Again there were loud cheers from the
members and the audience.
NORRIS EXTINGUIsHED.
Morris could not have been more COM
pletely subdusd by stroke of lightning.
He was cOwed by the strength and evi-
dent sincerity of the denunciation which
it had provoked, and during the rest of a

that the Democrats were resorting to revolu.
ti0nary tactics The remarks that had
been made upon that floor showed who
were the rsyOlutiOnists, bent on any means
however unlawful, to secure their ends
The Republican members of the Lsgisla-
ture had started out with tine an
nouneement that the vote on Gov
ernor must be declared. They
themselves had surrendered this
ground. Now they presented demand
that the result be published. For what
other reason under the sun was it than to
given Gen. Goff some sort of shadow
claim on the seat and then they would at
tempt to swear him in in spite of the law
They had depicted evils which would arise.
They had made threats of bloOdshed if
they did not have their way, and if this
was not revolution, what was it?
Mr.. FlOurnoy continued making very
strong argument for the Democratic posi-
tiOn. Col. Moore, ofHarrison, and Hanep,
of Marshall, attempted to reply, but the
assembly was becoming disorderly and al
most refused to hear them. A motion to.
adjourn was made, but it was destined
that there should be no adjournment with
out another exciting scene.
GoFF COACHING HIS SPEAKERS.
Goff, with his attorneys, had been on
the flcor OF the House in the midst of the
Republican members during the whole
session. From time TO time they had
made suggestions to the Republican speak
ers.
Delegate Garden, of Ohio, was sitting
Opposite. Golf leaned over to give n point
10 one of his followers on the adjournment
question, and then Mr.. Gardens bottled
up wrath broke loose.
Words in cold type cannot convey the
force he put into his remarks when he

was the Republican candidate sitting on
the floor of this House, putting words in
the months of members, and practically
taking part in the debate. 1t wes an out
rageous proceeding condemned by every
rule of decency. Judge Fleming has been
conspicuous here ouly by his absence.
Meyer, of Kanawhs, interpolation.
Goff has right here. He has a right to
sit among members"
"He has no right. II is an insult to the
House, Garden replied.
A war of words was kept up until the
whole assembly began to take part Ia 1t.
Goff started and lead the cheering on the
Republican side. the Speaker vaiply
raped for order. A motion TO dissolve
was put, but not One-half of the members
voted.
President Carr then took the bull by the
horns, and with one ponderous rap of the
gavel he secured degree of order.
"The joint assembly il adjourned until
tomorrow at IL a. m, he said. 1.-The
Senate will return to it's chamber, the
House of Delegates will remain sitting."
This settled the matter, and after few
minutes both houses assembled in their
respective halls and adjourned. The sd-
vantage of the contest clesrly remains
with the Democrats. They carried their
resolution which practically settles the
pcstponement of the declaration of the re-
suit as lar as Governor was concerned, and
in addition showed .heir opponents more
clearly than ever before in the position
which they have always assu@ed as OBJ
