THE ILLINOIS SENATORSHIP.
The Democrats Again Dismayed ed by the
Paralysis OF senator Bridges.
SCHEMES TO PREVENT BALLoTIN0 FOR LoGAN's Sue
cEssoR UNTIL THE DEMOCRATIC QUOTA IN THE
LI0IsLATURH Is FULL.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, January ga dispatch re-
ceved here last evening states that Senator
Bridges. q democrat, OF Carrolton, was stricken
with paralysis, and is In a very precarous condi-
ton He has been IN infrm health for some time,
and threatened with the disorder which has at last
advised Of bis situation that he VIII not be able
return to the legislature This report has occasioned
great deal OF concern here the part OF the poll
tictans The interest OF his personal friends In his
welfare is quite overshadowed by the discussion
that is going on as TO the new phase the senatorial
question must assume I'm the event either OF his
death or continued absence The democrats are
already planning as to how they shall proceed in
the event OF their losing his vote on the senator
ship. lnasmuch as the law requires that the two
houses shall vote for senator ON the second Tues
day after their organization, It is not possible for
the democratic majority In the house TO post
pone the . time for the ballot except by
they have exhausted this means OF delay they will
stil have very effective method OF keeping on q
tority Of both houses may be present In the Joint
session when ballot1ng for Senator. The demo-
cratic majority in the house viii refuse TO
to their names on roll call and thus prevent quo
rum and an election. They can pursue this course
until either the absent senator or his ap-
pears The only limitation ON their action in this
line would be the dismissal OF the general ass sn.
bly, bv the governor
But even this emergency is being considered. IL
except where the two houses fail to agree on a
date for final adjournment, and therefore the lower
house can simply refuse TO receive or consider any
resolutions that may come from the senate propos-
Ing an adjournment sine die. BY doing this the
democrats say the house cannot be charged with a
failure to 'agree upon time. for the reason that
1t does not treat with the senate to time what
ever. 1t merely avoids the whole matter.
In addition 20 the news about the unfortunate
OF Saline is sax and Wi, nor he hese herors We

Jumping the Game.

From the Chicago Herald.
Senator Nesmith OF Oregon, recently deceased,
may be included within the category of the Do
ker kings.
1t Is related that he played in q game of poker
on one occasion at Portland, Ore, continuously
for six weeks. Ben Holiday and Rule Ingalls,
were in the same game. At the comIne ncement
of the seventh week II incidentally occurred to
Nesmlth that he had left horne Tor only few
days sojourn at Portland, and had not provided
his wife with sufficient money to last longer.
Perhaps she was starving or had been forced TO
beg food from neighbors. The thought was
possible condition in which his deserted family
might be placed through his infatuatioL for
could stand the narrowing reflection no longer,
and, rising from his scat, exclaimed:
gentlemen, You must excuse me. I am go

Is true. put heaven grant that Mrs Nesmit is

Ben Holiday, VINO would rather play poker

returning home. He at once blurted out In his
"Nesmith, L don't believe word Of your infer

''Great God" rejoined Nesmiih, lump the

Gently Jump the game: Curse me, if ever

never know when you have got enough, and

Away went Nesmith In y towering passion,
while Rufe ingalls,, who knew Nesm1th was
sincere In the matter came hear strangling
days impotent rage. The six weeks game,
therefore, broke up and Ben Holiday swore
even with Nesmith some day for Jumping the
