Un'animousl y Ilenemlnated For Speak-

N0 CHANGES IN THE RULES.
Walker's Resolution For a Committee on
Revision Snowed Under—Joseph W.
Bailey of Texas NominatedFor
Speaker by 112119 Democrats.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-—The caucus of
the Republican members of tho Fifty-fifth
congress voted by Reclamation to whom-
inate ox-Spoakcr Reed and all the officers
of the last house to sorvc during the Fifty-
fifth congress. Tho slate chosen fOIIOWS:
Thomas B. Reed, Speaker; Rev. Henry M.
Coudon, chaplain; 'Aloxander McDowell,
clerk; Benjamin F. Russell, sergeant-at-
urrns; W. J. Glenn, doorkooper; Joseph C. '
McElroy, postmaster.
In acknowledging the nomination Mr.
Reed said: “Gentlemen, I am greatly
gratified by your kind action, and ‘I
TITO}! AS B REED.
Shall try to serve your wishes with what;-
cver ability I have.
“We have again, as in the last congress,
a politically divided logislativo power.
The house of representatives will be Re~
publican by r. considerable majority, and,
fresh from the people, will endeavor to
carry out their wishes. I do not doubt
your determination to do all in your pow-
cr to bring this session of cOngrcss to a
speedy close. Our duty is Simple, and the
people expect us to perform it at once and
then leave to them the recovery of the
country from the stagnation and depres-
sion of business which have so sorely tried
the patience of a vigorous, growing people.
“What others may see fit to do we do
not know, but we have strong hopes that
all branches of the government will be in
accord as to .thc policy Of giving to the
people imincdiatoly whatever relief their
wisdom may devise. ”
Mr. Walker and several others then
clamorcd for recognition. but Mr. W. A.
Stone of Pennsylvania made a motion to
adjourn, which drew from Mr. Millikcn
of Maine 1‘. protest that ill a Republican
caucus all who desired to speak should be
heard, so Mr. Stone withdrew his motion.
Mr. Walker prefaced his remarks with a.
motion for the. selection of a committee
of seven, of which the speaker Should be
chairman, to revise the rules of the house.
Mr. Walker’s speech was tcinpcrntc in
tone. Ho represented that there was a
general fooling among the members that
the rules did not permit that freedom of
action by the majority which was desira-
blo in a Republican body.
A fiery speech by one of the youngest
members, Mr. Mahany of New York, fol-
lowed. Thc whole tendency of the house
rules was despotic, Mr. Mahany declared,
and in conclusion he said, “I warn new
members that it is an invariable trick of
leaders of the house. 3le constituted and
otherwise, to move the temporary adop-
tion of the rules of the last house, and
when oncc adopted it is harder to move
them than to move Mount Aotna, and un-
der them new members will find it impos-
sible to represent their constituents.”
There was an exchange of sharp person-
alities between Mr. Mohany and Mr. Pit-
ncy of New Jersey. The rules were de-
fended by Mr. Cannon of Illinois and 0th-
crs, and Mr. Walker’s motion was buried
undo-r an overwhelming vote. After rc-
solving that :' il Signed by 25 instead of
15 members 5.. .2 id be necessary to secure
a. caucus the caucus adjourned.
\ Bailey the Democratic Leader.
The Democratic members of the house
in caucus nominated Joseph W. Bailey 01
Texas for Speaker. Although the selection
was of no Significance except in recogniz-
ing the nominee us the minority leader,
there was quite a Spirited contest for the
nomination. There were 108 votes in the
caucus. J. D. Richardson, who had been
a candidate for speaker, withdrew. He

was elected chairman of the caucus. Mr.
Bailey was placed in nomination by Mr.
1165506 by Mr. Muguire of California and
Richard P. Bland by Mr. Terry of Arkan-
sas. Several speeches seconding the nom-
inations were made. On roll call the vote
stood: Bailey, 515: MoMlllin, 30: Bland,
22. The nomination was made unani-~
The iollowing nominations were made .
to be recommended to thoRopublican cau-
cus for minority offices, which are usually
accorded: Isaac Hill of Ohio, George
Browning of Virginia. F. B. Knight of
Georgia and James English of California.
A resolution which was then offered
by Mr. Dockery for the appointment of a
steering committee to act withthe senate
committee and confer on party policy was
agreed to, and Messrs. Richardson of Ten-
nessee, Dockory of Missouri, _Hinrlchsen
of Illinois, Snyres of Texas, Holman of
Indiana and McRac of Arkansas were ap-
pointed.

When the stomach and bowels are Wrong
what seems a. mere trifle, blocks the
whole system. Every part of the body
feels the effects of a little constipation.
The head aches, the mouth tastes bad;
the stomach is distressed, the liver is con-
gested and torpid; you feel sluggish and
miserable and down-hearted; the energies
are completely paralyzed—all for want of
a little help to regulate the stomach and
bowels. What you want is Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets. They will make you
regular and you keep 50; they act in a
comfortable natural way, not violently but
surely. They give the intestines power
to move naturally; and also tone the
stomach and liver. You don’t‘become a
slave to their use, they cure you so you
stay cured. If a druggist makes more
money on some violent purging pill he
may try to sell it to you. Don’t let him.
You will be helped to a thorough understand-
ing of your own body in every stage of health
and disease by Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Med.
