THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT
/Hnntinunu from st uuue.l

A fine orator, careful student oi
public affairs, a strong lawyer, one oil
the foremost jury advocates in the
state, militant in his Supreme court
argument, n thorough master of par.
liamentary law, a skillfui manager OF
men, and an excellent judge of what
is pract ical in legislation, he could not
fail to become great party leader in
case the Republicans of this district
send him to congress. Indeed, it is
safe to predict that before ne had been
in the house anywhere near rs long as
Grout has. he would become speaker,
an honor that has never come to Yer
mont, andVermonters would have reason
to feel proud of him. MIR. Martin has
been speaker for three terms OF the
Vermont house, and many good judges
from out of the state, who have seen
him in the chair and noted the facility
and alertness with which he handled
and dispatched business, have testi-
fed that they never saw it equallcd.
We might not only reasonably hope
that he would become speaker after
less than IA years of service, but that
he would go into history as one of the
ablest ones congress ever had. His ca
pacity for constructive legislation is
we'll illustrated by the corporation tax
law which he remodelled and re-draft
ed in 1890 after Supreme court decis-
ions had taken the life out of the old
ore. 1t was difficult and most com
pick work, but so we'll was it done at
his hands while tax commissioner, that
since then its purposes have been ac-
complished without particle of fric-
ton,
