| Mr.. Gilmer opposed the motion and asked time
for consideration. He offered various objections to
| going at once into election; and was replied to
by Mr. Hoke who called the attention of the Senate,
and especially of the Senator from Guilford, to the
precedent set by the Wings in the Legislature of
| 1910. The journals would show that two distng-
uished Wings elected to the Senate at that
sion one on the 23d and another the oath of No.

before them of their own, oppose the proposition
