At first as representatives of the Prussian partition and Eastern Galicia were adopted [there] former parliamentary deputies; After completing the election, the position of Trąmpczyński strengthened. According to the spirit of the agreement prevailing in the Chamber, to the presidium, representatives of all clubs were allowed for the plenum and committees, in order and as they are numbering (system d’Hondta). Ten clubs have created. The nationalists took a new name, First of all, because their idea was to unate the people; secondly, Because some deputies came out of the Stojałówków organization, Even before the creation of national democracy.
