Washington, Dec. (Special.-These are days OF
anxiety and terror for Democratic Representatives.
Every man OF them Is anxious-exceedngly anxious
as to where and how he will find himself placed when

hmters-from the men who want clerlships ard as
sstant doorkeeperships down to the men who
bilious TO shovel coal fold bills and documents and
the women who anxious to wash towels soed by
