serve better the welfare of all the peo-
pie, and also to insure the election of

gress working in harmony with him,
am writing you to ask your support
Of my candidacy for the speakership of
the Sixty first congress upon the fol-
lowing platform.
&c The house of representatives shall
elect board of managers consisting of
seven members, which shall be charged
