Opening of the Fifty-First Congress and Senate session
Washington Letter covers the ceremonial opening of Congress with McPherson announcing the session, the election of Speaker Reed, seat draws, and veteran members stepping aside. It notes broad party lines, proposed committee chair appointments, and a vivid mosaic of early congressional ritual. Also mentioned are senate proceedings, British commissioners, tariff reciprocity aims, and a Webster City lighthouse comparison.
