David B. Henderson


 

David Bremner Henderson (March 14, 1840February 25, 1906) was a prominent U.S. politician of the 1890s and 1900s. He served as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1899 to 1903, and served as a Republican from Iowa in the House from 1883 to 1903. That year he resigned his position as Speaker without giving a public explanation; as it was, he was engaging in an affair with the daughter of a senator, although this was not reported publicly at the time. His resignation ushered in the beginning of Joseph G. Cannon's famous tenure as Speaker.
