INVITES COALITION TO DECLARE
SPEAKERSHIP VACANT.
Democrats Accept Defi-Their Resolution
Vseating the Speakership Voted
Down Amid Wild Scenes.

Wsshington.-Speaker Joseph 6. Can
non as political entity, and Cannonism
as exemplified by the speaker, were
ground TO PIECES in revolution in the
house of representatives Saturday.
BY vote OF 1871 to 1855 the allied in
surgent Republicans and the Democrats
ousted him from the committee on rules.
through which he had welded his great
est power, and enlarged that committee
from five to ten members.
BY the same vote reverscd-i5j to iei
the house. however. declined to take
the speakers chair away from Mr.. Can.
non.
Not only were Cannon and his staunch
supporters outvoted. but they were out
generated and outfought. And not only
were they given the most humiliating re-
pudiation that any leaders of the house
have ever suffered, but they were made
to taste the bitter medicine they have
so often administered when they had the
party lash and the fear of party excom-
munieation to help them to achieve ruth
less victory.
For the sneaker himsaIf ihaa...h he
died. as he often said he would when hfs
tsaaa came. with his boots on, he had
the courage. the audacity, or whatever
il may be called. to retort to the vote
that discredted and repudiated him with
defiance of those who had crushed him
and literally dared them To follow up
their victory and throw him out OF the
speakers chair
Also the speakers old guard fought
with equal bravado to the end. Braced
by the speaker himself. they made the
best showing possible under the heart
breaSlng circumstances, and when the
speaker uttered his final words to his
enemies, they stood up and cheered him
as though they had won the great battle
of their lives, instead OF having lost that
battle.
II was a history-making session OF the
house that brought about the defeat of
Cannon. Its like was never beheld be-
fore; none of those who took part in the
fight remember the occasion or an occa-
sion that approached that OF Saturday
in Importance And no session OF this
generation OF legislators approached IL,
either in the intense excitement, the wild
disorder, the bitterness of feeling or the
intense partisanship that was displayed.
