way after full and free conference with

and with prominent members of the
House The idea prevailed that mas
much as any bill or bills which might
be agreed upon by the Republican eau
Gus would have to go to one or both
of these committees for their final ac
ton and report, it would be unWlse
to ask the gentlemen to make any diff
ference or take sides in any way in any
dispute Of policy or detail, and it was
deemed wisest and best that the COM
mittee should remain wholly independ-
ent and non-committai as to the de-
tails of the report, and be free to act
Independently, with the final judgment
of each member uninfluenced and unaf-
fected by the action of the caucus COM
mittee. In this way we will ultimate
ly have the opinion of the caucus COM
