A great deal of industry could be doubtfully well
employed in "analyzng'' the Legislative commit

rule OF seniority among Republicans and has ac~
cepted the designation Of Democrats as made by
Mr.. Grady the leader elected by the minority
party of that body In the Assembly the Speaker,
Mr.. Wadsworth. has done very nearly the same
thing In neither house has any care been taken to
learn to guess ':the preference Of the Governor
The Governor doubtless informally assured
that IL he had any preferences he need only ex-
press them. AS he had carefully declared to inter-
Viewers and In public addresses that he had and

tees have been selected in the usual way by
"seniorjty." That however, could relate only to
reelected legislators. Many are now serving their

little doubt that both did the best they could. or
