the steering committee OF the insurgents
we're in conference with a committee rep
resenting the democrats. Representatives
Gardner, Madison. Nelson, Hubbard and
Hlnshsw were present for the insurgents,
and Minority Leader Clark and Repre-
sentative Underwood of Alabama for the
democrats.
The insurgents. it is said. convinced the
democrats that, they could deliver thirty
votes for any proposition they desired to
propose on Monday. The democrats prom
lsed to furnish 10 votes against the pre-
vious question motion on the adoption OF
the old rules. This is the full democratic
strength. less two. there being one va
cency on account OF death and one MEM
Der being seriously i'll. AS 1876 will be a
majority, the allied forces claimed the VIC
tory.
The program tentatively agreed upon by
the allies was TO vote down the previous
question on the adoption OF the rules on
Monday, and IL the amendent TO the rules
providing for a committee to select com
mittees is voted down to propose that the
committee on rules be elected by the house.
The democratic conferees are said to have
expressed assurances that they would line
up the entire democratic delegation for the
latter amendent, but they were not go GER
tain as to the former. The regulars claim
to have the promises of several democrats
not to vote with their party for the vari-
GUS amendments and deny that the 'insur-
gent" forces will number thirty.
Il have never yet as whip fallen down
on a poll of the house, declared former
Representative Watson. THE organiza-
ton will win in a walk"
Both the democrats and the insurgents
say that no serious attempt will be made
to defeat Mr.. Cannon for speaker. The
insurgents will be left to follow their per-
sonal inclinations along this line.
Roosevelt's Name Used.
The name of Theodore Roosevelt promises
to be brought forth prominently by the lin
surgents' as among their supporters in
the fight against the rules of the
incoming house. A letter has been re-
ceived at the capitol making DR.. Lyman
Abbott, editor of the Outlook, authority for
the statement that at a meeting of the
editors OF the Outlook Wednesday It was
decided to continue the support of the "in-
surgents." Ex-President Roosevelt attended
his first conference of editors on that day.
The letter is taken as proof that Mr.. Roose-
welt desires the insurgents to win at this
time
