ate be directed to furnish to each Senator,
the Secretary and Assistant Secretary, and
the Messengers, one copy of the Daily Ken
:, nebec journal, and one other daily paper,
a published in this State, such as each Senator
n or officer may select.
I. Mr.. MoRRIs said one paper located at the
r capital and giving the daily legislative pro-
r ceedings is regarded as a necessity. In ad-
dition to this it has been customary for Il
o number of years as a matter of courtesy to
s the minority to give them a democratic paper.
= The paper named in his order was, aside from
= its politics an ably conducted and enterpris-
!. ing journal. He hoped that ii would be fur
nshed members.
. Mr.. FLETCHER, expressed bis preference for
Il the Standard.
Mr.. DINoLEY did not see the least reason
S against Senators selecting the paper they
would wish to have. While he would regard
= the rights of the minority at this board, he
d could see no reason why the principles of
i the Argus should be placed before US daily.
n Mr.. MAY wanted the privilege of taking
such paper as he liked. For one, although
+ a republican, he would like to read Marcellus
Emery's paper, the Democrat, because it was
true exponent of the democratic party.
He gave Mr.. Emery the credit of standing up
manfully in his opposition to the war.
Mr.. FLETCHER moved to amend by inserting
N after the word daily the words ''or week
II ly, in the order.
:. his amendment was adopted and the
v order was passed as amended.
