special 10 Inc Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The capito,
was deserted to-day, and save the foot
falls of few pages and messengers, no
sound was heard in the building. Only
six members visited the house. The
members are eager to get into the fal,
campaign, and the city is almost bereft
of congressman. Most of them have en-
gasements to speak every week between
now and November, some more fire.
Quently.
The Democratic campaign committee
is sending out large quantities OF docu-
meuts, but are short of money, and the
local committees are expected TO take
charge OF affairs at home.
SENATOR VOORHEES,
says this session was the worst of the
many sessions he has been con-
nected with. 'Its legislation, -
he continued, twill result most
mi schievously to the laboring inter-
ests of the country. What shall we
do about the election bill? Sufficient to
the day is the evil thereof. Wen see
whether the Republicans will pass the
election bill or not -
agreed with Senator Voorhees,. "This
session - said he, "has been run by
revolutionary methods and as such will
be notorious in history. The majority
seems to have regarded it as necessary
to impose the most burdeusome taxes
ever attempted upon the American
people. Partisan and class legislation has
been the sessions distinguished charac-
teristic. The taking up of the force bill
in December would be a logical sequel
to the legislation OF the session. That
bill is nothing but an extraordinary
measure to perpetuate the power of the
Republican party. 1t contemplates the
Introduction of an absolutsm which has
no place in American traditions or par
liamentary history.
KILGoRE AND REED.
Many reasons have been given for Kill
gore's action yesterday in making the
point. of no quorum, it is said that
his motive lay in the fact that Reed had
refused 10 recognize him to pass bill.
Reed sent for Kilgore yesterday and the
following colloquy eusued.
j. Said Reed:
"Buck. why do you insist on your
point? Please withdraw it?''
81 will do it, said Kilgore, elf you
will recognize me later to call up my
bill. -
"Oh, come, Buck" SAID the speaker
persuasvely, ''you know l can t prom
Use that
''Then,'' said Klgore with a laugh,
'this house shan't do any business to-
day.
"Now look yer Buck" expostu-
lated the whilom car, anxious to see the
wheels of legislation revolve, "you
know 1 IN your friend, and that 1 only
refused to recognize you for pure devil
ment. Let up and the first opportunity
l get I'll recognize you. Let's shake
hands on this aud be friends -
:'An right said Buck, I'm go
you - and the two big men shook hands
heartily Kllgore nearly pulling Reed out
of his chair, while the other members
wondered what the twain were talking
and laughing about. 1t soon
TRANSFERRED, for Kilgore went back
to his seat, addressed the speaker and
announced that h. withdrew his point OF
no quorum. The wheels began TO go
around again, but kiIgore didn't get n
chance to call his bill up. 1t is safe TO
gamble that he will have chance to
call it up early next session, however.
Meantime the Texan and the Maineite are
friends.
