TIE COMPLEXION OF THE COMMITTEE.
THE SPEAKER COMPLIED TO APPOINT Mr.. FAULK-
NER OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES GOOD RECORD
THE SENATE APPOINTMENTS.
lFpoN THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF TILE TRIBUNE. !
ALBANY, March 2G.-Speaker Mcclure, Of
course Will not be entitled 10 appoint his Legisa-
tive Committee until Monday night, when the
resolution as passed in the Senate has been returned
to the House. He has until that time, and longer 1t
he chooses to take il, TO think names and con-
suit with his colabOrers in the Ring The friends OF
reform have to be very thankful for the Par
liamentary rule. however which requires the ap-
pointment of the mover of the resolution as chair
man of the committee. This will compel Speaker
Mcclure to name Mr. Faulkner of Livingston. chair
man of the committee. and although some. doubt
may attach to his motives III Offering the resolution,
he is said by Republican members of both
Houses to be honest, and. what is equally neces-
sary in the position in which he will lind HIM
self placed-cOurageOus. His record Is clear. No
suspcion of ring faint has heretofore attached 70
him and he is young enough III politics to feel a
strong concern Tor the future. Mr.. Faulkner Is
about Il years Of age, is graduate OF YALE resides
at Dausville where he Is connected with The bank
ing interest, and is cultured beyond the average
Assemblyman Mr. Mcclure NAV, and doubtless
will appoint four Mcclure men on the committee,
but it is strongly believed that with Faulkner at the
head that committee will never make their white
washing report unanImOus The rule requiring the
appointment of the mover of a resolution as chair
man of the committee created by the resolution
IA not mandatory in many words.
But ii has been custom of SO many years stand
ing that memory does not lead back to time when
il was otherwise. No instance Of departure from
the rule is on record, and it has become by uncha-
lenged acquiescence, like the common law of more
binding force than the written statutes. For Mr.
McGuire 10 depart from it in the present instance
would be to hasten and render more disastrous his
own downfall. II is suspected that Mr.. Faulkner
offered the resolution in order that he might com
mand the Craftsmanship Of the committee, and 1t Is
a goful instance of the panic which had overtaken
the Canal Ring that they felt some relief in the
prospect of a committee even with such chairman.
ANYTHING, they argued, to get itaway rom the Gov
ernOr.
In the Senate the appointment of the three mem
beers of the Joint Committee rests with tine Senate
itself the presiding officer having no reserved OF
inaienable rights in that respect. The Senate may
with equal propreUy name It's three appointees In
its resolution or permit the LieutenantGoyernort to
do So It il conceded IN either case that two
Republicans and one Democrat will be appointed
the right of majority Of the appointments resting
by law with the party of the majority, notwIth-
standing the fact that the presiding officer belongs
to the minority.
