1t seems 10 DC ks4ssr4lA. dSGepAc0 -
q fact that Mr.. Reed will retire from
the speakership. and a free-for-ail con-
ties, for the succession is already being
waged. The list OF eligibles includes
Henderson and Hepburn. Of Iowa; Hop
kins. of Illinois: Sherman. OF New York:
Grosvenor. Of Ohio. and others 1t Is
likely that the Iowa delegation viii re-
qu!re withdrawal Of one or the other
candidates from that state and present
a single name to the Republican eau
Gus. IN that event. either the vet
eran Henderson or the active and efh-
Client Hepburn would be certain OF con-
siderable support from other Western
representatives.
The motives inducing Mr.. Reeds rar
tirenient are well understood. The sal
airy Is meager for a man Of his COM
manding talents. and his record during
the past session must be deemed to
have shut the door on his presidential
aspirations. He assumed a position OF
obstinate hostility toward his party on
more than one important question. and
exercised the great powers OF his posi-
ton with small conjunction for the
wishes of the house and no regard for
the certain political consequences to
himself. 1t would probably have hap
pened that at the next session his domi-
nant personality and special training
and fitness for a most difficult and
onerous place would have put to flight
any serious opposition; but ii is likewise
true that formidable effort would have
cess. to reduce the extraordinary infIu-
ence OF the speaker. AT any time dur
ing the past six years Mr.. Reed could
have retired with large income as
sured in legal practice; but he hesitated
TO give up public life He goes now
probably because he is tired of the con-
slant load of care and responsibility. be-
cause he has achieved the very summit
of his official career, because he does
not care to continue speaker under less
authoritative conditions than hereto
fore. and because his talents guarantee
him remuneration commensurate with
their scope and quality. Mr.. Reed
has fully demonstrated the value Of the
friendship OF the speaker as well as the
weight of its opposition. The people OF
the Pacific coast have reason to ramem-
Der his unyielding opposition To the
Nicaragua canal: and the Pacific North
west has more than once found him
against its local interests. They cam
not. therefore. experience any feeling of
deep regret that he has decided to sur
render the speakership to another.
The speakership should come West.
Grosvenor would be satisfactory. except
that he is an Ohio man. and Ohio Is al
ready too well provided for. Hopkins
has an excellent record and would ha
satisfactory. Hepburn's record on the
Nicaragua canal Is not acceptable. and
his colleague. Henderson, would be
preferable. speaker from Iowa would
be finely located geographically to rep
resent all the interests Of this great
country. and, other things being equal,
the congressman from Washington
might do we'll 10 support candidate
from that state.

The result or the tTiai OF SeHdtof
Quay for conspiracy Will necessitate a
modification Of public opinion. Mr.
Quay has been what Is known as po-
liticai boss for a number of years. and
has controlled the Republican organizA-
ton in the state Of Pennsylvania. AS
such he has made bitter enemies and
warm friends. His enemies procured
his indictment and alleged they had

ant to the penitentiary This attack
against him was made at the begin
ming OF a political campaign and at
time when he was a candidate 10 sue
ceed himself In the United States SEN
ate
Mr.. Quay positively denied that he
was guilty Of the offense for which he
was indicted. and declared the attack
against him was made solely for politi-
cal purposes. 1t is needless to say that
the general public. who are inclined to
believe any and every charge made
against a political boss without stop
ping 10 inquire either the source or mo-
tive of the charge. unhesitatingly de-
clared their confidence in his guilt
No pains were spared 10 make the
case against him as strong as possible
His personal and political enemies con-
,rolled the courts. and every technical
objection made BY his attorneys was
overruled. all the books and papers Of
fered in evidence against him were adj
mitted. and he was forced TO meet his
enemies upon their own ground aud
fight them with their own weapons.
No one who followed the states case

see that the defendant was getting the
