majority of the house opposed Mr.. Bryan
IN his desire TO shift responsibility, while
bossing the legislative job, but nee Mr..
Bryan walked Speaker Pool at I o'clock
in the morning and demanded that he will
away his authority insofar es committee
appointments are concerned. all the fight
has been taken out of the rebels.
The COMMITTEES on committees met this
morning and 1t was decided informally at
that meeting that every member would have
equal authority.
This committee will get busy and Monday
at, 1870 a caucus will be held, at which
the COMMITTEES will report. The result OF
the action of the, caucus probably will be
made known at the session OF the house
Monday afternoon
1t is the intention of this standing com.
mittee on committees to increase practi.
cally all of the standing committees, sC
that every member will get just what ht
asks for. The committees on corporations
cities and towns. judiciary and the othel
Important committees will in some IN
stances be doubled and others materially
enlarged.
1t is planned now by the leaders of tn,
house to follow the precedent established
by the republican Legislature two year,
ago and have joint committees Of the hous,
and senate draft the platform pledges int
bills.

motion will permit the mailing of any
number of letters at public expense.
After a long discussion over the PROPOSE
ton to adjourn unit Monday a decision
was reached to make the adjournment
continue only until tomorrow afternoon,
but the house desired to adjourn until
Monday, following the joint session and
the senate reconsidered its action and
concurred in the action of the house. This
was done in order to permit the commit
tees on standing committees TO confer, a
meeting for this purpose having been called
for tomorrow.
The expected action OF the committee on
rules was taken during the morning, when
Senator Ransom, chairman of this body
sent to the desk a resolution providing for
the increase OF the membership OF the COM
mfttee on banks and currency from five
members, which is the usual number, "a
seven. Yesterday Oilers OF York moved
that the committee be increased to nine
members and the motion was referred, the
committee on rules thought seven was q
sufficiency and the farmer members agreed
thinking they might be able to. secure q
majority on 1t. AS constituted in the pre-.
liminary arrangements. however, with the
committee standing at five, the delayed pay
ment banking members had an apparent
majority. A strong contest will result yer
over the makeup Of this body in the efforr
to depose the banking interests, and in cas-,
this is not done, the bill will be drafted by
special joint committees should the farmer
members be enabled to AXE such action.
