have about tired of predicting when
Speaker Randall will appoint his commit
tees. 1t is said he had them all prepared
several days ago, but hesitates to present
them, because he desires to stave off gener-
al legislation, which will begin as soon as the
organization is completed. But the soft
money Democrats and Greenbackers are
clamoring for action, and the speaker and
his friends will not be able much longer to
resist them. The majority of the Demo

to the civil officers. Mr.. Blackburn, of
Kentucky, followed with very able
speech from the Democratic standpoint
which excited great enthusiasm from the
Democratic side. But after all everybody

ployes at once, and he will retain the Re-
publican officials in many places probably
through the extra session. The Demo
cratic Office seekers are of course disap-
pointed but it cannot be helped. Colonel
Burch may regret that he cannot help all
his party friends, but he will not sacrifice
the public business for party.
