DovER, Feb. 19.--This has been day
legislatiyely notable for two ressous-the
amount Of business transacted and the
breaking OF the treasurer and auditor
deadlock. This afternoon Representative
Clark fred OF the caucus resolutions
nominating Messrs. Herbert aud Boyce
(printed in yesterdays EVERY EvEsrso),
and they went through the House, as will
be seen below by vote Of Is to 6; the
seven Dsmoo members voting with
six Republicans In the affirmative; siI
Republicans, (Downhsm. Lingo, Maui
Morgan, Ssckett and Wallsoe), in th,
negative; RIA. Davis declining to vote ant
Short being out Of the room. W. e
Davis calling upon his fellow member
Robert A, to record himself
the latter replied: "If you make vote
shall vote yea; an answer which brough
out some Democratic applause. But, al
the same Robert A. did not record hi
vote. The nominations were at ono
transmitted to the Senate, where, in ssr
castle reference to the rather oompre
hensive preamble introducing them, Mr.
Dormau thus delivered HIMSELF: mi
Speaker, inasnuoh as our Republican
friends have omitted the constitution o
the United States and the ten command
ments in their preamble move we con
cur in the joiut resolution" The con
ourrenoe came in right there and wa
unanimous. Wherefore Messrs. Hsrbel
and BOyoe are emphatieally and offioiall
all right.

because bis fellow members were und
the impression that 1t related solely
the school book shortage OF William
and Carpenters administration. The
surprise when they got hold OF the count
trespurer portion vented itself in sue
EXPLANATIONS as "would never have vote

had heard Of no charges against or
county treasurer, and had only put

little iuvestig eating himself. Later he @
plained that the reference to "ooun
treasurers" was blunder that the OLE
