\ Sketch of His Career.
Charles Frederick Crisp Was boon in Shelf
field. Eng, January -, lsI5. while nlS parents
were on theatrical trip abroad, both
being actors he obtained his education
in the Georgia public schocl aud served
in the confederate army from the outhr, AK
Of the rebe!lioatin he was made a prisoner
of in 1854. At the close of the war he
studied law ard was admitted IL the bar in
1855 and in 1872 was appointed so.icitor-reueral
Of the southwestern judicial district of Geor
gin. In ~. he was appointed Judge OF the
perlor court, which position he titled for sew
eral years. II ISS2 he resigned to 20 TO con-
greSN
The principal work done hy Mr.. Crisp during
his first term in congress, which went for moth
lnc ut the time, was to apply himself most dill
gently to acquiring an extended knowledge Of
the business pf the house. The technical am
munltio1l thus stored up i what availed him
so much later on, especially when leading the
democratic minority IN defense Of those demo-
Gratis fairly elected whom the republicans tried
To turn out III the last congress
When Mr. Cr!Sp's third term in congress be-
gan with the meeting Of the Flftieth congress
the house realized that Georgia had an able
one TO represent her. Ii was supposed that on
the assembling of the Fifticth congress in 1887
Mr.. Crisp would be appointed chairman Of one
OF the committees upon which he had served.
An accidental happening. however, prevented
Ii For the second time in the history OF con-
greSs the seat Of the speaker was contested and
IN this case Mr Carlisle declined TO appoint the
committee on elections After consideration
II was agreed that nine members should be
elected by the democrats and six by the repub-
NcanS The democratic caucus unanimously
selected Mr. Crisp 10 act chairman of that
committee. Could he have forcSeen the OPP
portunity which was here presented 10 him he
would have welcomed it with delight AS it
was he accepted it duty. believing that
he had temporarily got off from the road to
distinction.
Mr. Crisp was chosen speaker OF the Fifty
Second congress after such IL long and rather
animated contest with aSpirants OF his own
party IN caucus that the election was not made
until the houses session began. When the
Fifty-Thrd congress convened he was re-
elected without opposition.

COMPLEIELY KNOCKED OUT

The election of Gov. McEueuy as
United States Senator dealt a heavy
blow to the combine Of Republicans
and Popnlists at Baton Rouge, who
strained every nerve to elect an anti
administration man as Senator. But
the coup de grace was administered last
Tuesday night when ninety-tour Dem
ocrats, including seventeen or eighteen
Citizens League senators and repre-
sentatives, cancussed to nominate
circuit judges. This completely
knocks out the combine. 1t portends
that henceforth, Democrats will act
together in the legislature in all that
the party intimately. It
means also that New Orleans will
secure such remedial legislation as she
demands, without the need OF combine
help.
The combiners in the legislature
had just as we'll make up their minds
to be good, now. 1t won't pay to be
naughty; they are powerless to accom-
plish any mischief.
