Mr.. WH1rcoMB offered the following;
ORDERED, That the Clerk of the House
be directed to furnish each member and
officer of the House with one copy of the
Daily Eastern Argus, during the remainder
of the session.
Mr.. WEBB said the matter was up the
other day, and majority of the democratic
party decided to have the Maine Standard.
lie was perfectly willing that either the
Standard or Argus should be here, or any
other democratic paper, but he objected to
having two, and if this order was to be enter
tanned he would move to strike off the
Standard, SO as to have but one democratic
paper.
Mr.. PERKINS Of Pennington opposed the
order. The Standard had been voted, and
would have to be paid for, whether taken or
not. He thought if members wanted other
papers they should pay for them themselves,
and not vote them at the expense of the State.
! If the Eastern Argus was brought in, he
| should move that the Pennington Chronicle
| be taken.
| Mr.. ATwELL said that when the matter
was before up, many members thought
as matter of course that they were voting
for daily when they voted for the Standard,
and they were not corrected until an issue of
the Standard had been laid before them. While
he would not rescind the decision made by
the minority, still, personally. he thought he
was supported by a good many republican
members in wishing for a daily democratic
paper.
| bo
deal of dissatisfaction in regard to the matter,
and he had been requested by a large number
of Democratic friends to present this order,
from the fact that many of them supposed
that the Standard was daily paper.
Mr.. PERKINS of Pennington, was astonish-
ed that the Democrats did not understand
that the Standard was a weekly paper. HI
thought every one of them knew that tn,
Standard was not daily when they voted fo
!, it.
Mr.. CARLETON said that while he endeav
ored to stand here as the watch dog of thu
Treasury, yet he had always been for dis
seminating all the information the people de
sire. He considered this order in that light
, and he therefore Withdrew his appearance a
the Treasury door in this respect.
Mr.. WEBB said the support of this order BY
: the gentleman from Whitefeld, was, in hi
Judgment, burnt offering for the Irish yot,
of Whiefeld. He did not think the orde
i right We have voted ourselves six hundre,
dollars worth of the Revised Statutes, ant
yesterday we voted the Acts and Resolves o
9 1870. We have voted the Journal and Stand
ard, and are now asked to vote the Argus. /
this goes on there will net be money enough
in the Treasury to pay us our salaries.
Mr.. CARLETON said the gentleman from
! Wa;eryille spoke of the Revised Statutes an(
complains of their distribution to tht
; members. He did not know why HI
, should complain, for he thought there wa
j no member of this House who needed it more
} He regarded it as highly essential that ever,
member should have copy Of the Revised
, Statutes, that he may know what he is legis
lating about.
Mr.. LEBRoKE had favored democratic
, daily paper, inasmuch as many members dix
not vote Understandings, and he did no
think it would be right to rescind the vote or
dering the Standard.
, On motion of Mr.. PERKINS of Pennington
the question was ordered TO be taken by yea
and nays, and being taken it was refused
E passage; GO voting in the affirmative and 7:
