The resignation Of Senator Caldwell
was oCcasioned by his knowledge that
many Republican Senators would vote
Tor Mr.. Ferry's resolution OF expulsion,
though It is not certain the necessary two
thirds vote would have been secured there
Or. 1t is believed that majority might
have been obtained, but Caldwell did not
desire to remain in the Senate with even
4 minority vote for expulsion, but pre-
erred TO resign and refer the whole mat
Ter TO the people OF Kansas. Caldwell
will not return TO Kansas for week or
ten days.
