Springer Was Surprised.
When asked for statement as to the
reasons which impelled the speaker to
depose him from the chairmanship Of
the ways and means committee, Mr..
Springer said:
ITO say that / am surprised at my
deposition from the chairmanship of
the ways and means committee and ap-
pointed as chairman OF the committee
on banking and currency. is only q
feeble expression of the truth. I had
no intimation from the speaker what
ever, as to bis failure to reappoint or
as to his intention to make me chair
man Of the other committee. I go from
the work to which I have given the
best study Of my life to committee to
the business Of which have given but
little attention heretofore. / know
nothing of the motives of the speaker
or of the object that he. had in view.
]. He has assured me that he desired me
/ to do that which was best for the
country and the Democratic party. I
hope he is not mistaken, but opinions
may differ. do not care to make a
further statement at this time.

Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont asked and OBJ
tanned indefinite leave of absence on

dressed the senate in favor of the bill
