How the States Fared.
Missouri and New York get four chair
manships each; Alabama, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio
and Texas, three each; Arkansas, Ken
lucky, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,
New Jersey, South Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia, Pennsylvania, two each;
and Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin, one each.
Missouri, as the banner Democratic
state, with fourteen Democratic mem
bers and no Republican ones, leads all in
the importance of her four chairman
ships of coinage, agriculture, labor and
pensions. Ohio and Illinois also send
fourteen Democrats to this congress,
along with half as many Republicans.
Illinois fares very we'll indeed in the
matter of chairmanships, getting that
of the Columbian exposition, of course;
also, that of ways and means, the lead
ing committee in the house, and chat of
militia.
Ohio chairmanships are not of the
first rank. They are military, liquor
traffic and interior department expenses.
Kentucky gets law revision, and Con-
gresham Montgomery a minor COM
mittee.
Indiana can't complain with her Hol-
man at the head of appropriation com
mittee and with invalid pension and
navy expenditures besides.
Tennessee fares passably well with the
territories and printing chairmanships.
West Virginia is left out in the cold,
