CHARLESTON, January 16.-Sena'or
PRICES motion to appoint committee to
inform the House that the Senate was
ready 70 20 into joint assembly to hear
and decide the guoernstorial contest was
the unfinished business in the Senate TO-
day. In the discussion which preceded
che final vote, the Republican members
SHOWED THEIR DETERMINATION
to delay business If possible. Morris and
Campbell lead in the Debate for the Re
publicans, and both were comrslled to
make admissions disgraceful to themselves
as Senators. Morris fatty declared that
the absence Of three Representatives WAS
the sole and only cause Of his objection to
gong into joint assembly, as the Law pro-
vided that the Senate should do. Camp
bell equaled theRtchie county statesman in
blunders with an effIontery which he only
could be capable of. He demanded that
the Democrats furnish pairs for the Re
publican sbsentees.
PRICE F0CIBLY REPLIED
to this demand. His clear explanation of
the utter improperly of pairs on a Judicial
question before that question had been
heard or any just conclusion had been
reached as to its merits, seemed fret to have
opened the eyes of Campbell and Morris
to the fact that they had duty to
perform besides their duty to Gen. Goff
and the Republican party. In the courae
of the debate heated and interesting
episode occurred. In mis- remarks by i'm
plication, at least, Campbell accused the
Democrats of responsibility for delay in
preparing the majority report. Arbuckle,
of Greenbrier quoted an extract from the
Wheeling Inteuigencer in which substauti-
ally the same charge was made. He then
asked Mr.. Maxwell if it were not time that
he bad besought indulgence of the major
ity of the committee. On account OF his
physical condition claiming that ne was not
able to work more than few hours each
day and then spent tbs rest of the
day preparing data for himself.
He asked Mr.. Morris where he was and
what he was doing while the Democrats
were laboriously at work? These ques-
tions stirred up the animals. Maxwell
holly disclaimed that he had even accused
the majority of the committee Of lack OF
and this gave the lie to dczsn
alleged interviews in Republican papers.
For himself, the Judge said he believed
that the Democrats bad made
every proper effort to advance their report
and bring the contest to close. Lying
newspapers were resplpsible for the hrst
and last of these charges. Morris made
similar statement, and in the course OF nis
remarks INDUCED in general denunclation
If ne newspapers, newspaper
REPoRTERs AND VARIOUS OTHER EVILS
which have done 80 much to give the
Richie county statesman delirium tremens
and nocturnal nightmare. A motion to
ay Senator Price's motion on the table
was lost.
The vote wss then taken on the original
motion. Flournoy stated that he had been
-e auested to pair by Senator Scott, snd had
to pair on political questions
He did not end could not consider any
question dependent on the merits OF the
1ubernatorial contest political question;
but prelimineries might be considered po'
Iitical questions and on the suggestion OF
Mr.. Morris he asked to be excused from
voting. Lowther
DROPPED 4 SMALL BOMB
in the ranks of his fellow Republicans.
When his name wes called he said ne was
sorry that some members on the Republi-
can side had shown disposition to excite !
party feeling, and he now served notics ca
them that if the charges which Judge
Fleming made were sustained By the fact,
General Goff would not receive his vote.
On the question bsiOre the Senate
he voted aye. The motion Was
carried, ayes IA nays 8. The Democrats
and Campbell, Lowther and Davis voted .
In the affirmative; seven Republicans and
Carr voted in the negative. The commit
tee was Immediately appointed to convey
the news to the House. A like committee
