soon after the accession Of President
Tyler aud the dissolution Of President
Harrison's cabinet Mr.. StAnberry, late
attorney general, was accompanied by
his bashfui friend, MIR. Leonard, who
Immediately retired to a corner and
selected this gilded tribe as a resting
place. In order to withdraw still far
Their from notice he tilted the frail
structure backward. Down it went,

bench. The Illinois delegation in the
house is, naturally, for Cannon TO a
man. Illinois is his state. The Indi.
ana members of the house are in an
embarrassing position. There is scarce.
ly man of them whose heart is not
with Cannon, but so long as they are
members of the Fairbanks machine
they feel that they cannot officially
line up their state with Cannon until
Fairbanks withdraws There is
movement on foot to bring this result
about.
The Ohio members of the house DO
not feel at liberty to declare for Can
non at this time. The obstacle is Sen.
ator Foraker, who has the presidential
bee in his bonnet, although 1t is al
most foregone conclusion that his
nomination would lead to a terrific de-
feat of the Republican party. Foraker
has come out as candidate, however,
and that will probably tie the hands
of the Ohio members.
Speaker Cannon holds the age rec
ord for speakers. When he took his
seat as speaker the first time Mr.. Can
non was 81 years old. Even at that
age he was two years older than his
oldest predecessor at his retirement
William Pennington of New Jersey
who was speaker Of the S6th congress
from 1859 to 1861 was 65 years old
when he stepped down. He died the
following year.
The tendency of late years seems to
have been toward selecting older speak
ers. Previous to the Civil War of %
speakers only Pennington, Jonathan
Trumbull. who was 81, and John Var.
rum, who was 81, were over so years
when they were elected, and there
were a number of rather youthful pre-.
siding officers.
Counting Galusha A. Crow, who pre-
sided during the struggle, there have
