The Permanent Seat Is still frozen

ever, and thereis some prospect, although
remote, Of q thaw. ~.
The Legislature, althoug j 1t has been
in session three weeks, has done but very
little. However much the House may be
able to accomplish. the Senate, l fear, will
do but little, from the fact that II Is &C.
yerely afflicted with q rlauSeous disease
called E. Wind Wilson. This Is a disease
that twenty.one members OF the Senate
do not like very much, but the remaining
member thinks It highly necessary for the
safety and perpetuity ol the party to
which he has the honor to belong" that
the Senate should be so afflicted, and 1t
has become a chronic disease with him.
EIe is the Davenport Of the Senate. He
introduced bill few days ago to change
the name of Grant county, but the bill
was, indefinitely postponed. He also in.
roduced bill to change the names Of
Grant and Milroy townships, in Grant
county, but the bill was laid on the table.
And thus nearly every motion he makes
Is served. In fact It has become saying:
"Get E. Wind Wilson to oppose q bill
and It's passage Is insured"

synonym lor the slang phrase Of /" York

de plume to the gentleman who has as.
sumed II, in late letter to the Register,
in speaking Of the resolution concerning
Mr.. Ed. Moore-that resolution which
has so frightened the immaculate Demo.
Gratis, "Y0rk il" and s. NJ. Sommers, and
mingled in with their dreams, as to make
them more insane, II possible, than ever
says he hopes Senator Morrison "may be
able to make satisfactory explanation
to tue stern, un1inching Democracy Of
his district" of his motion in offering the
resolution, and also, pitches promiscuous.
ly into Senators Ice and Morgan, for vo-
ting in favor Of the resolution. Pardon
me il take little Of your valuable
space, in talking about the record ot
this "stern, unflinching Democrat
from Senator Morrison's district,
namely: George "Yorkit" Cozad, Of the
Lunatic Asylum. IT'S well known
That this 0qfmcAing Democrat, q few
years ago, sought, obtained and accepted
position In Republican Legislature,
and took pay for his services from Re.
publican State. Oh, Yorlitl how could
you SO far forget your immaculate Do.
mOCracy! 'Tis also well known that said
"Yorkit" was chosen Assistant Clerk Of.
the Democratic House Of. Delegates last
year, and that ,hevoluntarily and of his
own free will and accord resigned his
office into the hands Of Col. Edwin Frey,
well known Radical Republican, some
days before the close fthe session, prom.
sing that he Frey should receive his
(C0asds) pay; then drew his per diem to
the cIOS Of Me Sea&ion and went "where
the woOdbine twineth;" thus drawing
pay for a number ol days services he did
not perform, and necessitating the ap.
pOintment Of another clerk, who drew
The same Amooht Of pay. What will
"lhe stern, unhinching Democrats of his
district say to these derelictions Of dutys
Poor Georgel I'm very much afraid
they'll think your Democracy is not as
strong as your daily LIQUID, and hence
your chances for Secretary Of State under
wOuld.be Governor Lewis Baker are very
slim. Too thin, George, too thinl How
did "YOrkit' obtain his present position
as Assistant Clerk oil the HOuseY / am
informed he promised both of the candi-
dates for Clerk to use his influence (Sl on
their behalf, and each one, in turn, prom.
ised him the position Of Assistant. Thus,
by carrying water on both shoulders"
he obtained his position. 1s=.as,l-ss.s--s.
Again, this high.toned, stern, unflinch.
ing Democrat has had his feelings very
much worked up because the President
of the Senate, exercising an undoubted
right appointed Hon. Thomas B. Kline
chairman Of the Judiciary Committee, and
reflects on Mr.. Kline's legal abilities. i
have no doubt Mr.. Kline feels very badly,
In being criticized by such an able Judge
Of law and lawyers as "'Yorkit." Mr..
Kline Is from Cabell county, and though
young, Is rising rapidly in his profession,
and will compare very iavorably in point
OF gentlemanly bearing and legal ability
with "Yorkits Sumner. By the way,
"Yorkit" there were twelve Senators
who voted for the resolution referred 10.
and they are willing to compare their De.
mocracy with yours at any time. Alas
poor Yorkit | very much fear ''the win.
Ter OF your discomfort Is near at hand,
But | will stop talking about "Yorkitn
lor fear your resders may feel desire 10
longer. Ns'
