Since caucus rules oblige all Republicans to vote for him when the official vote of the full House occurs in January, Wilkins' actual election is just a formality. The new Republican majority in the House has prompted many historical questions: Has there ever been a Republican Speaker before? Have the Republicans ever held the House before? The answers, it turns out, are not exactly black-and-white. Virginia had the shortest period of Reconstruction of all the former Confederate states and many of the Republicans were former Democrats, the most notable being the legendary Confederate cavalry officer John Singleton Mosby. There was never a true Republican House even under Reconstruction, only -- and for only four years (1879-83) -- a coalition government of Republicans and "Readjustors" -- people, mostly former Democrats, who wanted to reduce the amount of war reparations the federal government was demanding. For the last two of those years a Republican did serve as Speaker. His name was Isaac Chapman Fowler, the former mayor of Bristol in Southwest Virginia. Democrats ran the House for the next 116 years. By the way, when Wilkins was first elected to the House in 1977, he became only the 25th Republican in the 100-member chamber. ~Tiresias Congratulations to media consultant Peter Fenn of Fenn & King Communications.
