The Democratic members from the
third district, or at least some Of them,
declared that they intended 10 embarrass
the democracy u the other districts all
in their power, unless they ceased their
Cl4Inor for removal Of the Capital, and
would have liked to defeat Ben Wilson's
and Frank Martins rClIsf bill, il it had
been in their power. But they did not
stick together IN this matter.
The bill for the temporary removal OF
the Capital came up this afternoon at p
o'clock P. N, Il. the special order
Mr.. Butcher obtained the floor and
moved lUrther pOstponement Of one
week, and stated as bis reason for making

time to hear from his He said il they
gave him an opportunity to hear from his
people, and they w4nlcd removal, he
would obey theiT will. This oil looked
and sounded very well, but he could moi
long restrain bis real reasons, deep gea,ed
opposition to the bill and so soon
Showed his teeth. He warned mem
bers that common interests would
lead TO common action, and that many
other matters were hanging on the issue
OF this question.
Mr.. Brown said II he had drawn the
right conclusions from Mr.. Butchers re-
marks, twas time the friends Of this bill
were pressing this matter to tinality
he regretted that the opponents Of this
bill saw 1T TO make virulent remarks
against the citizens Of Wheeling. lie had

coming from the dominant party
