What Mr.. Reed Has Done.
On. Y. Sum-


The adjournment of Congress today or
tomorrow will release Mr.. Reed of Maine
for a time from engagements which he
has steadily regarded as more important
than the promotion of his own political
fortunes The nominee of the convention
at st. Louis will owe to the speaker of
the Republican House of representatives
in the hfty-fourth Congress a debt of
gratitude which cannot be expressed in
Arabic numerals or measured with
yardstick. The Republican party itself
will be under obligations to MIR. Reed for
q service of the first magnitude. not the
less conspicuous because 1t has been rem
dered ungrudgingly as a matter of
course. and in spirit of loyal. stawart
generous self-sacriiice which has no re-
