From the Champaign Times = E
The Republicans of the house. finding
that they cannot control the indie
pendent are now trying to
stop the wheels of legislrtion
by fillibustering. They even de-
clare that the Independents have been
kicked out of the Republican party. By
the time few more are kicked out, there
will be nobody left in that party to do the
kicking. ~ se.- @ ss =.

for the Republicans to accept the situation
and take back seat, and not until Thurs
day did they realize that they were in a
minority, and that on straight vote they
were corpse Verify, the last shall
be first, and the first shall be last.
The Republicans have all along been
zig hting on technical points, and making
points of order for the purpose of pro-
longing the session, and making it cost the
state more than any former legislature, for
the purpose of sending it forth to the peo-
pie for an electioneering document two
years hence, to show that the Opposition
are incapable of legislating, and that it
costs more to run an Opposition legisla-
ture than an Administration one. On last
Thursday, for the first, time, did the Oppo-
sition show their teeth and go for them
and when the firing began on the south
side of the house, then did they on the
north side tremble in their boots and sink
back in their seats exhausted, and sur
