The House Caucus,

The caucus of the Republican members of
The House of Representatives was held in
Representative Hall, at the capitol, last even
ing, at 1880 o'clock, every member wearing
the Republican party label present, to-
gether with large number of interested candi-
dates and few spectators, who cooped them
selves up in the little aerial alcove over the
entrance, denominated by courtesy gallery.
FOR an hour there was confusion. and the can
didates were busily engaged in button-holing
the members and urging their claims for politi-
cal preferment. They were busy set and not
ill-looking, although they could not be called
positively engaging. For the most part they
were rather uncouth than otherwise, not def
Gent in cheek. There were a few old stagers
among them, but the majority were making
their first appearance in politics taking their
first lessons in wire-pulling. Those who were
fortunate in securing prizes displayed their
qualification with profuse Misunderstanding, and

WEATHER TO-DAY.
THE ELECTORAL BILL.
Gossip About the Probable 4ctio,, of tn
House.

Gossip About the Probable fiction of the
House.
Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. ]
Mr.. Southland, chairman of the committee
on counting the electoral vote, will try to
bring the House to consideration of the bill
reported from his committee early after the
reassemblitg of Congress. He and other
members of the committee are not very san
guine of the passage of any law at this ses-
sion. The House committee cannot accept
the Edmunds bill, and it is not likely that
the Senate will consent to any measure
which may be sent to them by the House,
and there is not time enough to digest and
perfect measure between now and the 4th
of March. Independent of the objections
that may be urged to the details of any bill
framed by the committee of either house,
there is doubt among many members
whether mere statutory provision, defining
the way In which electoral returns shall be
opened and enumerated, would be binding
upon the Congress which opens, returns and
makes the count. In other words, it is held
that that Congress which actually makes the
count and declares the result could adopt
such rules and regulations as it might see
fit, independent of any law upon the statute
book. The Forty-fourth Congress did this
when it authorized the electoral commission.
Hence it is urged by those who think this
way that it would be useless to pass any act,
but that if any action is taken it should be
in the nature of a constitutional amendment,
which alone would be binding. Mr.. South
ard thinks there is good deal of force in
this suggestion. Nevertheless, he and his
committee want the Judgment of the House
upon their bill, because they regard it as
very desirable that some action should be
taken in advance of the time when The count
is actually upon them. The passage Of an
act would, at least, give succeeding Con-
gress a basis upon which to frame rules of
proceedings, if it did nothing more, and that
would be something gained.
