advocating in good faith the policies
which it processes, ever ready TO take
advantage Of the mistakes Of the ma

present speaker Of the house has 10
the best Of his ability and judgment
co-operated with the republican party,
and 80 far in the history Of this con
gress the republican party in the house
has been enabled, by a very small ma
Jority, when the test came, to legislate
in conformity with the policies and
the platform Of the republican party.
