilliant and powerful orators in the ma
jority of this Congress, any one Of whom can
readily handle the estimable, though tedious,

The caucus did the right thing. To the honor
of the Speakership Mr.. Reed was entitled; to
the services Of Mr.. Reed the House was en-
titled. His knowledge Of the rules is unsur-
passed. His temperament is thoroughly impair
tial and candid. The Democrats will like him
as a Speaker infinitely more than they did as the
leader of the minority and both parties will
give him their cordial support and respect.
