WASHINGTON, March 9.-The Demo-
cratic Caucus Committee on Committees
met to-day. The committee entered at
once upon the assignment of the majority
to places upon the Senate committees. 1t
will not be surprising if several days are
consumed in the work. 1t is expected
number of Presidential nominations will
be transmitted to the Senate when it re-
assemblies tomorrow or very soon after
ward. These nominations will be re-
ferred to the various committees for eX-
animation and report, and the Democrats
feel it is essential that they shall be
passed upon by friendly committees in
stead of being treated by the committees
as at present constituted, with Repub-
lican maiorities. For this reason, if no
other, the Caucus Committee feels bound
to hasten the progress of its work, Tor
even when the list of the majority mem

must be submitted to the Republican

and the schemers were willing, and un-
doubtedly did. use money in purchasing
votes to carry out their particular legisla-
ton.
Neither of the three political parties
represented in the recent Legislature are
blameable for the action of their MEM
bers in receiving bribes. do not think
that the bribery was confined to any one
or even two of the parties. l believe that
members in all three were influenced in
corrupt manner, and justice to the State
demands that prosecution should be be-
gun that the people of this State may
know what individual who so far forgets
his duty as to receive bribe, will be OBJ
noxious not only now, but for all time.
The State Board will furnish information
which will probably place you in posi-
ton where you can obtain such evidence
as will lead to the arrest and punishment
of offenders both inside and outside of
