Indignation Of tho Kickers."
Much angry feeling was manifested by
the boiling Republicans when the com.
mittees were announced. The caucus fac.
ton lack five of majority in the whole
Senate, and rs Republicans they number
20, while the anti Oliver party number 12
Yet, the former have two-thirds of the
chairmanships and the absolute control OF
every important business committee, while
on railroads, municipal affairs, corporations,
finance, mines and mining, and public
buildings, the Independent Republicans
have not single representative. In the
committee on congressional, legislative
and judicial appOrti0nment,t the caucus fac
tiOn have members, the Democrats 5, and
the anti-caucus Republicans McCracken,
of Lawrence, and Sill, of Erie. Though
Sill acts with the boilers in obedience to
the wishes of his constituents he is re-
garded as being in personal sympathy
| with the machine. In its geographical
features the partiality of the construction
of the committee is still more apparent.
Eight of its fifteen members are from tho
Western part of the state. Mr.. Cochran,
Democrat, is tho only member of the COM
nittee from Philadelphia. The region
containing the counties of Bucks, Berks,
Chester, Lancaster, Northampton, Lehigh,
Carbon, Monroe. Wayne, Pike, Lacka-
wanna, Luzerne, Lycoming, Columbia, Sus-
quehanna, Bradford and Tioga, comprising
third of the population of the state,
has nor one member Of this important
committee. Mr.. John Stewart, of Frank
lin county, by way of punishment for the
vigor with which he has wrestled with the
machine in this senatorial struggle, is ex-
ciuded from every important committee of
the Senate, though he is one Of it's ablest
members.
