A DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.
Trouble In the uourbon Camp over tn
New speaker.

Trouble In the nourbon Camp over tho
New speaker.
The idea Of contestiug the validity OF
Gov. Hills seat In the senate does not
originate with the republicans 1t
comes from de mocratic sources and in
dicates an uucomprom sing war be-
tween the two factions of the New York
democracy.
A democratic senator, one OF the best
LAWYERS in the senate, Is authority for
the statement that the pr, ccdcnts are
al against hin and that the seat to
which he was elected is practically va
cant
ut is argued" says special from
Washington, that II n senator-,lcct
can continue 20 Gil another Office for n
year and leave his scat vacant after the
assembling Of the senate. he can do the
same thing for two or i've years and
thus leave his state without representa-
ton and III might bel the senate with
out quorum This Of course might
be destructive of the theory OF repre-
sentative government and the question
thus becomes very important one,
But apart from the question Of public
policy. this incident is another indica-
ton that the struggle between the
rival factions in New York cannot be
longer hidden or postponed Tho ac-
ton OF Speaker Crisp is nothing less
than a direct insult and aiIront to the
trends of MIR. Cleveland. In the
slang of the day IL Is u told attempt TO

AppHreut.


Apparent.
Speaker Crisp is in the unhappy posi-.
tion of man who has TO apologize to
one friend for having injured him that
he might placate another, while the
one for whose pleasure the injury has
been inflicted refuses TO lie placated
The democratic majority in congress
Is made up of li0 northern and ll5
southern members But Speaker Crisp
has given thirty-two chairmauships Of
committees to southern and but twenty
FIVE TO northern membert- ii IS excuse
Is that the llb southern mem ers repre-
sent 800 years OF congressional service,
while the ll9 northerners represent
but 1870 years. This is feeble subter-
fugc Hitherto the rule has not been to
regard the aggregate Of service in any
section, but 20 choose chairlnen by rca'
son Of their personal experience. Very
rarely has new member been given u
craftsmanship, and still more rarely have
new members been placed on such inn
porl ut committees rs those OF ways
and means and appropriations But
Speaker Crisp has departed from prcc-
edent lie has placed men In impor.
tant positions, apparently, Us reward

not being the choice OF the south for
the speakership, ga ming the place by
the aid OF shrewd northcrners. Mr.
Crisp has been compelled TO give to
northern men the most of the coveted
chairmansh ps, of ways and means and
appropriations, and to atone for this ho
has given majority OF minor chair
manships TO southerucrs.
Neither the north nor the south Is
pleased with the outcome. The south
resents the insult to Its Texan idol,
who. after having been the despot OF
the free trade economists, is sent into
the comparative obscurity of foreign
and interstate commerce. The north
is FESTIVE under the yoke Of n prcpond

In short, II is n great bunco game
