PATRONAGE.
A Non-Partisan Distribution TO be
Made Among Senator'S.
Employees of the senate of Long Yea q,
Experience, Irrespective of Politics,
To be Listed and Charged up to
the Senate Body.

WAsHINGToN March 2O.-The demo-
ratio members of the senate held "A
;aucus Thursday afternoon. at the adj
iournment of the senate, for the pur-
pose of discussing the question of pa
.ronage. The proposition upon which
senator German, representing the
democrats, and Senator Ellins, rep
-esenting the republicans. have been
working for several weeks, was
submitted to the caucus and appeared
20 meet with favorable consideration.
This proposition provides for nom
partisan distribution of the patronage
equally among the 90 senator's who
compose the body. There are about
eighteen employees who. from long
years of experience, have become
invaluable to the senate and
these men will be placed in a
list and charged up to- the senate as u
body. The other places will then be
distributed equally. There were ten
democratic senator's who ceased TO be
members of the senate with the last
session, and their successors have no
one in Office through their influence.
The same can be said of the new repub-
lican senator's.
OF course "A revision of this sort means
that some of the employees will have to
90, and they will probably he those
whose senator's have lost their seats.
and who are, therefore, no longer with
senatorial backing The whole sub
jet, after discussion, was left to the
steering committee. The committee
will confer with similar committee for
the republicans and after a caucus it is
believed the whole matter will be set
tied on the basis herein Indicated No
other subject was brought up in the
