nounced the standing committees. Mr..
Bayard, of Delaware, said, on behalf of the
minority of the Senate, he desired to ex-
press regret that upon the Committee Of
Finance, numbering nine members, that they
had not been allowed the same proportion
which the sense OF justice on the part of the
majority had given the minority on other
committees at this time, considering the i'm
portance of the duties of that committee.
Considering the number of the minority on
the floor, and their share of responsibility
in molding legislation in regard to finances,
the ratio deeme by the majority and minor
ity a just one upon other committees should
prevail upon this committee. He understood,
however, that two members of the Finance
Committee-the Senator from Illinois, Mr..
Logan, and the Senator from Nevada, Mr..
Jones, would be here soon, and upon their
arrival it was proposed to consider the sub.
