For eight j ' ears he was a member of tlie Va)-s and Means Committee, of which he was chairman for a short time. He was chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the Fort ' -eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses. While a member of Congress Mr. Tucker exerted great influence over the deliberations of that body.

Mr. Tucker is an orator of great power and generally recognized as the first authority on Constitutional Law in America.

The most famous of these are probably those delivered at Saratoga, in 1877, before the Social Science Association, and at New Haven, before the Yale Law School, 1887, and the two great addresses before the American Bar Association at Saratoga, August, 1892, on British Institutions and American Constitutions, ' and at Milwaukee, August, 1893, as President of the Associa- tion, to which office he had been elected the preceding year.
