THE GLENN COUNTY FIGHT.
Moffitt offered a resolution that the roll of the
Senate be called, and that each Senator be al
lowed 10 call up one bill as his name is called
ana that the rules be suspended for the purpose
OF considering the resolution.
No sooner had the motion been made than
TO his feet and demanded call of the Senate,
as senator Boggs was not in his seat.
The call was ordered and Boggs was soon
brought in and excused for his absence.
Caminettfs anxiety that Boggs should be
pI,~ei.t called ont remark from Meany that
'.the senator from Amador must be Senator
SOgg's guardian "
boges was on his feet in O moment and re-
torted, 81 would as leave have it said that SenG-
tor Caminetti Was my guardian as to be called
Gopcher's man."
Then the fun commenced, and for three
hours business was blocked entirely by flibus-
tering tactics to prevent vote on the resolu-
ton. as Camineltl and toggs saw in ii a plan TO
get the Glenn county bill up out of order.
Preston started in by reading an agreement,
sisned by twenty-iour Senators, in which the
signers had agreed TO stick to the file and said
he proposed TO live up to il.
Mead wanted TO know how many times they
had all violated that agreement already.
Greedy said he was free to say that he had
fs leu down.
Goucher denounced the signing of the agree
me nj in the first place revolutionary and I'M
waTrantable proceeding. He had never been
ask d TO sign any such agreement and if
secret rule tor governi. G toe Senate had been
adopted by Triton OF the Senate in that way
il was an injustice to th. sc who had not been
taken into the little arrangement. He said that
two years ago BogEs and CamiDetd both bene-
fitted by the system of taking up bills which
they now denounced wrong.
Boggs ! deny that it is so. At is not true, and
he knows it.
Goueher-The Senator tells " hat is false when
ne says tnat know IL.
Boggs--T Senator ought % know il.
6oncner-Ihe record is in print and before
the people of this State and If the gentleman
will examine the journals of the last Senate he
vii find that what have stated is true.
Goucher then went on TO say that he had pro-
posed TO Boggs TO have the Glenn county bin
taken up Monday for second reading and
then make it the special order for Tuesday, but
that the Colusa Senator had declined TO set any
time and only asked that il be put of.
Caminetti moved 10 adjourn.
Inc motion was lost by vote of ayes 10 80
noes
BY this time the news had spread ever the
Capitol that the Glenn county fight was in pro-
gress and The galleries and LOBBY were soon
packed with people The crowd even pressed
upon the floor OF the Senate and every hit hat
was made by the warning Senators was highly
enjoyed.
Boggs said he was not responsible for the de-
lay in business. he had amendments which he
desired TO make 10 the bill and was not prepared
with them now.
Camine,ti moved to take recess until s
O'Clock P. N.
rprague-I hope the Senator from Amsdor
will finally become ashamed Of the difference
between his argument and hi conduct and
cease his pettifngging
Caininetti The oniy excuse there is fir the
