Senator McWhorter took another stand
for the state militia today.
"A Joint resolution was offered by
him providing for the appointment Of
. committee TO consider the propriety
OF re-imbursing the militia with the
amount Of money expended by them a,
the Inauguration ofPresident Cleveland,
and to report by bill or otherwise.
Senator Ca ender opposed the adoption
OF the reso ution On the ground that
the subject had been considered before
the Inauguration. A few days before
the Legislative excursion to Washing
ton Mr.. MoWhorter offered a joint
resolution appointing u committee to
consider and report upon the advisa.
bility OF III furnishing transportation for
the militia.
The resolution was adopted, and the
committee, after Coniering with the AID
jutant General, drcided that the plan
was iDadviE sable, and made IL report to
that effect. Mr. Lavender claimed that
this repor. covered the whole ground,
and that the Legislature was NOT called
upon to consider the subject again. TIE
mem beers OF the militia who went to
Washington took the trip upon their
own responsibility, and he did not
think that the State should bear the ex-
pense Mr.. New horter urged the
fact that 1t was not the purpose of the
present resolution to make an appro-
priaticn bill simply to appoint "a com
mittee 10 take the subject into corsid

The militia had made a display at
Washington which every Delawarean
might well be proud of, and ii was not
treating them with prop,r respect 10
refuse to consider the subject of re i'm
bursting them. Other States had made
large appropriations for the militia on
tue occasion CT the Inauguration, and it
would look very small in the General
Assembly Of Delaware, if it should re-
fuse even to APT oint this committee.
The resolution was afterwards adopted
