1t is apparent from the above list that
the senators from the Northwestern
states have been well taken care of in
the matter of chaiTmanshIps and places
on important committees. While
MesSrs. FELTON,, Dubois and HansbrOugh
do not secure chairmanships, they do
get assignments to committees that
originate a large part of the important
Legislation of congress.
The name of Senator Kyle does not
appear upon the list. although Senator
PETER. his Alliance colleague, is given
( four committee assignments. Ii is
learned that Senator Kyle was aD-
preached with a view to ascertaining
his preferences. but that his response
was nOn-committal, and vaguely limited
at an expectation that the Alliance SEN
atOrs would receive committee assign
ments from both the Republican and
Democratic caueuseS. Doubt has also
been cast upon his SOundneSS in RepUb-
lican principles, so that up to this time
the Republican caucus has been unable
to place him, although it may do 50 to-
! morrow.
As nearly as can be gathered from the
! expressions Of many senators. the as
/ signments made by the committee are
! generally satisfactory 1t was found
/ impractIcable to meet all the expecta-
/ tons of the new senators. but the dis
! satisfaction that exists is believed TO be
/ confined to less than half dozen sena-
/ tors. MeSsrs. Saunders and Powers. of
! Montana, wished 10 be assigned to the
| committees on appropriations and
| finance, but the committee was unable
| to comply with their requests in this re-
spect.
