SPEAKER REED AT HOME.
He Says the Old Rule of the Minority
~ On Eud

He Says the Old Rule of the Minority Is
at an End.
PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 5.-Three thousand
people welcomed Speaker Reed home last
night at the city hall Representative Fogg,
who presided, presented the speaker, who
was received with a prolonged burst Of APP
plause. In the course Of a long speech Mr..
Reed said that since 1874 a Republican
house had been rare, because Of frauds in
the south. For years rule has been piled
upon rule and decision upon decision, TO
render legislation dependent upon the
sufference Of the minority. Filibustering
lurked in every line. The power Of OBJ
struction was without limit. But referring
to the new regime he said:
"Henoeforth great measures cannot be
lost, and nobody know what has become
OF them. Party responsibility has begun,
and with it also the responsibility of the
people, for they can no longer elect a DEM
ocratic house and hope that the minority
will neutralize their action, or a Republi-
can house without being sure that it will
keep its pledges. II we have broken the
presidents of a hundred years, we have set
the precedence Of another hundred years,
nobler than the last, wherein responsibility
will wait on power, and wherein the peo
pie, with full knowledge that their serv.
ants can act, will choose those who will
worthily carry out their will"
