To the Democrats of the House.

on Saturday last a caucus of the Demo

at the personal instigation of Mr.. Joseph

the following resolution:

Although majority OF the members pres

suspicion, they adopted it, to avoid direct
reflection upon his alleged leadership upon
the occasion of its first attempted opera
ton. Bat as soon as that had been done
he was placed in the witness box and

in binding the caucus.
Mr Bailey admitted thatit was his in
tention and the object-of the resolution to
bind the House Democracy TO SUPPORT Mr..
Dingley in his policy of adjournment for
three days at a time, and generally to sup
port the Speaker in his flagiant usurpatton
OF all power, authority and functions
Upon this being made plain the Hon. David
A De Almond offered another resolution,
explanatory of the first. which was as
follows

The De Almond resolution was imme-
diately adopted AS IL operated to COM

adoption. The De Almond resolution, there
fore, is the supreme law of the Democratic
minority in the House, and we expect to
