Tor the final results. Three times in
the history Of the government there
have been prolonged contests over the
election of a speaker Twice it took
three months and once it required two
months and half to elect tnL
speaker. The first long was in 1851,
when Howell Cobb of Georgia was
elected speaker after a fight lasting
more than two months, during which
no party could get a majority
Was Hot Contest.
The fights which lasted three
months ended in the election of Gov
ernor pennington of New Jersey in
1860 and General Banks of Massa-
chusetts in 1856. The struggle was
hot in both these contests and they.
were only determined after the house
had adopted q resolution which pro,
Vided that only ten more ballots be
taken and If on the tenth ballot no
candidate had majority, the man
who had the plurality should be de-
clared elected. 1t was agreed that
enough members would change their
votes after the tenth ballot to give
the candidate with the plurality the
legal majority.
Tho most iteresting of these con-
tests was that in 1886. John Sher-
man, Republican, of Ohio was the
leading candidate, Every time Sher-
man would appear 20 be near of elec-
