Governor Kellogg received a message from
Mr.. Wheeler regarding the four members
unseated yesterday in the House, In which
he says:
four members and while still remain Of the opinion
expressed to You and Packard feel not at liberty TO
give written opinion without the concurrence OF
'' '''''"''' wv. A. WHEELER"
Col. Packard states that the opinion ex-
pressed by Mr.. Wheeler was that the four
members were to retain their seats.
The Republicans claim that the action of
the Democrats i'm unseating four Republic
cans and seating four Democrats in their
places was q gross breach of the plighted
faith Of that party. They say the Legisla-
ture had come together with the same per-
sonnet as when il adjourned o. the close of
the regular session, and had made all the
changes recommended in the award. Both
bodies had then adopted a resolution that the
House should remain without change except
til new general election. The Republicans
contend that the only argument of any
weight offered by the Democratic majority
that carried the measure was that the men,
bers unseated had not been returned by the
Returning Board, whose other acts that same
majority have declared as illegal. These
Republicans had been ousted after contest,
and represented parishes which had hereto
fore been strongly Republican.
