speclal Dispatch to the IntollIgencer.
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec, Cit Is
fully predicted here that the Republi-
cans win reorganlEe the senate, with
out the aid OF the PopulIsts, OF course,
and without being under obligations to
the free silver Republicans. At the
same time, Il Is believed that the latter
contingent viii vote with the majority.
How will the Republicans accom-
plIsh that feat? Time will tell. II is
sufficient TO bo assured that they VIII
do II.
The legislative machinery is not yet
thoroughly oiled, and the dust is not
all remoysd. but the mill Is In opera
tlon, and bills and Joint resolutions are
dropping into the hopper.
The West Virginia representatives
express but one ambition, and that Is
10 do the best thing possible Tor thelr
constituency. II does not follow that
appointments will be numerous. That
may be as wen understood now, ana
better now than later. With the de-
partments all closed TO Republicans,
rock-ribbed and bnrrlclded by Demo-
cratic officials. the only chance for In.
huenco Is By competition through the
civil service channel. Places under thd
house organization, as any one may
easily demonstrate for himself, will be
on the principle OF III into 10 no Zines
md nary over" There will not be an
average ofNpne appointment TO each
Representative. II the West virginia
members get three minor positions In
the allotment they will do well.
PRACTICAL RESULTS
whnt Doycner and Dayton and Hui
ing and Miller. in cooperation with
Senator Elkns. hope to accomplish will
be in the appropriation line. For one
thing, they viii want 10 secure aid TO
river improvement. The Ohio and tho
Monongaheln are at the front In all
calculations so far made, and In tho
case OF the first they viii OF course
have the aid Of Mr.. DanfOrd and other
OhInans. Including General GrosYener
Mr.. Dayton said TO the lntelligencer
correspondent. on the evening OF the
first day Of his investiture with the
congressional preTOgatlvc. that his
great desire Is to do everything possible
for his district and state, and lnclden-
tally referred TO the desired MonOnGa-
hcla Improvement
DAYTON IN EARNEST.
81 believe" said Mr.. Dayton, that
the MononguhelR river should not only
be Stacked TO Fnlrmont, but should be
made free river. and that shall be n
main consideration with me-" Mr. Day
ton ls by circumstances made con-
spiCuouR. He does not court that con-
sequence OF his success over Mr.. VIII
gon. on tho contrary, he shrinks from
II. and 20 sum up the situation IL may
bo said In his favor that he has met
every expectation OF his friends md
added much 10 his stature in their csti-
nation by his successful entrance upon
hls new Acid. lie will be the equal OF
any in looking after the material inter-
cats OF his commonwealth.
