WASHINGTON, Dec. I1.-A Democratic Senate In
obedience to the fiat of Democratic caucus, has
actually authorized the employment of three Re-
publican messengers TO serve the three committees
of which the chairmen arc Republicans. A man
who should have predicted such a thing previous to
the late elections would have been thought insane
The measure was introduced to-day by Senator
Wallace, the man who was foremost at the extra
session in remanding Republican employees of the
Senate to private life. It was opposed only by
Senator Salisbury. Even the latter based his oppo-
stion upon the principle of economy III public ex-
penditurc of which he has always been consistent
promoter. He expressed his Willingness that the
Republican chairmen should have Republican as
sstants. He wished however. not to increase the
