which may be termed dlstinctively
Reed rules. In the first place, he count
ed quorum when members sat in their
seats declining to vote, and claiming to
be absent. Every body now comedies
that Reed was right in taking that
stand. In the second place, he intro
duced the policy of declining to enter
tain what he tocratically decided to
be dilatory motions. He took this stand
in order that business might proceed.
His course in this respect is now in
dorsed by allgood parliamentarians.
In specializing upon the contest for
the speakership, and assuming that it
will take to some extent, at least, sec
tional aspect, it is worth while to con-

now existing in Nebraska. Maine,
