"She need not stay away on that

The Committees.

Mr.. Speaker Blaine has shown his
gratitude to our delegation and the
Iowa press generally fortheir hearty
and unanimous support ofhlm for the
Speakcrship, by putting Allison Sd
on Ways and Means; Smyth Sd on
Militia; Loughridge I'd OH Agricul.
ture, and 7th on Judiciary; McCrary
5th on Naval Affairs; Palmer 9Th on
Pacific Railroad, and Pomeroy away
down near the tail end of the Terri
tories. This is reducing Iowa to the
ranks with vengeance, and is a
simple, undiluted, unmixed infamy.
In the last congress we had Wilson
at the head of the Judiciary Price
of the Pacific Railroad, and Allison
I'd on the Ways and Means, posi-
ton considered better than the chair
manship of an ordinary committee.
Mr.. Blaine ought to know that the
banner Republican State of the Union,
containing twelve hundred thousand
people, with six Representatives, and
a population which will give her six
more at the next census, is entitled
to some rights which Republican
Speaker should be bound to respect,
more especially when she has in her
delegation old members of the pre-
eminent ability and legislative expe-
rience of Loughridge and Allison,
and new ones who in capacity aid
reputation are the peers of any of the
freshmen in tho House.
