The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1899-04-07

With all Gar Reeds faults. and he has
enough and to spare, he has never been a
sneaky fighter, which is more than can be
said for the administration crowd, which
is afraid to come out in the open and try
to defeat Reed for the Speakership, but is
engaged in trying to bluff him into not
being candidate, by stating that the add
ministration has determined to throw its
influence for Reed, but with the express
understanding that the rules of the next
House shall be changed So as to cut out all
the Gar business. The idea is that Reed
would not care to be speaker if he is to be
shorn of the aLtocratic power he has
welded. This is on a par with the talk
which has at times been heard ever since
Reed first became Speaker, about republi-
cans who were going to unite with
the democrats to change the rules and cur
tail the power of the Speaker. They
never did so, and if the republicans elect
Reed Speaker of the House again, as they
will almost surely do, he will be the same
old Gar.
