CRISP BEAMED.
Hatch Wins the Gratitude of the
New Speaker.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Immediately
after the twenty-third ballot dramatic
scene occurred. Messrs. Crisp and
Hatch met accidentally in the lobby in
the rear of the house. Instantly the
Georgian grasped the hand of his late
opponent. and, with beaming face,
thanked him warmly for his support.
The POO spectators on the outside wit
messed the scene, and the friends of
Mr.. Crisp gave a cheer of eXultatiOn.
On the twenty-fourth ballot MI. Springer
lost another vote, and Mr.. Crisp reaped
the profit. Mr. McClellaEd, of Indiana,
followed the example of Mr.. Shlvely,
and voted for Mr.. Crisp. This was the
only change, but it gave MIR. Crisp
lead of six over Mr.. Mills. the result
being: Crisp, 101; Mills, %; McMillin,
10: Springer, II; Stevens, l.
The eXcitementfat this. time was at fever
heat, but it received a check by the sud
den reflection that in all the changes
Mr.. McMillin had held his own. and
that should even the entire following Of
Mr.. Springer go to either Mr.. Crisp or
Mr.. Mills. it would be insufficient to de-
feat the other leading rival so long as
the supporters of the Tennessee candi-
date stood firm.
The assault upon Mr.. Springer's
forces ceased and terrific efforts were
made to break the McMillin ranks.
Members rushed bither and thither
buttUnhOling and demonstrating with
the followers of the gentleman from
Tennessee, but their efforts were in
vain. The valiant nineteen still voted
resOlutely for McMillin, and there be-
ing no detection in any other quarter
the twenty-fifth and twenty-siXth bal
lots failed to show any change.
The twenty-seventh ballot was long
and monotonous one, and the members
answered listleSsly to their names. The
result showed no change: Crisp. 10l;
Mills, 95: McMillin, 10; Springer, l.;
Stevens, /. A short conference of the
leading friends of the candidates wa
held, and as the result Mr.. DurbOrOw,
of the Springer delegation, moved 10
take a recess until 8 p. III. The motion
unanimously prevailed.

SPRINGER IN /
The IlIinoisan Thanks His People
and Quits.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE two hours
interval between the adjournment and
reaSsembling of the caucus was indus
triOusly utilized by the candidates and
their managers. Messrs. Springer and
McMilin held a hasty conference and
subsequently dined together, with the
result that they decided to act together
in the termination of the contest should
it become inevitable that either Mr..
Crisp or Mr.. Mills must be elected. At
7:30 p. IN. Mr.. Springer and his twelve
sturdy supporters held a secret confer
ence. at which Mr.. Springer thanked
his followers for their loyal support, and
stated his belief that either Mr.. Crisp or
Mr.. Mills must be elected.
You, gentlemen. have been loyal to
me, ;" said he: lyon have made sacrifices
for me, and it is now my time to be loyal
to you. l am prepared now TO throw
my influence and vote for either of the
candidates that you gentlemen may de-
sire to support as unit. And l will do
that with the positive understanding
with the man we may elect that | want
nothing, that l ask nothing for myself.
but that my friends must be well treat
ed. Applause. l leave you now. gen
tlemen. to decide upon the candidate
you desire to support as your second
choice, and my vote and influence is at
your disposal" [Applause.]
After Mr.. Springer's withdrawal, the
delegation discussed briefly the Ques-
tons of policy. and finally decided that
they would not avail themselves of Mr.
Springer'S generosity, but that they
would leave him entirely free to vote as
he desired OH the decisive candidate,
and that they would each do the same
From now on Mr.Springer was greatly
in demand. He was in turns impOr-
tvned by Mr.. Crisp, 10y Congressman
johnson, Of the Mills following, and by
Cot. G. Ii. Jones, the editor of the ST.
Louis Republic, but the amount of sol.
ace and encouragement he gave either
or any of them could not be learned.
That most of Mr.. McMiilin'S followers
were decidedly pledged 10 a second
choice when he should withdraw, and
that Mr.. Springer and his immediate
friends held the key to the situation
was the general opinion, and the first
ballot Of the evening was awaited with
breathleSs interest.
The first change came when the name
of Durbarrow, one of Mr.. Springer's IL
llnUiS supporters, was reached. That
gentleman voted for Crisp, and few
minutes later another of Mr.. Springer's
Illinois friends also voted for the Geor-
gia candidate. Messrs. Rabbit and
Miller of Wisconsin, two of the other
friends of Mr. Springer, went to the
Mills forces, so that the twenty-eighth
ballot gave Crisp 103, Mills 96, McMillin
10. Springer 6, and Stevens l.
Mr.. Capehart, Mills man, was sick
and absent from the evenings session.
Mr.. Crisp was now within eleven votes
of nomination, but the McMIllin men
were still unmoved. and no election was
possible while they remained loyal to
the Tennessee candidate.

PRAISE AND PATRIOTISM.
Messrs. Hatch and Springer in
Generous Mood.

Generous Mood.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-After the cau-
Gus Mr.. Mills was invited to furnish
the press with his views upon the re-
suit, but answered: Il have nothing to
say to the press"
In commenting upon the result of the
contest Mr.. Hatch said: 81 am en-
tirely satisfied with the result. | voted
for Mr.. Crisp because l believe he pos
sessed in the most eminent degree all
the qualifications to make an able,
conservative and successful speaker. |
have never at any time during this cam
paign shared in the feeling against Mr..
Crisp, from the statement made that he
was not as able and conscientious a
tariff refOrmer as Mr.. Mills, or any gen.
tleman in this congress. | am better
satisfied with his record on the silver
question than that of Mr.. Mills since
the latter gentleman's speeches in Ohio.
have no regrets to express in regard to
the result. 1t will prove a good thing
for the Democratic party, and for
the whole people of the country"
Mr.. Springer said: 1.-THE canvass for
the sPeakership, so far as l am con-
cerned, has been conducted upon the
theory that good politics required that
the speakership should go to the North
west, and especially to the state of Hi
nois, where it would contribute in some
degree to the success of the Democratic
party in the presidential election of
1892, bull seems that the representatives
OF the Democratic party in congress do
not take that view of the question; and.
while had not contemplated choice
between Mr.. Crisp and Mr.. Mills,
when the time arrived at which
1t was necessary for me to act,
l chose that course which |
deemed would be best for the interests
OF the Democratic party generally. Mr..
Crisp will make an able and impartial
presiding officer. There will be no
scenes of disorder or ruling which
would cause any Democrat TO regret
that Mr.. Crisp is elevated to this high
position. l have always insisted that
the office of speaker should be filled by
man of judicial mind who would. under
all circumstances of excitement or
calm. be able to maintain order and
preserve the dignity of the body.
80 far as the question of tariff re-
form Is concerned, | have taken pains
to satisfy myself<that In Mr.. Crisp'S
election it will be preserved IS the par
amount issue of the presidential cam
paign of 1892. But there are other
io@uNS nhiStl must oC htpt III view, anu
especially that of economy in the public
expenditures. We must make record
IN this congress which will convince
the people that we are in favor
of an honest and economical admin
lstration, and that no money should be
expended except such as is absolutely
necessary for public purposes. The
election of Mr.. Crisp will not compli-
cate the presidential contest. No can
didate for president win receive any adj
vantage or disadvantage from it. The
national convention will be left per-
fectly free to make the choice of our
candidate uninfuenced by the result of
the speakership contest. The Demo-
cratic party is the party of the people
and not party of combinations"

M.MILLIN AND SPRINGER.
The One Withdraws, the Other
Decides the Contest.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-During the ex-
element Mr.. McMillin had been hold
ing frequent conferences with his col
leagues and had left his headquarters
and stationed himself in the lobby in
the rear of the house. On the following
ballot there was one change that was
fraught with ominOus pOrtent for the
candidacy OF Mr.. Mills. Mr. Stahl-
necker, who had been steadily voting
for Mr.. Mills, changed to Mr.. Crisp.
Mr.. Babbitt, of Wisconsin, returned to
Mr. Springer, so that the twenty-ninth
ballot resulted as follows: Crisp, 1O4;
Mills, "a; McMillin. 10; Springer, 9;
Stevens, l.
At the beginning of the thirteenth
ballot, and before the call had be-
gun. Mr.. McMillin, who had been
standing in the srear lobby, entered
the hall. Instantly there was a
burst Of applause, and this was an
unerring indication that the gentleman
from Tennessee was to withdraw from
the contest. Mr.. McMillin obtained
recognition from the chair, and, thank
ing his followers for their loyal and
constant support, formally withdrew
from the contest, amid applause.
AS the ballot proceeded the followers
VI lue 1tuucSStS CdnuludlS began 10
scatter, Messrs. Covert, Enloe and Kyle
going to Mr. Mills and Mr.. Washington
to Mr.. Crisp. When the name of Nc
Millin was called that gentleman him
self voted for Mr.. Mills. Changes now
came i'll rapid succession, and at the
conclusion Of the ballot Mr.. Crisp
stood with ia votes and Mr. Mills with
los. The Georgia candidate was one
short of nomination, with Mr..
Springer and his little band of followers
holding the balance of power. 1t re-
manned to the Illinois leader to say
vino should be speaker of the Fifty
second congress.
Great applause greeted Mr.. Springer
as he entered the hall. There was a
breathless pause as the Illinois leader
proceeded to his little group of sup
porters, and, shaking hands all around,
thanked each for his loyal support. The
