The fact that the Democratic members

cided 10 hold caucus next Friday 10
nominate candidates for the various offices
Of the House would seem to indicate that
there Will be no fhbustcring when the
House shall meet next Monday. The
Democratic members already in Washing
ington know what they are about. it IS 10
be presumed; and their determination not
- fhbuster may be due to assurances
which they have received in one way or
another that She Republicans do not In
tend TO try 10 unscat all at once the Demo
Gratis whose seats are contested, nor To al
