The House Yesterday.
! The House met at II o'clock-Speaker
| Fowler in the chair.
! II was thought that the attendance OF
members would be slim. as so many OF
them left the city saturday. but such was
not the ease.
Shortly after the reading OF the journal
the consideration Of the joint resolution To
extend the session was resumed.
The question was on agreeing to Mr.
Farr's amendment 20 strike on, "tcn' and
insert " thirty"
Mr.. Nic0l, being entltleu 10 thc houI,
concluded his remarks which were begun
on Saturday. He reiterated what he had
already SAID from Democratic
standpoint there was no necessity Tor
either an extended or extra session. The
Rcad'usters wanted more time for the pur-
pose Of pcrfccting purely party measures
The Democrats believed that these measures
would be hurtful to the interests OF the
state, and therefore he did not see how
they could favor the resolution. He could
NOT believe that Governor Cameron would
II .,, n,,t,-1 session solely In the interest.
