Neal Dow is now engaged in trying to

proven itself the only reliable, trust

it: and they also knew that no difference

TO STEAL THE HOUSE.

Evidences OfR Dem ocretic Intention
Tho Authority or the Chief Clerk.
Washington, Nov. 22,-The indica-
tions are increasing that the democrats

which will aid in securing certificates
from the governors in the democratic
states. The report that the governor
has been asked to take original iuris.
diction and 70 determine that a repup.
lican was not elected in one of the Tea-
nessee districts after the returning off,
GERS have made their returns that he is
elected, rs interpreted to mean that it
IS the purpose of the democracy TO Sc
care the majority ct all hazards. They,
OF course, rely upon the absolute auth
ority now vested in the clerk of the
house to make up the roll Oh the basis
OF the certificates returned to him with
out any possibility OF appeal from his
decision. The events OF the last few
days have confirmed the belief Of the
republican leaders that theft OF the ma.
jority OF the next house is contemplated
By the democrats. There are reasons to
fear that they may be able to execute
their tbreats, and that it will not be pos.
sible to organize the house Of represen-
tstives that was honestly elected except
by resortinR to unusual methods. The
practical nature OF the plan of the dem
ocrats to capture the organization OF the
house can best be understood by an ex-
animation OF the law by which the clerk
OF the present house is given abso
lutely arbitrary power over the organi-
cation OF the next house. The authority
for tho organization of the house as nov
prescribed by law is not found IN the
constitution, save the general provision
that each house shall be Judge OF the
elections, returns and qualifications OF III
Iown members. Under this general powe
the usage has grown mp which is EN-.
bodied in part, at least, in statute tina
the organization OF the house is places
absolutely within the power and the dis
cretion of the clerk of the house OF th
preceding congress. The specific authorit
under which the clerk OF the house pre
pares the roll upon which the succeedin
house is organized Is found in rule three
paragraph one, of the body OF the rule
of the house. That provision is:
The clerk shall at the commencement
OF the first session OF each congress ca
the members to order. proceed 60 Ca
the roll OF members by states IN alpha
betical order. and, pending the electio
of a speaker or speaker pro tenn, pre-
serve order and decorHn, and decide q
questions OF order subject to appeal b
any member.
Rule 3 Of the house provides that Il
