QUEER EPISODE IN THE SENATE.
An incident occurred in the senate to-day which
might be termed snub for Senator Pomeroy, chair
man of the Committee on tho Affairs OF Cities. Dur
sne ones ~rSucsa Resolution ssllina for the
addition OF q member Of the minority to Senator
Poneroys committee As Senator Jacobs was the
only democrat among the seven gentlemen who con-
stitute the committee, the proposition con-
sidered fair one and the resolution was adopted
Under 1t Mr.. Dorsheimer at oncc named Senator
Ecclesine the member. Half hour later
and when the episode had been forgotten, Mr.
Pomeroy entered. and hearing what had been DONE
mmed0tely moved to reconsider the vote. He dis
played decided displeasure and declared that he
thought it not courteous to adopt such q
resolution without previous consultation with
him as chairman OF the committee. Senator
Hughes asked what was the object OF tho
replied that disrespect had been shown to the COM
mittee. Such motion should emanate from some
member OF 1T. II he had been asked to introduce
such resolution he would have done with pleas
ure he thought it proper thing to do. but since
it hal been introduced without notice to the COM
Considered and the resolution tabled SO as to
give the committee time to consider 1t. Something
very like disInay sat upon the countenances OF the
republicans around the circle, and puzzled gances
were exchanged. 1t was an awkward predicament.
If they defeated the motion they would snub the
sible candidate for Governor; If they sustained
him they would hurt the feelings Of Senator
Eccesne, who had been appointed; OF Senator JONES'
who had introduced the motion, and stultify their
own action OF an hour before. Senutor Hughes
planned that disrespect had been intended toward
Mr. Pomeroy. The minority had only repre-
sentative in the committee. and it thought itself
titled to another-that was all there was in 1t.
