For instance, you may depend up- j on it that the rules of the House will not be changed by the Kepubiican Majority ib any essential feature. We do not propose to permit them to be changed a3 desired by Mr. Reed and others, in any particular feature. Isor will we permit ( any of the proposed legislation looking , to control by Congress of the elections ' for we see very plainly what the purpose of that is. The same can be said of the contest cases that will come up before i Congress. We do not propose to let . the Republican majority be further in- ; creased adlibitum, by throwing out Dem- ' ocratic members, as seems to be the j purpose. In other words, we propose to exercise control of the House just as . much jis though we were still in the majority, because we know our minority .is strong enough to make us the virtual : rulers."
