SENATOR RIDDLE.
Some editorials appearing tn the IntfT-
Oc<an Of this slato concerning Senator lid
dies action during the Senatorial contest two
years ago, correspondent Of The Ta1DusE
this evening captured the Legislative Scion
from Cook, aud demanded On explanation.
"Tlle statement is absurd on its face,"
said tile Senator.
"What ia the charged"
"Tho article III question" said tho Semi
tor, "chnrges TINT Esston nnd myself
went into room and Ind conference there
with Kshoo, Of Tie Seuatef aud Hickey, Of the
1louae, in which threatened that wo would
voto for Davis II they did not voto for Davis to
dcfcat Judge Lawrence, and that, on tho day
following, in pursuance Of that threat, Afr.
Easton's nnmc being called first on the roll,
lie did vote for Davis, and that, tAoroupon,
KcAoo aud Hickey voted for Davis too. The
article charges That then
WENT HACK ON MY AGREEMENT
with thom, wl,on my name was reached on
the list Of members, and voted for Law
renee"
SIS that statement true, Scnator7"
"Of courso It Is not To show how ut
terly stupid such statement is, it is
only necessary to refer to the official
journal Of the souatc, pago GIT, or
tho official journal OF tile House, pngo Ito,
copies Of which aro in almost every iibrary
aud newspaper Office in the State Of Illinois,
whero It will DO found that tho roll OF each
branch Of tho Legislature was called sepa-
ratoly, and, tho Senate boing first called,
Mr. Kshoo'a name was reached hrst on tho
roll, nn1 tho record shows that he voted for
Davis. Ny natno was next called, md the
record shows that
VOTED Fur LAWRENCE.
The roll Of tho House shows that Easton
voted for Lawrence. So 1t appears that of
tho four, Hickey voted Inst, casting bis bal-
lot for Davis. could not, therefore, hayo
violated my agrecmont with these men, In
tho nature Ut thiugs. Tho fact is, I mover
met Mr., Kehoe mud A1r. Hickey together on
tho Senatorial question, and I never had any
conversation with them IN tho e,l,icct SOM.
ratcly In my life. don't even know Alr.
Hickey by sight. md think both Mr.
Hickey and A1r. Kehoe are
uoNolsAnt.E ENOUGH IT. DEAR NE OUT
in tile statement that nothing Of the kind ro-
forrcd to over took plnce."
"Now, whit about this other editorial
