room. when Mr.. Randall and Mr.
Blackburn, speaking for their party
declared their unaltered opposition to
the rules, and declared that, rather than
submit TO their adoption, they would
sit throughthe summer and to the end
of congress. They took the position
that the rules were drafted in the inter-
est Of the republican contestantsin sew
eral of the contested election cases. the
Grant bill, the admission of Dakota, the
various subsidy schemes. and wasteful
appropriations in general. The COM
mittee asked their democrat associates
to prepare a substitute for the Reed rule
which would express their party view
and Blackburn and Randall promised
TO do so. though Mr. Randall said subse-
quently that he did not expect it would
be accepted. Here the matter stands
at present.
