WASHINGTON, D. G., December 12.-Two
prominent Democrats have left Washing
ton feeling that there are branches Of theil
party that are destitute Of gratitude. They
are ex.Representative Flower, Of New
York, and the Hon. Frank JONES. OF New
Hampshire. Both stand in the front ranks
OF the party, and both contribute very
largely Of money, influence and actual
work 10 kesuccess Of the party. 1t Is eaid
that Mr.. Flower put $4,000 in the last
Congressional campaign, and did as much
as any other man, probably, TO Boom up
the majority to where 1t now is In the
House. These gentlemen come here during
the early part Of the organization Of the
House, and wanted some positions ior
friends. They got none. They were told
that they were ex-members, and that nc
place would be put at the disposal Of any
but those having actual representation.
They expostulated, but they failed to be
recognized in the division OF spoils. They
left the city realizing, as one member put
it, that "the man who strikes the bush
catches no bird"
The organization OF the House has ei.
iected, or will, an almost entire change Of
employees. The soldiers roll under the
Door.keeper-flled by crippled veterans
remains intact, and now and then one
finds man still In his place, but there
will be very few that will be here after the
holiday. Probably the only man that will
remain on q House committee will be Col.
onel Stevens, on Appropriations. His Is 9
difficult position to till, and experience is q
sufficient guarantee Of permanence.

to Philadelphia and ex Senator Chaffee was
conceded the Chairmsuship, but when
credentials come to be evoked this morn.
irg it was found that Chafee's proxy was
liable 10 cancellation at any time and his
friends at once decided 10 90 for Sabin,
who is said to be Logan man.
The friends Of the present administers
ton were divided, only portion going for
Cincinnati, the rest for Saratoga. On the
second ballot four left Saratoga and went
Tor Cincinnati, and on the next.th more
Logan's friends rallied around Chicago and
on the fourth ballot secured the necessary
number. Iowa and Wisconsin, whose
members held federal Offices, voted for
Cincinnati, though these people were for
Chicsgo. :,
New England went for Western local
ity. But for the Southern members who
hold federal tilices Cincinnati would not
have been heard OF. :.
II now appears that the hotel men in
Chicago have been OF work for long time

made for Philadelphia till Monday. The

Arthur. Il is said the Democratic Con.
