Speaker Crisp Says He Has Not De
cided on a Single Appointment.
New York. Aug. 4.-The Worlds
Washington special says: Speaker Crisp
authorizes the statement that there is no
basis whatever for any one of the many
reports circulated regarding the appoint
ment Of Chairmen of the committees. He
has not yet decided upon single ap-
pointment, and will certainly not before
the arrival of the President and Secretary
Carlisle, and probably not until the eau
Gus shall have officially designated him
as its candidate for Speaker. He does not
expect 10 announce the committees until
eight or ten days after the organization
Monday. He may make an exception of
the Committee on Coinage, but he has
reached no such determination as yet
The Speakers sole aim is to do only that
which will be of the greatest service to
the party, which means cooperation with
the Administration.
The truth is all depends upon the time
of the message. If Cleveland shall con-
fine his recommendation strictly to the
repeal of the Sherman law. with no hint
of subsequent legislation in the direction
of bimetallism, it might be considered
wise to pit Cochran against the redou bta-
BILE Bland, in which event Cochran would
leave the Ways and Means to become
Chairman OF the Coinage Committee. If,
on the other hand, the President should
deem more pacific policy advisable, it
might be considered wise to permit Bland
to retain his position, if ne should care to
do so, despite the opposing majority in
his conn mmittee.
AS the composition of the Ways and
Means Committee will be affected by that
of the Coinage Committee, especially with
reference to Cochran, it is easy to see the
reasons for the statement made above.
viz: that all depends upon the Presidents
policy as outlined in his message.
