An Exciting Caucus Held Last
Evening,
THE LEGISLATURE TO NOMINATE A
CANDIDATE TODAY

CONCORD, juno ia Republican caucus
was held Immediately after adjournment Of
the Legislature tonight. A resolution was at
once submitted declaring the sense of the eau
Gus to be that the legislature should proceed
tomorrow to the election of United States
Senator for term of six years beginning
March 4, 1883. Gen. Marston opposed the res
olutiou declaring that the House was the
proper place for the discussion Of the question
involved. lie desired harmony in the party
but an attempt to force resolution like this
would be productive of trouble and confusion.
Let us 60 on with the debate in the House-a
fair debate and fair vote-and all will be salts
factory. No party can or ought to be bound by q
caucus vote in a matter of this kind. He de-
MED any personal feeling. There was time
when seat in the United States Senate would
have gratltied him but any reports as to pres
emit desire in that direction were without foun-
dalton.
w. E. Chandler Of Concord, strongly op-
posed the resolution declaring no one had a
right to thrust it down the Threats of the party
against the views of its trusted leaders When
he became ready to present himself as candi-
date he would duly announce his intentions
The discussion was continued with great an
lmatlon, several members expressing their
views Mr.. Green was appealed to to with
draw his resolution, but declined, and Messrs.
Stevens, Hartman, Marston and Chandler de-
clared they could not vote for Or against it.
The latter said its author was taking the re-
spouslplIiGy OF ulVldlnS uno party into TWO faC-
tons, upon which there is not party ques-
ton, but one of law.
The resolution passed without dissent, the
antielection members refraining from voting.
After considerable business it was voted to
meet to- morrow morning to nominate candi-
date for Senator. The proceedings of to-night's
caucus caused decided sensation in political
circles and the probable action of the House
tomorrow is theme of excited discussion.
The caucus will be held in the morning.
when Rollins will probably be nominated and
consultation of "bolters'' or non-election
men will be held and their course decided up
on. In joint convention before the incr ease
caused by the recent admission of members
the non-electionists required thirty-seven votes
to unite with the Democrats and defeat an
election, but now it will be necessary to have
about forty. The present outlook is for very
exciting session tomorrow.
