Famous Democratic
Leader

Washington, D. C., Dec. 8.—Judg"
William M. Springer, of IlllnolB, one
of the leading members of the house
of representatives from the Forty
fourth to the Fifty-third congress
where ho obtained a na'.lonal reputa
tion, who die in this city last week
was sixty seven years old, having been
born in 1836, and is survived by a
widow and one son, Chaplain Ruter
W. Springer, U. S. A., stationed at
Fort Washington, both of whom were
at the bedside when ho died.
Became III on Thanksgiving Day.
Judge Springer's Illness was con-
trac ed on Thanksgiving day in Chi-
cago, where he had been engage I for
Borne time as counsel fur the sanlUry
«Ustriot of Chicago nn-l the state of
Illinois In the drainage canal case.
He returned to his home in thin city
about a week ago, and his condition
grew rapidly worse.
Judge Springer was born In Indiana,
but removed to Illinois at an early
ag?. In 1872 he entered politics In
that state, and was elected to the leg-
islature. As a member of the judici-
ary committee he took an active part
In the affairs of the lower house, and
laid the foundation for service in th
national law making body. Ho wa
elected to congress from the Sprinrr
field district in 1874, and so great was
the confidence of his constituents in
him and so valuable his services tha
he was re urned for nine successive
terms.
Always n Democrat, he advocate.!
the adoption of a revenue measure for
tariff only, and the tariff question en
gaged the greater part of his atten-
tion. He was especially interes ed In
wool schedules. He was a member
of the commission which investigated
the alleged frauds of the presidential
election of 1876 an . a member of the
subcommittee which visited Florida
in 1878. He reported articles of im-
peachment agains George F. Seward,
then minister to China, and investi-
gated the consular offices of the
United States, exposing loose prac-
tices.
Chairman of Ways and Means.
He was chairman of the committee
on ways and means of Ihe house. He
is credited with having led the move-
ment against the McKinley tariff which
resulted In the Democratic victory
-which brought a second presidential
term to Craver Cleveland. As chair-
man c* other committees, Judge
Springer brought to his work a neal
and energy second to none, and It was
said of him more than of any mem-
ber of congress, that he c:mld make
the work cf a small and apparently
Insignificant committee of the utmost
Importance.
Judge Springer's iast term In con-
gress expired March 3, 1895, and he
was appointed chief justice or the
court of appeals of Indian territory
•and judge of the United States court
of the northern district of the terri-
tory. His term expired In 181)9. and
he returned to Washington, where.

Drew Famous Retort from Reed.
It was during one of Mr; Springer's
speeches that ho drew from Reed,
then an ex-speaker and leader of the
Republican minority, one of the Maine
man's most fr.inous rejoinders. Spring
r was declaring that he counted him j
self and certain of his associates in i
the class of men who preferred to be |
in the right, and cited how Henry Clay
had once announced tha he preferred
co be right than to he president.
"Mr. Speaker," retorted Reed, In
that sarcastic voice for which he be-
came famous, "the gentleman from
Illinois will never be either."
Judge Springer, as a lawyer resi-
dent in Washington for the last lew
years, h-.i been identified with many :
Important latters. He prepared a bill I
to prevent he use of shoddy In cloth-j
ing, which was Introduced by Gon.'
Grosvenor, who, although of the op-
posite faith, was one of'judge Spring-
er's stanch friends. The judge intend-
ed to prepare an article about the use
of shoddy, which would probably have
been reproduced in the congressional
record. The friends of the measure
say there was no o'her man living so
fully equipped with Information to
write it.
Af er his term as territorial judge
had expired he ha] lost his political
Influence, as happens to many ex-mom
bers of Ihe house. He lived unosten-
tatiously here In Washington, and did
not take a very active interest in the
hurly-burly of politics.
