Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1886-01-28

with Congressman Converse all day
yesterday and last night, and It is re-
ported that a number of able Demo-
their moral support to the Democratic
Senators. The Democrats have the
Senate and will hold it until dispersed
at the point of the bayonet. From the
wild and loud mouthings of the Repub-
lican ringsters, nothing will satisfy
them but blood and offices. They will
get neither, for the good people of Ohio
are now sending kilograms to the Sena-
tors to move slow and do nothing but
which Is right.
$3.50 p. m.,-The Democratic Senators
have just filed into the chamber and
were received with cheers by the lobby,
which was soon checked by the SER
geant-at-arms, and the tactics of the
afternoon were proceeded with. The
call of the Senate showed all the men,
bers, thirty-seven, present, and mo-
ton to dispense with further proceed
ings under the call would not be enter
tanned by the chair, he holding that the
call had exhausted itself by the pres
ence of all the members. Over an hour
was spent in discussing an appeal from
his decision, which was afterward with
drawn and the chair allowed the mo-
ton to dispense with further proceed
ings to be voted upon. There was no
apparent point to be gained either way
over the motion. In the flood of SUBJ
sequent motions and appeals which fol-
lowed, the Republicans were insisting
on order of the day, and endeavoring to
get the contest cases before the Senate,
while the Democratic side was endeav-
oring to get before that body resolu-
ton which had been agreed on in eau
Gus, proposing the appointment of a
committee to consider the constitutional
and legal relations existing between the
Senate and its presiding officer. Pavy
(Rep.) had been recognized, and was
about to report the rules for the trial of
the contest cases, when a motion was
made on the Democratic side to adjourn.
The chair held this and several other
motions of dilatory nature, not to be
in order
Mr.. Pavey yielded the floor to Mr..
Cable (Dem.) for question of privi-
lege, and the member was proceeding
to state his question, and making the
Democratic caucus resolution q part OF
the same, but the chair held that moth
ing was in order except the rules in the
contest cases, and also decided that
Pavey was entitled to the floor. The
Democrats, being unable to get their
resolution before the Senate, final
motion was made to adjourn, and a de-
mand made by the Democrats that the
clerk proceed with a call of the roll.
The president at first endeavored to
drown the voice of the clerk with his
gavel, but finally became quiet and the
roll was called, twenty-six members
voting for an adjournment. The DEM
ocratic members rose from their seats
and started out, while the clerk handed
the roll to the president to be an
nounced. That official tore it in several
pieces and threw it on the floor. while
the crowd surged in front of the railing
and the greatest confusion and demon
stration prevailed.
The clerks all left their places, and as
as soon as partial order could be re-
stored, the president proceeded to read
the rules. himself, which had been
offered by Mr.. Pavey. With one of the
senators at the clerks desk, the Repub-
lican minority voted on the rules and
they were declared adopted.
The results of the Senate proceedings
are about where they were this morn
ing. The Democratic adjournment was
taken to Wednesday at A p. M, and the
Republicans until Tomorrow.
