have been decent and put a Democrat
from each Branch on the alleged COM
mfttee. Does the esteemed Intelligen-
GER follow us?
Then this alleged Committee on Com
mfttees got together. Monday night and
produced q set of committees which the
subseryient Inteuigencsr says "wjlJ
meet with general satisfaction" Does
the honest Inteuigencer not know that
ft didn't meet with general satisfac-
ION. " but that. on the contrary, jt met
With general dissatisfaction? It
couldn't possibly meet with general
satisfaction because it isn't the sort of
thing the public approves of. Five of
the most important committees We're
made up solidly Republican. Does the
nteuigencer ever recollect a like thing
mall it's life? Does it not know, on the
contrary. that it has been the universal
ru. for the majority to give the mi
ra-tv % representation on all commit
taos, That is the course in the Legis-
hme. Sc is the. course in Congress, and

Committee on Accounts il consists OF
t.. Republicans and one Democrat
An. sar right The others are grossly
end the fact is understood by
..r Intelligent citizen. There should
. been three Democrats on every
u-ure of eight, and two upon every
committee Of six. Instead of that the
as most important committees are

ra others have but one Democrat in
u.ube-ship. and the remainder
-. llr TWO Democrats. with the eX-

Committees. which have three.
