House Adopts Rules on Committee Distribution
A survey of political moves shows the House adopting rules to apportion appropriation bills across several committees. Senator Hampton proposes a bill prohibiting Senators or Representatives from soliciting or recommending appointments to office. The piece notes currency debates, Alaska gold stories, and a Georgia politics subplot with Gen. E. P. Alexander and W. H. Felton. It includes a cotton market roundup from the Chronicle with weekly receipts, stocks, and price activity through December 18, 1885.
