The Governors Mouth Plug
ged by a Resolution.
Another Resolution Coming De-
handing His Removal.
Bismarck, February 11.-When time
was called this morning in the legisls-
tive arena, Mr.. Aikens came to the front
with the following resolution:
Be it resolved, That the chief clerk of
the house be, and he is hereby instruct
ed not to receive or read or In any man.
ner recognize any petition or communi-
cation from any source whatever, except
it be introduced by some member OF this
body. unless it be from the executive or
other territorial office pertaining TO some
matter under consideration in the house,
or suggesting Legislation in the opinion
of the executive necessary. The said
chief clerk and the speaker are hereby
hObhOElAEn ~ pass upOAd uo uotcEuutho
the admissability Of any petition or
communication not introduced by q
member as aforesaid.
This resolution was passed, though
many Of the members did not "catch on
to the fact that IL wa intended to close
the avenues OF communication 10 the
governor, give the house perfect freedom
to assail him without giving him an OPP
portunity to place his reply ON record.
Mr.. Jones has prepared q resolution
which he proposes to introduce to-mor.
row demanding the removal OF the gov
ernos and charging him with supple
menting his salary by the appropriating
OF notary public fees, ETC., end on va
rious other counts.
The adoption Of the AikenH resolution
OF course will head of n reply he may
desire to make. The governor, however,
smiles under the raids made on him and
says he he has already placed In the
house records OF all he desires to euy,
and knows OF no good reason why there
should be any more friction.
AS to the rumor that he and Cald well
came near to hard blows the governor
says he was laughing during the entire
conversation and attributes the Aikeps'
resolution on his remark TO Caldwell
that he would attend TO his case later on.
I he impression is gaining among ths
members that there has been quite
enough OF this sparsing back aud forth
and having ''ooopered" she governor the
more conservative members will soon
step to the front and stop the wal of the
other end.
A resolution will doubtless be passed,
and properly can be, after the 4th OF
March asking the appointment OF some
Dakota republican to conduct the affairs
Of the territory until admission is accom-
plished.
