burn of Illinois.
So at IL 80 o'clock adjourned, the caucus
which, in the length Of its proceedings, Il
the most memorable of any in the history
of the House Of Representatives since the
war.
MILLS HAS NOTHING TO SAY.
After the caucus Mr.. Mills was invited tc
furnish the press with his views upon the
result, but answered: ~ have nothing tC
say to the press"
Mr.. Hatch said: 81 am entirely satisfied
with the result voted for Mr.. Crisp be-
cause believe he possesses Ia the mos
to make an able, conservative and
successful speaker. navel never
at any time during his campaign
shared in the feeling against Mr.. CrisI
from the statement made that he was moi
as able and conscientious a tariff reformel
as Mr.. Mills or any gentleman in this con-
gress. | am better satisfied with his record
on the silver question than that OF Mr.
Mills since the latter genteman's speeches
in Ohio. | have no regrets TO express as &C
the result. 1t will prove good thing FOL
the Democratic party and Tor the whole
people Of the country"
sPRINGER's CANVASS.
Mr.. Springer said to an Associated Pres
reporter:
The canvass for the speakership, so far as
am concerned, has been conducted upon rht
theory tnat good politics required that the
speakership should go TO the northwest, and es
pecially to the state of Illinois, where it wouiC
contribute in some degree to the success of the
Democratic party in the presidential election oi
1892 but it seems that the representatives of The
Democratic party in congress do not take tha
view Of the question, and while had not con
templated choice between MIR. Crisp and Mr.
Mills, when the time arrived at which 1t was
necessary for me to act, choose that couFs,
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 Oh
rulings which would cause any democrat to re.
gret that Mr.. Crisp is elevated to this hig b
position. have always insisted that the office
of speaker should be filed by man of iudicia
mind who would under all circumstances ex.
citement or calm, bs able to maintain order
and preserve the dignity Of the body. SO far
as the question of tariff reform is conceFhed
have taken pains to satisfy myself that in Mr.
Crisp's election 1t will be preserved as the para
mount issue Of the presidential campaign OF
1899. But there are other issues which must
be kept 10 view, and especially that of economy IL
the public expenditures. We must make recort
in this congress which will convince the people
that we are in favor or an honest and economi-
cal administration, and that no money should
be expended except such as is absolutely neces-
Crisp will not conplicate the presidential
contest. No candidate for President wil
receive any advantage or disadvantage
from il. The national convention will be lef
perfectly free to make the choice Of our candi-
date uninfiuenced by the result of the speaker
ship contest. The Democratic party is the
party of the people and not party of combina-
tionA
M'MILLIN's WITHDRAWAL.
When Mr.. McMillin withdrew, pending
the thirtieth ballot, he said:
Mr.. CHAIRwAN--For twenty~nfne ballots this
caucus has been engaged in an effort to nom
mate a candidate for speaker of the
name has been before the caucus. Amid ali
the changes that have occurred during
the excitement incident to the heated contest
the friends who began with me have remained
