IT is shi ewdly in,;nated tlat
Speaker Kerr knew what he Yves
about when he appointed the Stand
ing Committees. Hehad a policy Of
his own, in behalf of his friead Gov
ernor Hendricks, of Indiana. AS
has Leen observed, a large majoi;ty
of the Chairmanships we,e given to
Western and Southern men, while
the Eastern end Northern men came
in mainly for second or ordinate po-
si,ions. This disposition OF t'le costs
of homo. in the House means a Wee
tern and Southern combination, as
against tie other sections, in the
coming lace for the Democratic
nomination for The Presidency. In
other woids, it is Hendricks against
Tilden. AS tae 5outh and West
combined aave TIE government of
the House in their hands, tie Moth
and East must gril and bear thrust
ing to the future for such develop
ments as may enable them to ride
on the topmoSt we've.
On the other hapd u is cleimed
that, while Speaker Kerr gave the
much-coveted Ways and Meaus
Craftsmanship to Morrison, of Hin
OILS, out of consideration for the lat
ter's services in the Speakership cam
paign, he did not intend to confer
the leadership upon him but, fol-
lowing the precedent set by the Re-
publicans, when Garfield was made
Chairman of Ways and Means, and
Thad. Stevens Chairman of Appro-
priations, the latter becoming the Re
publican leader, he has really made
Randall the leader of the Democracy
on The floor by putting him at toe
head of the Appropriation Commit
tee.
