VIEWS OF THE LEADERS.
After the caucus Mills was invited TO
speak upon the result, but he answered.
81 have nothing to say to the press"
Hatch said be was entirely satisfied. "
voted for Crisp because the latter possesses
in tile most eminent degree all the Qualifica-
tions of an able, conservative and success
ful Speaker. lidid not share in the belief
that Crisp was not conscientious tariff-re-
former, aud | am better satisfied with his
record on the silver question than with that
of Mills"
Springer said he had chosen the course he
deemed best for the interest of the Demo-
cratic party generally. Crisp will make an
able and impartial presiding officer. There
will bs no scenes of disorder or rulings
WHICH would cause any Democrat 10 regret
Crisp's elevation to this high position.
have always insisted" said Mr.. Springer,
" that the Office of Speaker should be
filled by man of judicial mind, who
would under all circumstances be able TO
maintain order and preserve the dignity
of the body. AS far as the question OF tariff
reform is concerned l have taken the pains
to satisfy myself that in CriSps election it
will be preserved as the paramount issue Of
the Presidential campaign IF 1892, But
there are other issues, especially that of
economy in public expenditures. We must
make record in this Congress which will
convince the people that we are in favor of
an honest and economical administration,
and that no money should be expended eX-
cept such as is absolutely necessary for
public purposes. The election OF Crisp will
not complicate the Presidential contest. No
candidate for President will receive any ad-
vantage or disadvantage from it"
