supposed minority to extend this matter, by
debate and otherwise, to Il period of time which
would enable the minority TO bring their sick
members, and he proposed to do his part in the
matter: but he would agree, on the part oil him

four p. NJ, on the point of moving the previous
question. He spoke an hour and three-quar-
tiers, in a very rambling manner, and was called
to order, when motion to adjourn was made
and the roll called. Not carried.
Then came motion to allow Mr.. Wadleigh
to proceed on which the roll was called and
decided in the negative.

twenty minutes.

representation in any legislative body who al
ready have and are promised to receive official
positions as the labor reformers, in our house of
representatives only six in number, and some
of these have never claimed TO be labor reform
ers, but were elected on independent tickets,
and are simply disaffected republicans who have
considered themselves aggrieyed by Mr.. Rollins,
or some of the leaders OF the party.
Mr. CogSswel, of Henniker, is allotted the
financial keys of state. The speaker, assistant
clerk of the house, sergeant-at arms andvarious
minor offices for friends are already promised.
To be labor reformer is to be master of the
situation.
The democrats are to have the governor, pres
ident of the senate and clerk of the same, the
secretary of state and some door keepers. 1t is
admitted by the democrats that no obnoxious
party measure can be carried in the small work
ing majority shown. 1t is the intention of the
majority to Gil senatorial district number one
with Hon. Daniel Marcy, and leave, for politi-
cal reasons, district number ten vacant.
