DEATH OF EX-SpEAEER CRISP
continued from first pagc

great tact and possessed all other quail
ties that cminently fitted him for leader
ship i'll parliamentary aSsemblage. His
first prominence in national affairs came
from the skill with which he led his party
in several warm election contests. The
prestige he then acquired led TO his cleo
ton to the Speakcrship after one of the
most memorable canvasses in the history
of the House. His chief opponent was
Senator Roger @. Mills, of Texas, whom
he defeated after IL struggle that was pro-
longed so that the House of Representa-
tives, contrary to custom, assembled on
the opening day with the question of its
next Speaker still in doubt
AS Speaker, Mr.. Crisp was fair but
firm. His rulings have been upheld, and
though sometimes they were the subject
of considerable criticism from his politi-
cal opponents, he always commanded
their respect and confidence.
He was II pronounced advocate of the
free coinage of silver and on one occasi on
his casting vote Us Speaker saved the de-
feat OF a free coinage bill On the other
hand it was largely due to his firmness
in ruling that passed the Sherman silver
repeal law through the House. his ruling
defeating il formidable filibustering move
mcnt led by Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, and
others
Mr. Crisp was an Englishman by birth
and i'll his carly life had been identified
with the stage.

Democrats to Parade.

Democrats to Parade.
Chicago Oct 23.-Judge Tully to-day
refused to issue IN injunction restraining
Chief of Police l5adcnoch from interfering
with the free silver parade on the night
of Saturday, October 81 He held that
the court had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter and that the right to allow the parade
was vested in the chief of police. When
the Democratic county committee applied
for permission to have IL parade in the
down town streets on that evening, Chief
Badenoch refused on the ground that
permission had already been granted to
the Republicans for that evening. \ big
row was the result and after futile at
tempts ut compromise by the Republican
leaders, the matter was taken into court.
Democratic leaders stated in open court
that they will fight the police force or
anyone else who attempted to prevent
their marching in parade on the night of
October 81 Chief Baticnoch Oh the other
hand declares that it would endnnyer the
peace of the city to have two opposing
political factions marching the streets ut
the same time and says that the Demo
Gratis will not be allowed to parade. De-
velopmcnts are being eagerly awaited
