Secretary Chandler denounces as a

written or sent by him:
New YORK, November s.

lSigned] L CHASDLER.
A prominent Democrat of the House,
while fsvoring the plan of the
joint committee as basis for the set
tlement of the electoral question, says
that a member of his party will INTRO
duce an amendment before il gains their
support. The amendment is in the direc-
tion of Judicial feature of the bill.
The Democratic caucus to morrow
will further consult upon the subject.
and will probably arrive at a conclusion
as to the course they will pursue. There

who do not give the bill their unqusli-
fed approval, and there are members
who Internationally approve it. All
want the subject fully discussed before
the final action. The general impress
sion is that both Houses will agree on
some plan for settling all the questions
connected with the electoral vote.
InFN kaa ,AI hnr
that the Nichols government of Louisi.
ana, through Judge Houston, has en-
joined the old Kellogg State tax COL
ectors from turning over their moneys TO
the Kellogg State collector, johnson,
who WAS returned elected. These collec-
tors are now in New Orleans for the
purpose of making their final returns
from their several parishes.
General Augur having yesterday re-
ins sted the old State Librarian re-
moved by Nichols, it is believed
BY the Louisiana Republicans
in Washington that proper
maintainance of the statu quo will re-
quire interposition by the National
authorities IN the collectors case as well
as that OF the Librarian. The monies are
required to subsst the charity hospital,
the public schools and the administration
OF the State. Marshal Pitkin has just
presented the matter to the President,
and urged that to maintain both the
statu quo and to preserve these public
monies from being squsndered, action
should be taken by him.
Tie Morrison committee has returned
from New Orleans, and will resume theic
sessions in Washington to morrow
morning. Marshal Pitkin will be the
first witness.

There seems 10 have been some oppo-
s.lon to caucus developed within the
lsst few days, but, from what We can

We DO not know the grounds upon which
the opposition Is based, but We do know
that the caucus system is Democratic

years in the history Q: or Government,
and the benefits OF the system were so

Is Of the utmost Importance that party

chance for our enemies 10 make =
