NEW HAVEN, February 2S, ie91.-The
Brandagee resolution. which looked to
the taking OF advice from the Connecticut
Supreme Court as to the points at Issue in
the legislative deadlock, having been
blocked in the Senate on Thursday, a
new republican plan is said 30 be afoot.
It eontemplates, as is reported, the seat
ing of all the democratic State officers
except Morris, and the submission of his
title TO the Supreme Court. This, If true,
differs from former republican PROPOSE
tions, inasmuch as it agrees to seat all
the democratic minor officers instead of
Staub alone, as In q former proposal. It
would be an open confession of what
every body knows to be a fact. that the
democratic minor officers are Kept out
only for the purpose of q trade, and to up
hold Buckley. But the democrats are
not likely to accept the new suggestion.
The adoption by the House Republicans
Of the rule delaying for day all resolu-
lions relating to the seating of State Off
GERS, enables that party now to gain time
to gather their forces for vote, and
whip in disagreeing members in case of
revolt The adoption of the rule, in adj
dition to the unprecedented powers al
ready given the Republican House Steer
Gratis to indicate that there Is increased
fear of break IN the Republican ranks
1t is now stated pretty positively that
the House Democrats will not join the
Republicans in that body for committee
work. on the ground that the Senate is
not represented on the committees, some
OF which, including the Appropriations
Committee, must be Joint committees
under the State law. The House
committees, thus crippled, will certainly
be unable to do much serious business.
Before such committee, of course. all
hearings would be farcical
There il great pressure by the lobby
at Hartford for a solution Of the dead
lock, which next Tuesday enters upon
its ninth week AT this point, as at
others. the Democrats have the advantage
in their compact body of Senators as con-
trasted with the large Republican House.
Democrats assert, with some plausibility,
that but for the open voting under call
of the yeas and nays there would be
enough Republican malcontents to break
the deadlock and let Morris Ia.
The heaviest load the Republicans are
now carrying Is Bulkeley. with his rash
ness and rowdyisnl. His letter to Hill is
members of both parties, and has done his
cause considerable injury.
The case of the coiored swindler from
this city, who has been arrested at Eliza
beth, n. J.. may yet cause considerable
trouble. City Attorney Daley. who is
Republican. opposes the taking out of re-
QUESTION papers from Buckley, but
States Attorney Dooiittle, who is a Dem
ocrat. may take the opposite view.
Whether BulkeIey in case of an applica-
ton, would risk trouble with Governor
Albeit, is still another point. The Morn
ing NctUs of this city says today that ow-
ing to the requisition snarl some Of the
victims of the swindIer, who pretended to
be q colored preacher, have gone on to
Elizabeth to try to make settlement
without a prosecution.
