WASHINGTON. Now 2a-Air. Blaine
has so far no REGULAR opposition for Speaker.
Mr., MsyGard may have a few votes, but all
Parties concede Blaine's election. THERE'S
a good deal of dissatisfaction in regard TO
the organization of committees under him
and the previous Speaker, upon the ground
that the East has had the lions share. The
Western and Southern members are de-
manding more recognition, but there is no
time to organize an opposition TO Mr.. Blaine
ON this basis. He refuses to indicate in
any way how he will organize the commit
tees, ard viii continue silent until after
his electiom
IN respect to MeSSrs. Dawes, Garfield and
Others, implicated in the Credit Mehi,ier
transaction, it is believed tltst the caucus
of Saturday night reXt will promptly table
any resolve that may be offered designed
te exclude them from prominent positions,
and Mr.. Blaine will readily accept this &C
ton of the caucus as an instruction from
the Republican authority OF the House,
and proceed TO give these members their
old places. The reappointment of Messrs.
Dawes, Garfield and Schofield is, therefore,
highly probable, even if the Democratic eau
Gus shall protest against it. In the case
of other appointments, Mr. Blaine will GER
tainly study his Interests as a Presidential
candidate. The idea that he will give all
the leading appointments on the commit
tees to old members is regarded as very inn
probable, i'm view of the fact that such
prominent members as VIM. Lawrence, of
Ohio; Lyman Trehiaine, of New York;
Godloye 5. Orth, of Indiana; John A. Kas-
son, of Iowa, are added to the Republican
forces, while Onthe Democratic side Messrs.
Hugh I. Jewett, of Ohio; Alex. II. Ste
phens, of Georgia, and Lucius Q. c. La
mar, of Mississippi, are among the new
members, to say nothing Of others, and pro
badly also to the giving out OF members
aud Senators whe have reached here.
