In the house yesterday afternoon, caused by
the resolution Of MIR. Brown, OF Warren, con.

cause the move was unexpected, but because
the Hamilton county muddle was the first move
made after the organization of the house. The
resolution, SO suddenly sprung. fell like a thun-
derbolt on the democrats, and their pleading
for time and an investigation not only indi-
Gated that they felt themselves at the mercy of

while they recognized the tenure Of the Cncin.
natl members as hanging on a mere thread,
their only hope was in delaying the final ver-
dict until after the senatorial election. Last
night the democrats held joint caucus i'm the
governors office. Mr.. Cole, OF Stark, said If the
republican members of the house thought il
would benefit their party they would bounce
the democratic members from Hamilton county
to-day. Senator ]. C. Hopple, of Hamilton
county, said if the republicans are going TO
pursue revolutionary tactics in the house the
democrats will do the same in the sem
ate. II the republicans summarily throw out
the democrats from Hamilton in the house
he was IN favor of the twenty democratic sena-
tors refusing to go into joint ballot on the
OuiVeo states senatorsnlp. unless quorum oil
Doth branches is present the election OF a
United States Senator cannot be carried on. Mr..
Hopple also expressed himself in favor OF the
senate refusing TO recognize the house If the
democrats from Hamilton are expelled. Others
favored the democrats assuming the offensive.
1t was resolved to appoint a committee of five
to decide upon plan OF action for the demo-
Gratis. Senators O'Neil and Nancleaf and Rep
