THE SPEAkERSHIP.
Some Facts About the Position Which
Reed and Henderson Quit.

Some Facts About the Position Which
Reed and Henderson Quit.
Among the earliest duties which
will. devolve upon the recently elect
ed members of the Fifty-eighth Con
gress will be the choice of a speaker
and present indications make 1t p.ob
able that the speaker will be chosen
from the West.
The speaker of the Fifty-seventh
Congress, David B. Henderson, was
the first to be chosen from the terri:
tory west of the Mississippi.
The first speaker was II. A. Muh.
lenburg of Pennsylvania. Thu pest of
speaker was he'd In the Twenty-fourth
and Twentyffth Congresses by James
K. Polk, afterwards President.
Speakers of the House Of Represen-
tatiyes who have been candidates for
President are numerous and include
Henry Clay, John Bell and James G.
Blaine. Schuyler Colfax, after having
been speaker, was Vice President of
the United States.
The Oldest surviving speaker is Ga
lusha A. Grow, born in 1923, and
speaker from 1861 to 1863.
The last Democratic speaker, Charles
f. Crisp, was a native of England.
One surviving speaker. John G. Car
Isle, though elected Representative
in Kentucky, is now a resident of the
City Of New York.
There has never been speaker from
the Pacific coast, and II Is somewhat
curious circumstance that Ohio.
though pre-eminent In nearly all other
political offices, has had In the COIN
try's history but one speaker, John w.
Keifer, who served only a single term.
The State of New York has had no
speaker since the close Of the Nine
