htical battles into private life. The men
that fought him most bitterly in his race
for speaker the first time, and who
claimed that he would cause a split in
the party, now acknowledge that he was
the only man who could have so success
fully united the factions. Bynum, pOssi-
bly, his most bitter opponent in the first
race, in speaking of him the other day
said, that, taking him all in all, he could
be ranked among the greatest
speakers the House has ever had. There
was no effort made to defeat him in his
last race. not because there were no as
pirants, but because his enemies had be-
come his friends. Southern representa-
tiyes are proud of him and love him: the
west adheres to his principles, and the
east admiros him. The simplicity of his
methods wins the admiration Of all. He
does not ask what is eHpedient, but what
is right.
EvINCEs HIS GEORGIA REARING.
Mr. Crisp brings his Georgia rearing to
the capitol. and lets not the feshpots Of
Washington either hurt his digestion or
allure him to strange gods Because he
does not have to come to the capitol till
u, he does not lie in bed till TO- No mat
ter how late al night he is at work, he is
up every morning by z. His first duty Of
the day, he says, is TO read the newSpa-
porS. He only glances at the political
gossip and the heavy editorials of the
financial situation. He CLEANS carefully
the news from the southern states and
then the world at large. At o'clock he
breakfasts, usually with his family One
of his maXims is that no man should
talk before the first meal of the day, as
no man can be himself until he puts all
parts of his body in motion. Breakfast
over, he throws himself into one of the
large chairs in the parlOr lobby. Here
he usually finds a cOncOurse of politicians
awaiting him. They never discuss poll
tics, but spend the hour chatting upon
subjects entirely foreign to tariff, finances
and foreign polices. Though he goes out
very little in society himself, he shows an
ability to hear the social gossip of the
capital Eleven o'clock always
finds him in the speakers s
room, where he is busily engaged
until the hour of session. He let's nothing
interfere with his duties for the next
four or five hours. He never takes but a
quarter of an hour for his lunch, and he
carries the same simplicity of diet into
the House restaurant that he does into
the Metropolitan dining room Broiled
oysters, pate de fois gras or chateau
equen does not allure him to stay longer
over mis- lunch, and his midday meal
usually consists of a hot beef sandwich or
broiled steak, and tomatoes.
PASSION ON TIE DEMAND.
His only social weakness, if such it can
be termed, is the theater, his love of
which he possibly inherited from his
father, the best of whose life was spent
on the stage. Knowing it is prediction
he is often invited to become one of u
fashionable theater party, but such in
vitatiOns he seldom accepts. He goes to
the theater to listen, not TO talk and
usually on the first night of a good run he
is to be seen sitting next to the middle
aisle, six rows from the stage, generally
with his son or a hearty crowd of con-
gressmen. He is sometimes tempted to
occupy a box with some of the newspaper
gang, but these occasions are rare, us he
cannot stand to have supper afterwards,
which they always force him to eat.
While a national character of magni-
tude and great Importance, he is essen
TALLY a Georgian. il he has any vanity,
it is for his state; and no amount Of
squabbling as to which is the
greatest state in the union, which
he and his immediate friends
sometimes indulge in to pass away the
time, can overthrow his convictions that
Georgia is the greatest state in the union.
He takes personal pride in the advance
mCnU of every new member of the GeOr-
gia delegation He is always ready with
his advice and sympathy. 1t is needless
to say that he is beloved by all of them
He bears his honors so meekly that his
exalted position never eXcites jealousy,
for his life only appeals to what is best in
mankind
