SENATE STATIONERY.
The Senate renewed the consideration of the
resolution pending at the adjournment Friday
night, the question being on Mr.. Browns mo
tion TO reconsider the vote adopting Mr.. Wright's
resolution directing the State Librarian to fur
nish stationery for the use of the Senate.
Mr.. Bundy declared the State Librarian to be
the person authorized by law to furnish station
cry for the use of the General Assembly, and
read section 1898 of the statutes and others,
eontendinE that the bureau of printing was re-
CURED to attend to the printing, binding. etc.
II mad been the custom that the librarian furnish
the stRtionery-last session on a resolution offered
by the Senator from Allen (Mr.'BelD. The law
and precedent are both IN favor of the resolu-
ton, and it ought to pass. He opposed the mo-
ton to reconsider,
Mr.. Bell said it did not make a snaps diff
ference with him who furnished this stationery,
by Republican State officers, in which are in
Guided all sorts of paper, engrOssing papeT,
contract was awarded to the lowest bidder, and
no doubt is at a price lower than the small
quantity deeired by the Senate can be now
purchased. No person should be authorized to
go outside and purchase for MS in the face of this
contract made with sworn officers of the State.
The resolution should be framed so as to come
under this contract in the proper and regular
way.
The motion to reconsider was agreed to by
yeas 25, nays 90.
Mr.. Brown moved to amend the resolution by
striking out, and in serting new matter requiring
persons acting for the Senate to make requisi-
ton on the public bureau OF printing, and all
other will be unauthorized. He said he mad not
lost all confidence In some Of the acts u the Re
publican party, and when it was in its full bloom
ana grandeur the popular representative branch
OF the Republican party adopted this very reso-
lutlon. He proposed to accept this wise act,
sanctiied by the action of the Republican party.
Mr.. Bundy moved, neffectually-yeas 20, nays
26-to lay this substitute on the table. The sub
stitute was agreed to, and the resolution, as
amended, being read, was adopted without a
division.
The Senate then adjourned till Monday.
