Ex Speaker Reed Dominates Quorum Debate and Tariff Fights
Washington dispatch notes Reed easily takes the lead as a steady force on quorum rules while Democrats push to count present members and compel attendance. The tariff bill debate splits Republicans and Democrats, with Voorhees and Hill clashing, and Barnes Compton seeks shelter in the shifting political winds amid 1890s credit and graft chatter. A 1728 Boston newspaper relic is unearthed, detailing a quaint 20 by 15 inch issue with English news and a household servant ad.
