were unprepared for what followed.

The leaders of both parties have been
busy all day, planning the campaign
The object oftbe republicans is to- get
the Spofford- Kellogg case before the Sem
ate before that of Mr.. Butler. The Elec-
tion Committee will accordingly report
fayorably to Kellogg in the morning
hour. The resolution will, under the
rules, 60 over for a day. After the morn-
ing hour Mr.. Hoar's motion to lay on the
table Mr.. Thurman's resolution seating
Mr., Butler will come up. 1t will he re-
jected, and thus the Butler case will be
before the Senate, The republicans will,
in that ease endeayor to have that go
over for day also, and on this there will
be q struggle. 1t is probable tonight
that they will be beaten, and that Butler
will keep precedence of kellogg. 1t is
taken for granted that Butler will get his
seat; after that all is uncertain except this
that the Louisiana Senatorship win not
be decided without a long and tedious
