1t is apparent from the above list that
the senators from the northwestern states
have been well taken care of in the matter
of chairmanships and places on important
committees The name of Mr. Kyle does
not appear upon the -ist, although Mr.
PETER his Alliance colleague, is given four
committee assignments. 1t is learned that
Mr.. Kyle was approached with the view of
ascertaining his preferences. but that his
response was noncommittal, and vaguely
limited at an expectation that the Alliance
senators would receive committee assign
ments from both the Republican and DEM
ocratic caucuses. Doubt has also been
cast upon his soundness in Republican
principles, so that up to this time the Re
publican caucus has been unable to place
him, although it may do so tomorrow.
