WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 25.-The
recent dramatic declination of Speaker
David B. Henderson. of Iowa, to accept
denomination as a candidate for con-
gress, has injected into the approaching
congressional elections a new issue and
q new interest. To republicans. to the
country at large, the elections in the sew
eral districts assume an importance only
second to that possessed by an election
for the presidency itself. On the results
rests the determination Of the question
Of the speakership Of the next house.

friend Of President Harrison. He has
always had a certain popularity in
Washington. A man Of plain manner
and appearance, his Washington house is
often a centre Of social gaiety. but per-
sonally he has the reputation of being
a man bent on business first and pleas

the instigation, 1t is said, of his own
constituents, who desired that he retain
his seat in congress. In his speakership
race against Henderson, Sherman had
but one formidable opponent, Serene
Payne, of Auburn, N. Y, then chairman
of the ways and means committee.
When he retired from the speakership
contest Sherman was believed to have
secured eighty-three votes out Of the
ninety-two necessary to secure the eau
Gus nomination. He has been six times
elected to congress and defeated once.
Congressman Joe" Cannon, Of Illi-

middlewest candidate for speaker. In
November. 1889. he did come forward as
republican candidate for the office. He
