ORGANIZED.
Republicans and Insurgents Effect
Organization of Senate
Democrats and Insurgents Unite in Organization
of the House

Oh Tic
Bismarck, JAM 1.-THE legislature
meets Tuesday and all preliminaries
for proceeding to business have been
completed. The factional differences
between the regular republicans and
insurgent members Of the senate
we're adjusted along lines of mutual
concession. The give and take policy
and harmonzing Of differences was
deemed the wise policy. The result
was that the organization Of the sem
ate was completed without leaving
any factional quarrels to divide the
republicans OF that body, aud the
general feeling is that in the senate
at least, the work of legislation will
proceed and the majority party will
profit by the wise councils that pre-
vail.
In the house different condition
exists. The insurgent mem bers had
enough to organize, elect speaker
and name all the com mittees, and to
do this as republicans. But they re-
fused to 90 INTO a republican caucus
and proceeded to act with the demo-
Gratis. There we're Is democrats and
SIS insurgents who made the deal and
signed up pledge to stand by it.
They made up the slate and carried
it out, electing T. Twitchell OF Cass
county s,eaker and selecting the
clerks and employees of tile house.
Some thirty republican members
issued call for ca ucus this morn
ing. and assembled al the y, S. Dis.
trlct court room, inviting all insur-
gents to participate and offering to
elect the insurgenL candidate in a re-
publican caucus. The insurgent. num-
Der had mostly signed up" with
1.-The democrats on the theory Of the
band wagon, and it is said a mem
....o :. .:.s. ac::,s So. g
preferring to organize as republicans.
No insurgents attended the republi-
can caucus which net at p. M and
after passing resolution which
offered to vote to elect the insur-
gents candidate for speaker, again
adjourned till 10 a. M, JAM. Sth to
give the insurgents another opp0r-
tunity to settle their organization in
a republican caucus, as the senators
had done. It is not considered likely
that the radical insIrgent members
will act, with the republican mem
bras, but some Of those who went in
with the insurgents on promises or
expectations, are said to reglet doing
so now. They were not elected to act
with the democratic party and yet re
fuse TO act with the republican men,
bers in caucus TO bring about the
same result as they would by acting
with democrats. The republican
members, although in minority
feel in duty bound to do all they can
to organize on republican lines and
carry out the principles and policy
Of the party and the people who
elected them, but their efforts to con-
vince insDrgent mem bers of the wis
dom Of this policy where in vain.
