eURrIoys Or PRIVILEGE.
Senator Goucier rosesto question OF sfsr.yilege
and among other tn ingE SAID:
Mr.. President: waft to call the attention of
this Senate 20 some matters which appeared in
two of the5an Francisco newspapers o. to day,
4one in the. Coll and the other in UhezE-dminer.
That in the Eram,6asy- is found in the column
lheaded,"cur Lively legislators, and is as fol-
lows:
..The Democratic party was thrown down
again TO night by Boucher, MeaIy, Roth and
Mead. On motion A0f Senator Wilson. the SEN
ate had agreed TO take up the Governors ap-
pointments at o'clock this evening, but when
the time came Wilson moved 10 postpone the
matter until Tomorrow. The four Democrats
named stood in with Wilson and arcombination
was at once scented. The trade is represented
to have been that .the four were &c confirm the
Pilot Commissioners and the Fish Commission
er> on q Reconsideration, and in return for that
were to get the Governors signature to the
friends saw the play, and learning that the
trade was not completed and that de-
lay was sought for tie purpose
of finishing negotiations they went
TO Senator Murphy, and showed him how he
was being thrown down on the Pilot Commits
sion by the men with whom he had voted on
the Glenn county bill Murphy told them to
go ahead and block the game, and they pro-
ceeded to copper the plans of the four by voting
the same way. This demoralizec the combina-
ton. and seeing that he had votes enough, Will
son suddenly concluded to go'en with the ap-
pointments Then Yell took it into his head to
find out what lind of a job was being put up on
the Democratic party, and moved to postpone
great deal of Eibustering the motion prevailed.
The business of the evening was demoraliZed,
and the Senate adjourned before midnight.
President White was disguised and angry, and
gave vent to his feelings in very sharp language.
Whichever way the trade may be made, the
Democrats VIII be sold out on the appointments
and the Republicans will control the commits
sions Democrats in the corridor were not
choice in the selection of language in which to
denounce the jobbing and trading on political
questions
Now, Mr.. President, this refers to matters
which were discussed last night, and which are
well known 10 all the Senators. / will COM
mence by answering the last part of it first, that
. Democrats in the corridor were not choice in
the selection of langua ge in which to denounce
the jobbing and trading on political questions"
If that refers to the four Senators named, those
gentlemen VINO were in the corridors were very
careful not to say anything about il in the
presence of either of the fou- named. l admire
their prudence in that act The other part OF
the matter is simply false-that is. the statement
that the Democratic party ives thrown down by
Goucher. Meany. Roth and Mead. Now the fact
of the business is that the frs. Democratic name
on the rOll-call is that OF senator Boggs, who
voted with the Republicans IL is very common
in Legislature bodies for members of the same
party TO vote theN same way or take the signal
from the member of the party whose name
sands at the head of the Coil-call. As soon as
Senator Boggs voted that way 1t would have
been perfectly legitimate. under any circum-
stances, for us to have followed. When the
gentleman voted we followed his lead, but in
stead OF being pleased with the reinforcement
which he received he seemed TO be very much
excied and disguised. Il die not know what
that meant. l was surprised that the Senator
did hot rush over and clasp my hands
in his warm grasp and thank me for
coming to his support instead of that
he took tue opposite view. AS 10 any CON-
oiuation that Is untrue There was no CON-
binatlou. The truth of the matter is this
went 10 various mem oers en- the floor of the
senate yesterday, anc told them that il was my
desire 70 reach the general file third reading
and that unless the Senate would conclude TO
lake up thai file. should fight off the consider
alton of every other matter by every known
method in parliamentary law, for the reasons
that stated last night on the floor OF the Senate
TWO or three times. The vote against the special
pose. ! endeayored TO prevent other things
being taken up during the. day, but part of the
tine was N the chair ana could not do any
thing ! went 70 various Senators at the even
ing session-to Senator Britt, think. aud Sena-
eor Williams do not remember about Senator
Murphy, and asked them % help ne fight
against anything that stood in the way of
taxing up the third reading general file
CALLED the attention of Senator Williams to one
bill on that file. of which he was the author.
Last night 1 stated TO the Senate what the object
O. these bills was, and that while il would not
make any difference about the combinations, it
would give these bills one days advantage in the
Escembly If taken up then. That stated over
ard over again. l went 10 Senators Mead. Roth
and Meany, and told them this, 100, and nobody
cen blame US fer it, because Senator Boggs, who
s.aads at the head of the roll call will prob
ably vote to deter them. The Examiner does
net take him 10 task. Why Senator Boggs
war here.
Nesd-Probss,y they did not consider him a
Democrat
tsoucher-If tie Examiner does not consider
him Democrat ii is news 10 me. The other
nla1ter that refer to is this Il the Cal, on
page s, under the head of sensation in
Stores" appears the following:
sensational Developments mag be expected
Tomorrow, wher-Eenator Murphy will in effect
chs-ge the four Democratic Senator'S Goucher.
Meany Mead and Roth, with having traded
their votes TO confiSrn the Governors appoint
mentseior Waterman's signature 10 their pet
bills"
wan. to say this that there Is rot a Demo-
cratic Senator on kie floor that a-ould dare
make the charge. because il is false, and have
enough respect Cor every Dem Senator
and ever Republican Senator too 10 know
at least l nave faith enough 70 believe that no
one wothc willful.y charge falsehoed on this
floor. and that wotildtb falsehood do not
know whether Senator Murphy made tie charge
ON the authority of anybody or not, bat want
70 say thai no Democratic Senator ON ibis floor
would dare to make the charge for the reason
have stated and for other reasons which do
not propose 20 name LCo not believe that SEN
stor Murphy believed anything OF the kind, be-
cause sent over to his desk last evening when
this was pending and told him the object was
not to contira the appointments bur thai the
object was.fentirely different from thar.
