Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1881-07-20

The stalwarts did not keep faith with the
democrats at Albany on the 18th. The motion
in the assembly for final adjournment on the
18th, proposed by Dayton, democrat, was voted
for by forty five democrats and only seven stall
warts, and was defeated. This made the demo
geance on the faithless stslwarts. They threat
ened to remain away when senators are voted
for, and thus give the administration men an
opportunity to elect Miller and Lapham. The
display of democratic indignation evidently
weakened the Conklingites for upon taking a
vote next day the resolution for final adjourn
ment on the 10th was carried by vote of 62 to
usual, Miller reaching 70, with 70 necessary to
4 choice. The hope Of the stalwarts is said to
be that should an adjournment now be carried,
the governor would convene the legislature
later in the year, when Miller and Lapham will
not be available candidates on account of the
shortness of the time before convening con-
gress, in which event they think they can elect
Conkling.
On the 10th inst. the deadlock was partially
broken by break in the stalwart forces, Speak
er Sharpe leading the deserters. Warner Mil
Ter, of Herkimer, was elected to the Platt va
cancy. The break also materially reduced
Conklings vote to succeed himself but an ad-
the alf-breeds.
