When this report was read the big
nosed Vinton county Representative of
Fraud Noyes and Bateman made a mo-
ton to have the minority report adopt

debate; in fact, the debate became so
warm at times that 1t was expected the
members would resort to blows; in fact,

from Fayette intimated that if the
Democrats did not quietly submit to
the rulings of the chair they would be
compelled to do so by force. In re-
sponse to this Kennedy said that he
would hold that as the Cincinnati Sen
ators were interested they could not
vote, and instructed the clerk to call the
roll and omit their names. The call
was made and only seventeen Senators
answered to their names. This number
Kennedy said was majority of all
those entitled to vote, so that the sub
stitute was. adopted, and the gang
cheered and clapped their hands with
joy, but this did not tend to show that
they have the best of the fight by any
means, for
KENNEDY WAS BULLHEADED
and treated the Democratic members
more like dogs than human beings when
they demanded call for the yeas and
nays on adjournment. Notwithstand-
ing this fact the high-handed president
declared the Senate adjourned until to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. He inn
mediately left his seat, something that
Entrekin would not do, and proceeded
to the rear of the chamber in the style
ofa conquering hero of the Sullivan
stripe.
THE MAJORITY TAKE POSSESSION.
He had no sooner left his seat when
that gallant, gray-headed, honest old
Senator, Hon. John O'Neill, president
pro tenn. of the Senate, assembled the
stairs, and with the gavel called the
Senators to order and had the roll called
on adjournment. This resulted nays
20, yeas II. The Senate then adjourned
until Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 25.--It was precisely
10 o'clock when Lieut.. Gov. Kennedy
assembled to the Presidents chair in the
Senate chamber. All of the seventeen
Republican members were in their
seats, but scarcely two score Of outsid-
ers occupied the spaces allowed to pri-
veleged spectators or the general public,
and majority of these had the ear
marks of the habitual lounger.
At 10:05 a. m. the President an
nounced that in the absence of the Sec
reJary the journal of Saturday would be
read by Senator Ford, and as the journal
proper has been, according to report,
locked up in the safe of local business
house, Senator Ford was compelled to
perform his duty by reading from a
couple of sheets of foolscap.
No objection was made to the minutes
and the clerk pro tenn. had scarcely ta-
ken his seat when Senator Fassett, of
Mahoning, was upon his feet and voci-
feriously claiming the attention of the
chair. The President, however, was
busily engaged in comforting with half
dozen Senators, and it was not until
fifteen minutes had elapsed that Sena-
tor Fassett was successful in announce
ing that he had risen to question of
privilege. Before, however, he could
state his question, which was intended
to be an attack upon the Senate report
er of the Times of this city for certain
matters in his report of Saturdays pro-
ceedings, Fassett was surrounded bv
his brother Senators and induced to let
the matter drop. Then another long
wait ensued, the evident purpose of the
chamber being to kill time.
Senate Chamber-11:15 a. m.-The
Republicans have determined to adopt
the sit it out" policy and nothing has
been done since the reading of the jour
nal. President Kennedy is deep in the
perusal of the morning papers, and the
bulk of his colleagues are following his
example. A few moments ago Allen
o. Myers entered the chamber and re-
quested look at the journal of Satur-
day. There was whispered confiab
between Senators Ford and President
Kennedy, during which a copy of the
journal was hurriedly made and the
original locked up in Ford's desk.
Myers was then allowed to peruse the
copy, after which he retired with bows
aud smiles.
A meeting of the Democrats is now
IN progress to determine upon plan of
proceedings for this afternoon.
