ley Of taking Speaker from the North th At
we might spike the guns of the enemy, a
the outset of tho Presidential election, or
the charge that the South was again trying
to capture the government-believing thai
every ambition for our own section shonId
be subordinated to the success of our owa
party in the great election of 1892.
My mind was only disabused of its strong
predilection in this direction by fnding a
large majority of the Democrats of the
North aud West in the House scouting
such al idea-aud demanding that the m IN
to be elected Speaker should DO neither
from the North, South, East or West, but
a representative of the whole country-and
known to the country as an aggressive ad-
vocate Of the great doctiue of tariffreforn.
Tie transition was easy-sufely If a ma j0ri-
ty Of the North stood demanding a South
ern nan as best suited to their needs no
Southern man, believing as l did in the
policy Of allowing the North to dictate in
the matter, could hesitate.

But it may be asked in what position were
these Northwestern and New England
Democrats to demand anything at the
hands of the party. You have furnished
your readers certain tables in the above ar
ticle, Mr.. Editor, showing that there is no
hope of Democratic gains in those quarters.
You give the results in 1884 and in 1888,
and beg leave to add another giving the
result in 1890 in the same States, except
Kansas, with others added.

Democratic members of Congress, Elected

Is there no hope In this showing for the
Democracy? Are not the demands of these
States worthy of our attention in view oi
this record? Of the above 80 votes IN eau
Gus 35 were given to Mr.. Mills and II to
Mr.. Crisp. Moreover, il the representa-
tives of these States are TO be credited ii
| was Mr. mills to whom the credit was due
more than to any other of turning these
States from darkness into light in the
last congressional election.
When the Mills bill was under considera-
tion the enemies of the tobacco interests OF
Virginia sought to keep the tax on this ar
ticle, but it was due to Mr.. Mills that the
clause abolishing the whole tax was put in
to the bill, and it passed the House with
that clause in it, only to be killed by the
Republican Senate. In the same bill iron
ore was saved from the free list and al.
lowed to remain at its then rate of duty by
Mr.. Mills, in response to many demands
from the people of Virginia who were be-
ginning to develope this great industry.
As the firm friend of Virginia, as the
choice of the Northern Democracy, as the
recognized leader in the House on the great
question of tariff reform, earnestly desir-
ed Mr.. Mills election. If mistake has
been made, time alone will determine it.
In the meantime, the mere differences of
opinion of members as to their choice for
the speakership will rapidly disappear be-
fore the unified, defiant Democracy in its
renewed assaults upon common enemy
eDtrenched behind the money bags of the
treasury and the high walls of protected
monopolies. I am, with great respect,
Very truly yours,

A Communication from Mr. Tucker.
To the Editor of the Lynchburg News:

My attention has just been called,
(through your courtesy in sending me the
paper) to an editorial in ycur valuable pa
per of the 11th of December last on the SUBJ
ject of my vote in the late Speakership con-
test in the House of Representatives. The
article in question is as follows:
Congressman Tucker, of Virginia, one of
the two Virginians who voted for Mills. says
he did SO because when he came to Washing~
ton he found that the Republicans from the
Northwest and Northeast were for him.-Al-
exandria Gazette.
Mr.. Tucker might have gone further and
said that the Republicans of the Southeast
and Southwest were likewise for Mr.. Mills.
But is not that queer reason why Dem
ocratic Congressman should have voted for
him? Mr.. Tucker evidently has never re-
covered from Don Dickinson's famous rain
bow literature, but still hugs the delusion
about ''revolutionizing the great North
west" AS we have had occasion to remark
before the revolution so confidently prophe-
sled for the Democrats in that section and
in the Cape Cod region didn't revolute.
The following figures will show just how
far the rainbow-chs missed their pre-
dictions:
