| ton of its members. TIE House for such
purpose consisted of a quorum OF its members.
The question of the right of member to his
seat was of the highest privilege, and no rule Of
the House could be exercised by the minority
| to prevent quorum from performing its con-
stitutional right, and should the Speaker sus-
tain the ruling he would refuse to entertain
any dilatory motions from the Democrats.

consideration against an election case, and to
say that member had not the right to meve

Albany specia. says Ex-Speaker George 81.
Sharpe has been questioned by several friends
in relation to Conkling's comments in the

had no knowledge of its existence until it was
in print. The article appeared in the Free
man Of Friday last l was here at the time,
and did not return TO Kingston until Sunday !;
but l had no connection with the article
whatever. Mr.. Marseilles, the editor OF the
paper, is responsible for it, and I think he
knows how to take care of himself. You
know how the Freeman was one of the three
or four stalwart papers that advocated Conk-
ling's re election. Marseilles was here great
deal during that struggle, and has good deal
of personal knowledge of the subject"
"a year ago 1t was reported, and the state.
ment has frequently been repeated since,
that at q conference of stalwarts in New
York in May previous to the election, you
made a speech, in which you earnestly urged
Conkling to go to Albany and seek q re.elec-
tion."
81 never made such speech. 1t is q
falsehood."
ibid you advise Conklins to go to Albany
ard seek reelection"
"No. Mr.. Conkling does not give the
names of the men who advised him to 60 to
Albany. should like to know their names
l don't know who they were, and yet think
Let Conkling disclose the names of these
men, and expose them to the shame of having
given him such advice. Whom did he
consult in Washington before resigning his
place as United States Senator? Did he con-
suit any of his friends here or in this State
He never consulted them. He went back on
them, and now seeks to put his defeat for
reelection on their shoulders. Yes, let us
know who was responsible for that defeat"
