Commander Dinsmore Installed. ‘The newly elected officers of the Department of the Potomac were installed last evening. The instaliation exercises have been delayed, owing to the efforts of those dissatisfied with the election to secure the passage of a resolu- tion for the investigution of the work of the tellers. A majority, however, were opposed to farther delay, and in spite of ‘dilatory tactics » vote was reached late last evening to proceed to the install ition of the officers. ‘Thus brought to a close the contest that had been going on since the election und a number of those in the minority, in disgust with the result, left the hall, refusing to witness the installation. It is understood that the opposition will be contin- ued and that a protest will be sent to the na- tional encampment against the action of the Runjority. It is asserted by the latter that they had a two-thirds majority of the members of the encampment at the mecting last evening. —— ‘The Kound Table Club.

A BAY AND OTHERS. When ex-Speaker Reed entered the National Rifles’ Hall yesterday evening ne seemed to be the same Tom Heed that Washington has known for years; half an bour later and be seemed larger and more imposing than at any previous period in his history. Before the meeting concluded it might have been possible forakeen-eyed man to see the republican halo which decorated the highly polished and far-reaching brow of him who was once known as “Mr. Speaker,” but who is now congres- mally characterized as the “gentleman from Maine.” Some time ago the National Auxiliary Repub- lican Association tendered Mr, Reed @ recep- tion. He got it Inst night. ‘There was no serious attempt at decoration visible in the hall. Flags were draped on both sides of the stage, covered the temporarily use- Jews piano, and played table cloth beueath an untited silver water pitcher and an undefiled glass. THE DISTINGUISHED GUEST RECEIVED. It was 8:15 when the guest of the occasion was escorted up the center aisle to @ place on the platform. The Marine Band orchestra started to play something justas the ex-Speaker entered, but the musicians were not heard from for at least a minute. More than seven- tenths of the andience seemed to be of opinion that even a good deal of noise fell short of the necessities of the hour, ‘Ten minutes after Mr. Reed had captured a seat on the stage, the chairman, Senator B. W. Perkins of Kansas, was excorted to his place amid # burst of applause that came very near to rivaling the preceding ovation. Between the arrivals of Keed and Perkins came numerous republicans of prominence, all of whom werea ccommodated on the’ epa- cious platform. Among them were Repre- sentative Burrows of Michigan, Senator San- ders, Senator Hansbrough, Representative 8. B. Payne of New York, Representative J. P. Dolliver of Iowa, liepresentative Belknap of Michigan, Mr. T. ‘Carter, commissioner of the general land office; Sixth Auditor T. B. Coulter, iepresentative J.’ D. ‘Taylor of Ohio, Repre- sentative Pickler of South Dakota, Co sioner of Customs 8. V. Holliday, ty Second Auditor J. H. Franklin, First Con- troller Asa C. Matthews and W.'E. Cullen of Helena, Mont. PRESIDENT RAY'S REMARKS. President Ray opened the oratorical proceed- ings. After making brief reference to the weather Mr. Ray sketched the organization under the auspices of which the reception was given. Then he talked of the disungusshed persons present, and succeeded in baving the au- dience go into enthusiastic raptures whenever Mr. Reed's name was mentioned. SENATOR PERKINS’ INTRODUCTION. There was another fusilade of applause when Senator Perkins was introduced as presiding ofiicer, and the Senator was frequently inter- rupted by evidence of popular approval. He said they had met as republicans to congratu- late themselves, the country and the gentleman from Maine. No apologies were iecessary. They had met to give evidence that whether they were led by the present chief executive, who had given such a wise, clean administra tion, or by any other fuvorite son, there would be no question us toa quorum when the votes were counted on November 8. The Senator caused innumerable expressions of delight by tie deseription of the quorum fiction by which aman although corporeally present was un- derstood to be congressionally absent. He re- ferred to the ex-Speaker asa Reed that could not be shaken by democratic bluster, dwelt upon the fact that Mr. Keed’s decision had been sustained by the highest court in the land, and prophesied that it would be overwhelmingly sustained by the people at the polls. REPRESENTATIVE BURROWS’ CONGRATULATIONS. Representative Julius Cmsar Burrows of Michigan—who delivered the congratulatory address—was most warmly received. He had not, he said, promised to be present, but the committee in charge had put him on the program, and, kuowing Mr. Reed's hubit, he thought he might as well put in an appearance, for he would be counted anyhow. When the laughter brought forth by this utterance had died away Mr. Burrows said thet while democrats, as a mnatter of pride, might not immediately aunounce their belief in Mr. Reed’s methods they would have to come to them betore long. Mr. Reed bad inaugurated agrest parliamentary revolution. Up. to that time the minority in the House had ruled the majority. Filibustering was common, and its supporters had suid of Mr. Reed ‘that he might lead the horse to water, but he could not make him drink. ‘That state- ment was an error. The speaker not only led the animal to the trough but, the animal went away with a sense of fullness which lett the im- pressionhat he had actually imbibed. A strong arm and a brave heart were required to accom- plish the needed reform; the arm and the heart re theré. ‘Lhe time would come when the majority would rule in the state and the nation. LETTER FROM THE HOME MARKET CLUB. Concluding, Mr. Burrows read the following letter from the secretary of the Home Market Club: ‘Home Market Club, Boston, March 7. “Hon.

Hats, umbrelias and canes were waved with partisan vigor; one elderiy lady was so excited that she whirled ber bonuet around her heal in never-tiring circles. Had the ex-Speaker been facing an aggrega- tion of mummies he could not have maintained greater imperturbability. He did noteven smile. He just louked at that highly intelligent audi- ence as though he might be saying, “When you stop that notse I will begin my speech.” After awhile the noise stopped and then Mr. Reed said: Mr. President, Indies and gentlemen: Only one year ago lust Friday, only one short year ago, on March 4, 1891, I ad occasion to ad- dress an august assembly in the presenco of many spectators. The republicam party lad been called upon to submit to the greatest dis- aster but ove in all its history. All that parti- san malice could do had been‘done. Reproach, clamor, recrimination and derisive epithet were at high tide on every shore and seemed to be roiling inward still.

REPRESENTATIVE PAYNE. “One of the working members of the Fifty- first and the present Congress,” ssid Senator Perkins, and Representative Sereno B. Payne of New York bowed to the audience. It had been recently said, remarked, Mr. Payne, that a statesman was a successful poli- tician who was dead. The exception proved the rule anda notable exception was present— statesman who was very much alive. This could be proven by the democratic party or b: so much of that party as was left after it col- lided with the gentleman from Maine on the previous day. One of the many good things done by the Fifty-first Congress was the elec- tion “as Speaker of @ good man who weighed 230 pounda, _‘Subsequont events showed that 2290 pounds of that avoirdupois was backbone. If the Senate had kept up its end the record of the Fitty-firet Congress would have been of the brightest. He insisted that what was termed the “force bill” was as necessary in New York as in North Carolina and Mississippi. ‘Then he talked rather warmly of the manner in which the New York democracy came into possession of the state senate and characterized David Benuett Hill as the chief conspirator. Mr. Hill's name was greeted with hisses. It would be demonstrated next November, said Mr. Payne, no political burglar conld ‘break into the White House. The next House of Repre- sentatives would be republican and it would round out the work of the Fifty-first Congress. REPRESENTATIVE J. P. DOLLIVER. Representative J. P. Doliiver of iowa made very humorous and acceptable speech. He told of the shock he experienced when his ideas of the government and the real govern- ment came into collision. It was astartling revelation to find out that the government con- sisted of a number of people diligently engaged in drawing their salaries. He became remi- niscent as to the Filty-tiret Congress, and suid he was in the House when the Speaker decided that the oly way to tell how many people were in the House was to count them. He had been in many political conventions, many circuses aud bad engaged in more than one fist tight, but his experience had never touched ‘anything like the scene in the hall that day. He watched the strife for a while and said, “There goes the government of the United States,” With the demouiac yells of the democracy ringing in his ears, he walked over to the Supreme Court. ‘That rested him. The chief justice of the United States was en- gaged in delivering an opinion in a patent case involving the right to manufacture shoe pegs. ‘The calm was delightful. Then he went into the Senate, where four Senators were listen- ing, with’ more or Jess attention—generally less—to another Sehator who was read- ing from manuscript a speech on the necessity for uniform divorce laws, while thirty-four other Senators were solemnly deliberating in the cloak rooms. He went back to the House refreshed and convinced that if the House was trying to destroy the government of the United States it had at least a triangular contract. A marked feature in the Fifty-first House was the superiority of brains over noise. He would never forget how Jobn G. Carlisle, with that statesman-like and spiritual pallor on his coun- tenance, climbed into a chair and announced tothe Speaker his inability to hear what was geing on because of the noise. Nor would he ever forget how the Speaker said: ‘The gentle- man from Kentucky will bear witness that it is not the Speaker who is making the noise.” Mr. Doiliver asserted that the faith of the republican party in Thomas B. Reed was stronger than ever. The people had been de- ceived by democratic outers, but they could not be deceived again, ‘*On one occasion,” said he, “my colleague, Judge Reed, who was swept away by thecyclone,aud I went to the cir- cus together. Men whoare burdened with affairs of state need a good deal of tresh air and recre- As we neared the entrance to the show a wan tried to sell us tickets, “Buy them here,’ said he, ‘and avoid the rush.’ The judge in- spected the pastebourd carefully, aud as be handed it Lack to the fellow said, ‘Young man, Just fifty years ago 1 pnrebased ticket in the same way and avoided both the rush and the show.’ * Mr. Dolliver touched lightly upon democratic Propositions as to legislative reform. The country wanted none of them. They reminded him of'a card which had been handed him by a boy on Pennsylvania avenue the osher day. ‘The card read: “A sure cure for neuralgia and rheumatism. Is a positive and permanent cure in its most aggravated form.” That was @ democratic remedy. ‘the quorum decision had left the democratic party without stock in trade. He was reminded of the man who was perambulating the streets with a bunch of toy balloons. ‘Ihe string parted, and asthe bal- joons doated skyward the voice of the dealer was heard above the tumult of the street: “My God! ‘here goes my business.” It seemed for some time as though the audience never would get through laughing at the balloon story. Mr. Keed came daugerously near being convulsed. Mr. Doiliver concluded by assuring his hear- ers that he joined heartily with them in “this tribute to the acutest intellect of the republi- can party—Lhomas B. Ree REPRESENTATIVE PICKLER'S TALE. “I never voted for but one man for Speaker of the House of Representatives. I voted for him twice and Iam ready to vote for hi any office in the gift of the people of the Uni States.” Representative Pickler of South Dakota said that and he was loudly applauded. Continuing, Mr. Pickler said he had followed Grantand Sherman through the war of the rebellion and he had followed Reed in the Pifty-first Congress. He was as proud of tho latter as of the former experiences. It was be- coming respectable to have been a member of the Fity-tirst Congress. He had a boy and if that boy in years to come should ever make political speechos he trusted he wonld never forget to be proud of the fact that his father was a member of the billion-dollar Congress. ‘The pension legislation of the Fifty-first Con- gress was eulogized, and then Mr. Pickler re- tired in favor of the orchestra. 3 SHAKING THE EX-SPEAKER'S HAND. Then everybody wanted to shake hands with the ex-Speaker, so the big man from Maine went down to the front of the stage and ac- commodated the multitude. Compliments were numerous, but Mr. Reed answered most of them with diplomatic bows. One old man said: “I'm from Massachusetts; you're on the top wave.” “Here's the sixth Another one exclaimed: district of Maryland—or at least a part of it.” Biaine’s in it,” said a third. “[ hope to vote for you for President,” was the fricndly expreasion of an enthusinst. “I hope you will be our next President,” came from asturdy buckeye. “Four years ago I expressed my choice for you for President,” commenced sn elderly Il- lincisan. The crowd shoved him along before he could say any more, so Mr. Reed may nevor know how that man stands at this time. ‘Minnesota wants to join in,” opened up tall man from the northwest, but the relent and corn crushing multitude whirled him past before he could suy more. “| apureciate your backbone,” said one man, who looked as though he needed « little of it himself. ‘Your speech wasnot half long enough,” said ‘iend. lenty,” responded Mr. Reed. “I don’t want to compete with dancing.” “Iam from silver state,” confided one big fellow, “‘and I hope to have the pleasure of tak: ing your hand at the White House.” “i want you to shake two republican hands,” said an old gentleman, and he hid a pair of No. ten hands and several inches of forearm in the ex-Speaker's gigantic gavel holder. When the reception ended the floor was cleared of chairs and dancing commenced. Mr. Reed did not dance. ree UPresbyterial Home Missionary Society.
