STATE SESATon HAMMOND OF Ornlsby,
has left his seat ht Carson, vacant, and
gone on trip to the Atlantic seaboard. !.
The Carson APpeai expresses a just
disapproSal OF this sort Of procedure
in the following unnistaksble language !:
The people OF ormsby elected Mr..
Hammond with the idea that he would
remain ut his post during the session
and perform the work which the mis-
guided taxpayers assigned him. He
was not elected TO put in bis time in q
Methodist Conference or take trans.
continental pleasure trips to the All. N tic
seaboard. We would like to see Mr..
Hammond make up his mind to either
turn preacher or politician, as his prea
ent attempt TO strsidle from the pulpit
to the legislative desk is neither salts.
factory to his aocks or his constitute nts.
Mr.. Hammond wishes to share the
honors and emoluinents Of office without
doing any Of the work. When running
for Senator he declined to, pay the full
amount Of the assessment levied upon
him by the Central Committee. on the
ground that he was DONG q great deal
OF work for the party. What work he
performed during tho campaign IL Ms
yet only a a'matter Of the widest conjec.
trre with anyone who knows anything
about the case. Probably on the same
ground he deserts his pos. for a pleas
ure trip. There Is s,rong talk OF pc.
tition asking for Lis resigsation.' - $780,.
