How the Chairmanships Will BE Apportioned
by Mr.. Reed-Friends to BE Rewarded.
Special 20 the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Now that the
speakership fight is over. interest natural
ly turns to the disposition that Mr.. Reed
will make of the important chairmanships
at his disposal: in other words, how he will
reward those who have worked for him
early and late. He VIII be greatly assisted
in this matter by the fact that the ballot
ing was open. He knows exactly who
voted for him on the first ballot, and
who staid by him from the first and who
the gentlemen are who climbed on his
wagon when they saw that his was the
winning team. Of course his late
opponents will come in for the
first consideration. Mr.. Mckinley,
as already stated in these dispatches, must
be rendered the chairmanship of the com-
mittee on ways and means. There is a
general belief that Mr.. Mckinley, recog-
nizlng already what the venerable Father
Kelley has done. or claims to have done for
him, will prefer that the chairmanship of
that committee be rendered to Mr.. Kelley
be said that Mr.. Mckinley, very diplo-
matically, warded off any pledge in that
direction by saying that as the committee
ship had not yet been offered to
him. he could not say that he
would decline it in favor of
Mr.. Kelley. Mr.. Cannon, of course, gets
of Iowa. he will likely remain on approprIa-
tions: Mr.. Bayne, of Pittsburg. will get
the chairmanship of rivers and harbors. 1t
is said Mr.. Burrows will probably perfer to
remain on the ways and means.
Harry Bingham, former postmaster of
Philadelphia. has been active enough in
Mr.. Reeds behalf to earn the chairmanship
of pOstOffices and post-roads- Dorsey. of
Nebraska, will probably obtain banking
and currency. Cabot Lodge has been Mr..
Reeds right bower in the fight, and has
been expecting the chairmanship of cleo
tions. but Judge Rowell. of Illinois, will
probably. get 1T. Payson. of Illinois,
will receive public lands; Perkins, of Kan
naval affairs. and Dingley, of Maine. .mer-
chantmarinea and fisheries. Farquhar, Of New
York, wanted this latter committee. but
Reed will, probably not, forget him for
breaking the Reed.New York Wheat COM
bination, and practically electing Captain
Adams for Door-keeper. so that he will
probably not get that Craftsmanship. Mill
iken. of Maine. will get public buildings
and grounds, probably. McComas, of
Maryland, for some remarkable reason,
seems to be anxious to leave his present i'm
portant position on appropriations COM
mittee and fight for q chairmanship. The
District committee is said to be his
ambition. He may get it, and If
he does. will only hold it one week be-
fore he will believe what his friends now
tell him. that the power to appoint a
friend to clerkship on his committee is too
big price to pay for his leaving the most
important committee in the House.
The other chairmanships are still in
doubt, and it will probably be after the
holidays before Mr.. Reed will be able to
