Washington, Dec. THE deadlock is broken
and Crisp has won. He was nominated tonight
on the thirtieth ballot after the hottest and bit
terest fight that has ever been waged for the
Speakership Of the House of Representatives, a
fight hot and bitter as it could shave been If
Crisp and Mills had been candidates of opposing
parties instead of candidates of the same party; a
fight which was fought, not on its merits for the
control Of the organization Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, but one which was fought between two
factions Of the same party for supremacy; fight
in which the lines were distinctly drawn between
the partisans of Grover Cleveland and the faction
opposed to him.
The ballots taken to-day were as follows, con-

Surprised at Last,

THE atmosphere Of politics is
peculiar one at best of times. No
body can please everybody IN his
political doings. Do his best, he
will be sure to find some traducers:
do his worst and he will not be with
out defenders. In fact politics is a
law to itself and gospel dispensed
by the caprices of the multitude.
People up a tree are therefore pre-,
pared to expect many a strange
sights fit across their vision from
the field whereIthe politician registers.
1t is pretty hard to create a special
surprise. 1t is expected that saints
will be sinners and sinners saints as
necessity commands. We have
seen men of correct lives arraigned
as imposters and we have seen i'm
posters play the role patriotic with
abundant success. And we have
not been surprised. vs. have seen
mountebanks and DULLES making
white slaves" of the people, and
have seen the people bend their
necks, bare their shoulders and
submit to the yoke, with a sense of
their own Importance as yoke bear
ers. And we have not been sur
prised. We have Seen guileless
saints play politics" with a gusto
that appalled, the tough" And we
have not been surprised. We have
known selfish schemerS to barter the
liberties and franchises of a whole
district and deny to the sovereign
voter even the semblance of a right
to cast vote, and when the gatherers
Of the swag obtained in this way
were received at the chief places at
the party feast and honored above
their fellows, and nobody was bold
enough to wonder, we began to
think there could be nothing sur
prising under the sun. But, there
came time when reputable paper,
devoted TO the interest of that party
that steals districts and honors the
Doodle snatchers, gravely rebuked
and denounced the party of the op
position for running a convention
INDEPENDENT Of the bosses. And then,
we had to be a little 6if surprised.
Goody, Gracious! And it has come
to this-that Bosses:and bossism are
not only great convenience but an
absolute sine qua nOn to correct
politics. Oh Meas ~ Me0s-yt
We didn't heed the Bosses, and that
is our crime Yes, we are surprised
at last.
