washington. Dec. 2-For two hours to-day
she Democratic members Of The House of Rep
resentatives discussed party policies and pro-
ireIure with view TO solidifying the minority
and acting harnoniously upon all matters of a
partisan character that may come before the
House This discussion followed the nomination
iof officers to be voted for on Monday next, and
was preeipitated by variety Of resolutions on
these subjects.
Jobn Sharp Williams was unanimously chosen
es the nominee for Speaker and this action OF
the caucus makes him the minority leader Tor
the coming Congress- to succeed himself
Following his nomination Mr.. Williams MADE
an extended speech outlined principles upon
which the party should stand. and especially
insisted that the party should oppose subsidies
OF all kinds and support antitrust legfslatlon
Speaking of railway rate regulation, he insisted
that the party would be indorsing its national
platforms If every effort were used TO further
legislation looking to governmental control OF
such RAGS As to the charge that the Demo-
Gratis were following a Republican President ne
declared that the Democrats were supporting
their own principles. and it mattered not i
these principles were indorsed by Republican
President.
The chief discussion was caused by a resolu-
tion introduced by Rep p-esentative Lloyd, of Mis-
souri, which was finally adopted. 1t requires
TO submit minority reports on bills where Demo-
cratic principles are violated in the opinion of
such minority members. Some opposition devel-
oped to this resolution, as it was considered by
several members of the caucus to be a reflection
upon minority members Of committees during
previous sessions of Congress. Mr.. Williams in
shis speech accepting the nomination for Speaker,
had expressed views in line with the resolution.
Both he and Mr.. Lloyd disclaimed any intention
Of rejecting on members of the party, but in
sisted that the resolution would tend to solidify
party action in the House. Opposition to the
resolution was somewhat pronounced, and Mr..
Fitzgerald of New-York, after declaring that it
was instruction to Democrats to do their duty.
which he claimed was unnecessary, moved TO
lay the resolution on the table. This motion
failed to carry and the resolution finally
adopted Among others who took part in the
discussion were Messrs Cochran. of New-York;
Smith, of Kentucky; Sulzer, OF New-York. and
Bartlett. of Georgia.
The routine proceedings of the caucus were
without special incident. It was called together
promptly at y o'clock by Mr.. Hay. of Virginia,
who chairman of the during the
last Congress. r. I. Henry, of Texas, was
elected chairman for this Congress, and Messrs
Bowers. of Mississippi and Robertson. of Louisi-

TIGER WOULD GRAB BOARD
AFTER THE 4LDERMEN.
Tdmmany Wants to Redsstrict City
Little Tim" at York.

The Tammany leaders are counting on getting
control of the Board OF Aldermen They did
this before the end OF the first year of the Low
administration by winning several Republi-
cans whose records are counterparts of those OF
machine made Tamnany members Of the board
Little Tim Sullivan did the most of the
manipulation. and he has been ordered by the
Tammany leaders to try it again.
The principal reason for Tammany desiring
control this year is to have the carving of the
county into Assembly districts If Tammany
could do this the Republicans would get the
worst of it. The shoe is on the other foot, and
It is CALLING to Mr.. Murphy and his friends to
realize that the Republican and Hearst men can
go ahead without interference from them
The Board of Aldermen consists Of seventy
three elected members, besides the president of
the board and the borough presidents. or the
seventy-three, the Republicans elected thirty
five partisan candidates and the Municipal
Ownership League twelve, making forty-seven
in ALL clear majority. The SuIlivans are
going to try to convert enough of the Hearst
men to capture the chairmanships of the I'm
portant committees and allow John T. Mccall, as
chairman of the Finance Committee. to sit in
the Sinking Fund Commission.
The outlook for any such successful raid is
dubious from the Tammany point of view at the
present time. The Republicans elected to the
board strong party men, and the Hearst men
are If anything, thoroughly anti-Tan-
many in spirit than the Republicans. The anti
Tammany members are classified below accord
ing to their nominations and Endorsements:
