were determined that even this fragment
should not have proper representation
upon the committees. Of the less than
dozen Democratic Senators, representing
over seventeen hundred thousand voters,
the Republican caucus determined to ex-
clude two-McDougall of California and
Salisbury of Dclaware-from all the COM
mittees, while Mr.. Guthrie ot Kentucky,
who has served with distinction as Secre-
tary of the Treasury and is everywhere
recognized as an able fnancier and a
statesman of enlarged views aud great
experience, is placed last on the Commit
tee on Finance! He is also placed last on
the Committee on Mining and one other
committee. Such an intolerant and pros

be condemned by all right thinking men
