In the report of proce adings Of the CROW
as published yesterday morning in the Blu
LETrS, Raby was recorded as having refuse
to vote Raby did vote, Ray did not, and Il
names got mixed.
HAHN's WING
was brought to order at 12:l5, and the 70
was called. 2. Jones Yorke was not half f
mad as he was on Monday, and came in ye
terday and answered to his name.
After delay of about fifteen minutes,
was announced that quorum had been OF
tanned.
The fifteen minutes were passed very pleas
antly. Murrell was in the chair, and tn
members made funny speeches, and Murrel
gave funny decisions.
The report Of the Committee on Elections
and Quallfica on the contest case OF w
d. Floyd vs.. O. L. Collins, was adopted, and
FLOYD was sworn in. Collins, unseated, is 8
Democrat, and was returned by the Return
ing Board Floyd's claim to the seats based
entirly on his political views.
The same committee reported in favor o.
F. Reichard, Republican contestant of the
seat of George p. Burkhard member OF
the House of Representatives from the Sev-
enth Ward of this city.
Pierson made lengthy speech in opposi-
sition to the resolution, strongly condemnng
the practice of seating men members be-
cause they were Republicans, when there was
nothing to show that they were entitled to
the seating of men for political reasons. He
moved thar the report be rejected.
A number of members took the floor to
speak when the order of the day was called.
1t was postponed fifteen minutes
Murrell took the floor and spoke against
the report, alleging that the Conservative ma
jority in the ward was unquestionable.
Heating made an allegation directly oppo-
site, and advocated the adoption Of the report
He believed that Riechard was elected. If he
was not, he should have been, and it was the
same thing.
Ray took the same stand az did Heating
and he went further and said Reichard ought
to be seated anyhow, to teach the Democrats
the lesson that intimidation would not pay.
Devices demanded the previous question on
the adoption Of the report. Pierson in the
chair.
Guichard made the point Of order that the
pending question was the motion to reject.
The chair decided the point well taken.
The point was raised that the motion to re-
ject was not seconded, and the point was sus-
tanned
Hahn then took the floor and spoke in
favor of the motion to adopt. He wanted |
Reichard seated because Reichard was Re-
publican, and the Seventh Ward was a Re-
publican ward
He was on principle opposed to unscating
Democrats, but seemed to be resigned when
for the purpose of seating Il Republican it
was necessary.
NIurrell called the previous question, and
the yeas and nays were demanded and called,
and the report was adopted by a vote OF 40
yeas to nays.
Guichard moved a reconsideration and
spoke very warmly in favor of it, and against
the action of the wing.
His motion, however, was tabled, and
Reichard, specimen negro legislator, was
sworn in.
