Forty-Sixth Congress Of the National party |
have perfected to-day thorough organza-
tlon, and have pledged themselves 10 stand |

grees The exact language OF their resolu-
lion. which was offered by Congressman-elect |
De La Matyr, Ia as follows
Resolued. hat we now pledge ourselves that
we will stand together In the National
party organization In the organization Of
The next House OF Representatives, and
maintain our party organization"
This was adopted uanimously,b by rising vote
OF twelve Congressman elect, who were pres
ent ut to-tIay's conference. These twelve
were. Messrs. Murch and Ladd, " Maine:
T.. Moody Boytpu OF Massachusetts,; Seth

in addition to these. Chairman Devices, OF the

are not mistaken In their claims OF twenty
one membcrs-elect. I'VE depend upon our

was worried. Now, ! am sure that rising vote
| to-day meant business" "Our action to-day"
said another, "is the most important political
move which has been made for years. We

organized party, with million aud q quarter
| of votes behind us. This Is theentering wedge
which will disrupt both OF the old parties
| "Do you intend to nominate candidates for
the Offices of the next House2" we asked Of
another. Most certainly we dor was the
reply. 1--WE shall nominate our men and
4 stand by them. Either OF the other parties
