This Senate adopte, aw for a par
ticular purpose en- first day Of the
session, and now the aator from the
Second District. by the Senator
from Carroll turns md and says that
they disregard that F. Now, I say
that this is out rider by all parli-
, amentary law, and not be tolerated
here
! I would remark ther, that there is
a cat in the meal s somewhere. Why
is it that they do 10 into An election
under this first Folution that was
adopted? Why they trying to get
around it? VIII they not abide by
the law made at first meeting Of the
Senate? Becaus BY know fu well it
is unconstitutior or at least some of
them do; the Sc from Carroll gives
a contrary opinid and, therefore, they
know that they 70 move for recon-
; sideration. VIII ley do not make
: motion for that asideration, and ap-
proach the ma rim the regular way, !
can not compre They must expect
to obtain some |ntage by some sort
; of shifting arou lor some sort of sharp
practice, which 1cannot at present un-
! derstand. Mo- say, come up to this
matter boldly: = have made law; let
= us 60 into ection under that law.
