Columbus, O., Jan. G-Everything is
quiet this morning but both sides, how
ever, seem firm and developments are
looked for by evening.
The Jackson club,a leading democratic
organization of central Ohio held a meet
ing last night, n as q result a mass
meeting was called for at the city hall
to night to take expression on the con-
duct and alleged usurpation by the
lieutenant governor. The meeting was
announced in the democratic morning
papers with inAammatory aecompania.
ments and the announcement
that the members of the
senate will he present with
other prominent democrats, and
probably that Allen G. Thurman will be
present at the meeting. This move is
condemned by the republicans and does
not find favor with the democrats on the
ground hat it will have a tendendcy to
intensity the already strong feeling and
spirit of violence. The republican eau
Gus named a committee of five yesterday
to meet with similar committee from the
democratic caucus today. The object
of the conference is stated to be
for a consideration of some proposed
changes in the rules for the govern
ment of that body and the subject of
the Hamilton county contests and how
they shall be conducted.
The democratic caucus met at 10 a. NJ,
when among other things, q committee
was selected. A meeting of the joint
committee will be held later and it is
expected they will have concluded their
work before the time for the meeting of
the joint senate at ii p. NJ.
Mr.. Welsh, the democratic senator
from Athens, states they propose to
have their relations with the president
settled before they proceed to other
business. They are not inclined to pre-
cipitate matters too early, but there is a
probability that in case nothing is &C.
complished by the joint committee that
q resolution will be offered asking for
the suspension or the expulsion Of the
president. They prefer, however, that
this final move should not be insugur-
ated for a day or two, unless the situa-
tion from their standpoint demands
it. Welsh says the demand of the mas
iority can be summed up as requiring
that the president shall respect the rights
of that body in his rulings, and a COM
mittee of 1hree from each side will be
appointed to go to Cincinnati and inves-
tigate the alleged frauds In the election.
The republican senate met in the senate
chamber at 10 O'Clock and had prayer
read, and approved the journal. Then
they settled down for work, being unable
to transact business for want of a quo-
rum. They were al! republicans and no
democrats.
President Kennedy informed the
associated press this morning that there
is no change in their programme and
they expect to meet from day to day as
they have been doing. He said they
only had one thing in view and that is
to proceed as soon as they can to secure
a quorum and hear the Hamilton coun-
ty cases in open senate, He wanted
to give them q fair trail and considered
that the only proper way to do it, under
the circumstances. Kennedy says the
republican senate will remain in session
until four o'clock, the time of the meet
ing of the joint senate.
The democratic caucus sent q commu-
nication to the republican caucus ask
ing that they submit their proposition
for a conference IL writing, and setting
forth the leading objects of the same.
The republicans replied to the COM
munication from the democratic caucus,
saying they have no proposition or COM
promise to submit, but will meet the
committee of the democratic caucus for
the purpose of a conference, if desired.
A compromise is being TALKED of in both
branches and on the streets and it is
thought it will force some action by the
contending forces.
The caucus committees agreed on o
conference for 1880 p. M. The impress
sion to be gained from both sides is that
nothing will be accomplished. The
democrats have decided not to recede
from the position which they have taken
and say the only question is, whether II
or 20 members shall rule. They will not
consent to any proposition which will
preclude the Hamilton county senators
from voting in contest of the 4th.
