gen paid the price of his Speakership this
evening when he announced his commit
tees and consummated the deals which
. were made last Monday evening when his
supporters were promising anything and
Everything In their desperation to secure

manship of the Municipal Corporations
\Committee for withdrawing from the
1pntest and turning over to Bergen the

ecedent and custom, belonged to Null
ne. Jersey City is not represented on
he committee at all. But Mr.. Mullone
WAS given the Craftsmanship of the Edu-
4 cation and Militia Committees, designa-

man of his standing in the
House. All the prominent po-
sitions were given TO those who
supported Bergen. The Monmouth men
were well taken care of. WINS secured

UNCALLED FOR INSULT.
The Hudson members are not the only
one who think they have been treated
shabbily by Mr.. Speaker Bergen. There
is merry war in the Republican camp. 1t
seems that Speaker Bergen requested
Potts to go TO his colleagues and ask
them what committses they wished to be
on. Mr.. Potts did so, and it is said that
the requests of the Republicans for
places on Democratic committees was re-
freshing Eugene Cole. the plucky little
schoolmaster from Cape May, does not
like TO acknowledge Potts as the leader
OF the minority He sulked in his tent
and refused TO hand in his request.
When the committees were announced,
the black cloud which settled on Mr..
Coles face was horrible to see. He was
on the tail of the Committees on Educa-
cation and Fisheries.
Jackson, of Essex. who was in the
House last year, was also hopping mad
when he found that he brought up the
rear of the Committee on Incidental Ex-
penses. He was entitled to better treat
ment. Williams, who received the
Republican nomination for Speaker,
also has grievance. A man of
his ability, in the estimating
of many should have a better position
than the tail end of the Militia Commit
tee. The air is full of threats against
Bergen and mis- supporters, and the first
opportunity which offers itself for hitting
him a wback will be eagerly embraced by
several of the members.
He will have little sympathy.
