The Republican Senator's will not fill
buster against the Senate organization to-
morrow, but they will require an enforce
ment of the rules. Under the rules, un-
less unanimous consent Is given, the COM
mlttees are chosen by ballot, and it takes
two ballots Tor each committee. BY this
process the progress will be slow There
Is considerable dissatisfaction among some
OF the Democrats at the places assigned
them and q good deal of grum bling. In
caucus yesterday, when Camden, of West
Virginia, was proposed for the Finance
Committee, there was great Indignation
Camden Is connected with the Standard
Oil Company, Is President of National
bank and represents the B. & o. Railroad.
The Democrats in the Caucus declared
that to put him on the Finance Commit
lee was simply giving monopolleS an IN
crease of power. After some fuss Cam
den was taken eff the committee. The
Democrats have no intimation from Ma
hone, but most of then give him up to
tine Republicans. The Republican Sena-
Tors openly declare their purpose to reor-
RaniZe when their vacancies are filed if
the Democrats crowd through the present
organization. and this is generally con-
srued to mean that Malone has indicated
10
and act with them. The feeling among
the Democrats to-day Is that they will not
hold the organization of Congress even if
they do get it.
