solemn valedictory, grotesque In Its
pious fevor, and full Of latent sarcasm,
and was fitting finale to the late unla-
mented. Brother Lyons explained that
he did not propose to take cent for
services as Chaplain, and in response
was cheered TO the echo.
In response to call for q speech,
Palmer, Of Cuyahoga, sang a serse OF
America"
Then the House took O recess until
two minutes before two o'clock. Mem
bers went around saying good-by, while
others sang. A few acted like unedu-
Gated and boOrish oodlums-which
they probably were-throwing books
and other missiles at the heads of re-
spectacle and well-behaved people.
THE FINAL SCENES OF ADJOURNMENT
In both Chambers were fiat to the last
degree, save that the House took oc-
casiOn to snub and insult Speaker En-
trekin, or rather the Republican side
did. He came in at the very last mom-
ent, and, ascending to the chair, said:
I'm closing this session of the General
Assembly, I perhaps owe the House an
apology for absence; but this was Oc-
casioned by obligations assumed before
being elected. When the Republicans
came into power the Treasury was
empty, but that has been remedied. I
congratulate the members on the work
of the session, and on the fact that not
a single measure has been passed to
which the slightest suspicion attached.
The laws enacted are all of a beneficial
character, particularly that Of the Dow
BILL"
The gravel fell promptly at three, and
the House was declared adjourned until
January 4, 1887, at A p. m.
These remarks, delivered in broken
and halting manner, were received with
disrespectful groans or contemptuous
silence. AS soon as he vacated the
chair, Speaker protein. Ryan was cal
led up and received with three rousing
cheers, but modestly declined to make
O speech. Inever before saw a presid-
ing officer treated with such marked
disrespect as was Speaker Entrekin, by
the Republicans especially.
The accuracy of his remarks about
fiscal offairs may be estimated when 1t
Is said, and said truthfully, that when
the Republicans came into power there
was nearly half a million in the
treasury. To-day the vouchers of the
Legislative employees were returned to
them for lack of funds.
AT THE SENATE" END.
AS the hands of the clock in the SEN
ate Chamber pointed to three the scene
became inexpressibly dull, and the
monotonous reading of the journal add
ed to the funereal aspect of things. As
soon as it ended Lieutenaht-G Governor
Kennedy said: "Gentlemen, I can not
let this opportunity pass without re-
turning thanks for the cordial support
extended to me at all times during the
session. I trust that you will have a
pleasant journey home, and that shall
have pleasure of meeting you on
January 4th, when the adjourned ses-
sion meets, and with this I declare the
session closed" and the gavel fell.
"Finis" was written at the bottom ol
the last page of revolution, and the
legislators in numbers hastened to
catch the trains. Others remained to
take hand in the slaughter of Demo.
cratic office-holders which has been in
augurated.
