mol mucn mas been accomplished
In the Legislature in the way of
Legislation, and not much can now
be hoped for, as the constitutional
limit for the sitting of the Legisla-
ture will be reached this week.
Resolutions have been offered in
both houses looking to an extension
OF the Legislature, but does not
seem to meet with much favor, and
is not likely to receive the requisite
two-thirds vote.
The appropriation bills have been
introduced in the house, and is as
follows.
Penitentiary-salary of supsrin-
tendent, $500; clerk 81 900; physi-
clan $500; chaplain, $3.50; for furni-
ture, sLs9O5 for estimated deficiency
$500. asylum at Spencer-to be
divided equally for the years 1889
and 1890: for buildings, $4,000;
boilers and engines, 81 600; radiators
and heating apparatus, $1,000; tanks
and reservoir $4,000; sewer for
pipes, 81 500 The sum of $4,000
for two years, for a new building at
Concord normal school. To the
sheriff of jackson county for con-
veying lunatics to kentucky, ss9. 90.
$500 was given for copying and
binding the delinquent land books
in the Auditors Office. The ianitor
xas allowed s337.5O for extra ex-
penses- The other appropriations
not yet prepared by the Finance
Committee.
1t is doubtful if the appropria-
ton bills will be passed, as there is
disposition to hold them back, so
the Governor will be compelled to
convene the Legislature in extra
session.
The Senatorial matter Is the sxme
from day to-day, and it is getting
monotonous. 1t looks as if Kenna
is beaten by the obstinancy of one
H1an-norr. There is no palliating
excuse for the conduct of this man,
unless IL be-. that he imagines him
self greater than his party He is
trying TO make himself notorious,
by the use of the free advertising
he is getting from the press. HIS
conduct should cause him to be ha-
ted and stunned by all men.
The Democrats have conferenced
and conferenced, and each time de-
terrnTned to stick to Kenna; and of
one thing rest assured, it will be
Kenna, or no one, for he has friends
who will stay with him, and who
can, and will be as stubborn as Mr..
DeFr1 and they will never consent
to. e. withdrawal of Mr.. Kenna's
name
There is some talk about Judge
Fleming for Senator, but this hon
orable gentleman has put his foot
down on this proposition, and says
he would not accept the election, if
made, under the circumstances He
recognizes that Mr.. Kenna is the
Democratic caucus nominee, and
should receive. the Democratic vote
and be elected.
On.the contest for Governorship
tho. Democrats are as one; and SO it
may be said. of the Republicans
There is general feeling that Mr.
Fleming is entitled. to. the Office,
and that it will be SO shown if a full
and fair investigation is had. The
Democrats only desire to honestly
look into the matter, and if the in
yestigation don't show the frauds
charged to exist, the Democrats will
be the first to vote to seat Gen.
COZ. But they will resist every eff
tort to seat him until the investiga-
ton s.had-
The Republicans, however, claim
that Goff is elected on the faee of
the returns, which is true, and they
demand. that he be seated, pending
contest, This they claim is what is
demanded by the Constitution, and
of course they make very strong
case from their standpoint.
There is now, no doubt, but what
Golf will take the oath of office on
the 4th of March, as will Fleming.
But it is hardly likely that Golf will
undertake to assume the functions
os the office, for it would be revolu-
tionaZy, and. such a course would
not meet the appreciation of the
people of this State, nor would it
be sanctioned by his own party
Violence and force to. obtain the of
fee, would be thing too. fearful to
even think of Gen. Golf has too
much sense to engage in such a
scheme. Blow and bluster, and
talk "a cheap. Don't be alarmed
