Crisp Given the Empty Honor Of Nom-
fnatfon for Speaker.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Sixty-two of the
105 members of the Democratic minority of
the House met in caucus this afternoon TO
form the Democratic House organization
and renominate their officers in the last
Congress. Mr.. Culberson, OF Texas. who
has held his seat since the Forty-fourth
Congress, was elected chairman OF the
Democratic caucus for the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress, TO succeed Mr.. Holman, of Indiana.
Messrs. Robertson, of louisiana and Rusk
of Maryland, were elected caucus secre-
taries. Ex-Speaker Crisp was named for
third term by Mr.. Richardson, OF Tennes-
nessee, and the nomination was carried
unanimously with considerable enthusiasm.
The other officers of the Fifty-third Con-
gress were selected as the Democratic slate
without opposition. Selection of the three
or four minor officers whom the minority
Is permitted to name was postponed.
In nominating Mr.. Crisp. Mr.. Richardson
touched on the future policy of the party.
He said that he had been selected to for
mally name who had already been
named in the hearts of all. He spoke of
the election Of Mr.. Crisp to the speaker
ship of the Fifty-second Congress by the
24O Democrats after sharp and brilliant
contest. of his election a second time by
the 215 Democrats of the Fifty-third Con-
gress, and said they had met a third time
to honor him. "a small band of struggling
patriots with full knowledge that our decla-
ration will be impotent-why," he continued,
this Is not the occasion the place to
inquire. 1 believe 1t is not because any
great number Of those who have heretofore
followed the Democratic standard have de-
serted their flag. Our party has heretofore
buried In forgotten graves every political
organization that ever contended against IL,
and we have an abiding faith that ii will do
the same with its present great rival. To
do so all strife should cease in our own
I1amay; 1saaayy.; ian and we SHOULD ,s,. choose s;a as
tricts such fearless and patriotic
Democrats the gentleman we are
about 10 name. We should inscribe on our
banners the policy and principles of the
great and triumphant Democracy. lay aside
all new-fangled doctrines and continue the
battle for reduction of taxation on the
people, give them cheaper clothing and sup
plies; to broaden and make better mar
kets for the products of our farms and
manufacturers, to reduce the public
penses. for greater simplicity In our ma
tional affairs for home rule and local self
government, for ample circulating medium
for our trade and commerce, for sound
money, the gold and silver coinage of the
Constitution-and then the Democracy will
be again triumphant and the country will
be redeemed and regenerated."
Mr.. Crisp responded briefly, expressing his
thanks. The best of feeling prevailed and
there was no tendency to bring the financial
question forward, although the gold and
free-silver leaders were both present.
