Ono of tho most heartrending de
tails of .tho coining motaiuorphosis
of (he political aspect of tho lioiw
is the approaching exodus of the big
republicans from their long-cherished
homes in tlio fine committee
rooms of the capilol. l'or years and

havo accumulated their public mid

Ovor on tho senate side of tho

Noriis of Nebi'aska and Murdoek nt
Kansas, ftVe plnnuing to "bring ill1.
committees under the control of the

view they have framed a relonn
meiiHiiro providing for the election

doubts about being able to gain the
support of their erstwhile allies, Ihv
democrats, for this measure. Tho

not so confident.
