The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1883-01-23
A Recent 0ccurenc at Springfield.

Violations of the organic law by leg
islature who have sworn in the most
solemn manner to support the constitu-
ton are unfortunately too common; yet
the men who thus prove recreant to their
trust genearlly attempt by bubbles more
or less plausible to prove that no infract
ion of that important instrument had really
occurred. 1t is rare, indeed, that law
makers advertise the fact that the perjury
they commit in violating the. constitution
they have sworn to support is open and
deliberate and done with the full knowl-
edge that what they are about to do is
perjury and nothing else.
On the 18th inst. eighty members of the
Illinois house of representatives, includ-
ing ten republicans. voted for the follow
ing resolutions:
WHEREAS, 1t will be The duty of the
members of the thirty-third general
sembly, now in session, TO elect senator
in the congress of the United States, to
serve for a term of six years, beginning on
the 4th day of March, 1888, and
WHEREAS, Section five, of article five, of
the constitution OF the state of Illinois,
which the members of this honse have
sworn to support, provides that neither
the governor or heutenant-governor,
auditor of public account, secretary of
state, superintendent of public instruction,
nor Encouragement, shall be eligible to
any other office during the term for which
he shall have been elected" therefore
Res0JDed, That it is the sense of this
house that none of the officers of the state
mentioned in the aforesaid article of the
constitution, should be voted for by mem
bers of this house for the office of United
States senator; but should serve out the
full term of the offices to which they were
elected by the people of the state.
Resotoed, That it is the sense of this
house, that proper construction of said
section five of article five of the state
constitution. is that the trainers thereof
intend to prohibit the bartering of the
official patti onage of the state by any of
