New-York tribune., 1876-12-22

The first step toward a compromise is an en-
cOuraging one. The composition OF the Senate
Committee is such that the parties within the
parties are all fairly represented, and the
minority are allowed the services of some Of
their best members. Indeed, if either of the
parties has any reason to complain of its rep
resentatves it is certainly not the Democrats.
Mr.. Thurman and Mr.. Bayard are undOubt-
cdly the ablcst men the minority have on the
floor of the Senate, and Mr.. Ransom, though
he is rather one Of those who is led than
one of those who leads, is SOutherner
of high character and moderate views. This
fairness in the treatment of the minority
Speaker Randall promises TO reciprocate in the
appointment of the House Committee, allowing
the Republicans one more member than most
Of the Democrats have heretofore been dis
posed to cOncede The negotiations toward
compromise begin, therefore, with spirit Of
fairness apparently prevailing on both sides.
There will be need Of it all.
