CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. l6.-There
was more than ordinarily interesting
mix in the Senate to-day. The Republi'
cans had the advantage over the Demo
crots because the latter had gone back
op their proiessed desire for an organi'
,ption and broken promise to help
elect anybody the Republicans would
support, and the Democratic speakers
coaIl not take themselves out Of this fix,

and Fleming stand on equal footing
with regard to the Governors seat, was
not taken up by any Republican sena.

Mr, Arbuckle, [Dem. OF Greenhrier, a
fine looking man, came to the front for
the first time to-day, in u well delivered
speech supporting the Democratic posi-

MINEAR IS USHISD,
Nj. Minear, who was in the Republi-
can caucus before the meeting OF the
Senate and explained his course, voted

rLouRSoY's rLUsrER,
Mr.. Flournoy, in explaining his vote,
said "the Republican members say they
cannot organize this body" They are
not in the majority in this body, aud
this they now admit. Democrats In this
Senate, stand in the same position, each
party having twelve members. The
Democrats have, therefore, tho same
right Us the Republicans to organize the
Senate. The Democrats have further u
man eminently fitted for the position,
and the Democrats would ask the little
aid necessary to elect Mr.. Price.
Mr.. Morris was struck with unusual
amalement at the explanation OF the
Senator from Hampshire. The Demo.
Gratis had been charging the Republicans
with having power, but refusing to Or
ganize. Last night every caucus Repub.
lican voted for Mr.. Snyder, and the
Democrats would not allow his election
to stand.
NADENo SUCH PROPOSAL.
Mr.. 0xley said the Republicans had
proposed that II Democrats would agree
