Special Correspondence Of the lntCllgepCer;
-sI'want to say8Wufa Recommendation
Of the Republican memhsFa Of this Leg
islature, II has been said ~ d few bit
ter partisans that they have displayed u
disposition to impede legislation, 1t is
not true, They have done no such thing.
They are the most earnest working
members in both branches Of the Legis-
laturc. They seem tohave lost sight Of
party in determination y pass whole
some and appropriate laws, For several
days past the truthilhiess n this state
ment has been proven by their votes ip
joint assembly, They have had il ih
their power a number Of times To carry
the motion that il made day. after day Ia
continue the Joint session until u United
States Senator Il elected, but the Repub.
licans have always refused to corporate
with such movement, for the simple
reason that 1t blocks legislation and
makes everything secondary To the elet-
ton Of u Senator. They arc to be com
mcnded for snch a conrsc. They aru
largely in the minority, and are not re-
spoRSible for the lava that are enacted,
nor can they bSheld responsible for the
failure 10 pass laws that IRE held by alltd
b. necessary TO the prosperity and wen
being 81 the State. They have the ability
to check the wheels Of lcgislalioh If they
were 40 ,lisljOSed, but II Is an unbeatable
truth that they have. worked harder 70
accomplish something In the wayof legis-
latiOn during tho session than anyOt the
Democratic members THEY don't care
who Is United States Senator, consequent.
ly they have their minds on the business
OF legislation, while On the other hand
the Democratic are totally absorbed in the
Senatorial fight The Republicans, few
as they are, are doing more towards Civ
ing the people proper laws than all Of
the Democratic members combined, =
The bill Of Senator Mctiinnis, Of CNbCll
county, to F!Jqy
ABOLISH ALL HOTEL LICENSES
is one Of no ordinary interest 1t does
away with the license system altogether,
and allows every person to keep enter
tainmcnt free OF tax who may desire 10
do so. II IA drive at tho Civil Rights
bill recently passed by Congress. Mack
wants the bloodalpcopfc Of West Virginia
10 be placed in a position that they can
refuse to entertain d "nigger" II hc should
attempt to force himself upon them. II

punished for refusing to entertain tgen.

object Of tho bill, and ! really belieye
