Mr.. Fisher was in favor OF the mo-
tioa 10 postpoas. He thought the

would pot them 10 Ill possible ineon-
venieoce-dstsin them until their
funds were exhausted, and then vote
against their candidate. He thought
the honor Of the house required The
course. He was for full, free and
unbiased expression. unaided by these
gentlemen. He knew nothing Of HE
own knowledge. bat be was told of
such movements. and he thought they
deserved the severest reprobation Of the
house. For this reason, he would post
Pone. even until the 3lst OF March.
Mr.. Davenport saw no necessity for
PostPonement. but if IL WA 10 be done,
q had better be fof two or three weeks.
There were lobby members at work
Tor all the candidates except one-that
ones claims rested upon his own me-
rits. and would continue 90 20 rest.-
He was well known TO a portion Of the
House, and willing to abide the issue.
The people thought their delegates
competent 10 manage al the duties
confded TO them, without the aid Of
gentlemen from other quarters. Mr..
ID. said the salary Of the judgeship was
90 low - 20 restrict the choice very
