| AFTERNOON SESSION.
Senate convened at Pm.
Special order for the hour was
the consideration of Senate Con-
current Resolution No. %, by Den
nis-Relative to submitting to the
people the question Of holding a
Constitutional Convention. Mr..
Dennis spoke to the merits Of the
Resolution holding that it was
through misapprehension Of the
majority of the people that their
votes did not call for such Con-
vention at the last general election.
Mr.. Fish did not think that was
the reason. He believed that the
people were against such Conven-
ton, and so believing, would feel
obliged to vote against the Reso |
luton.
MIR. Briggs thought it could do
no harm to give the people another
chance and hoped it would be
adopted.
Mr.. Williams believed the pres
ent manner sufficiently near the
people. The action of the new
Constitution in California did not
appear very satisfactory. He was
lgainst calling a Convention.
Mr.. Dennis thought it hardly a
parallel case. He thought it only
air to give the people another
nance and hoped the Resolution
vould be adopted. Resolution was
sst by vote Of ayes 13, noes 5.
Two-thirds votes being required.)
lr. Williams as an act of courtesy
ave notice of motion to reconsider
omorrow.
