The Minor Offices.
The report of Senators Donnelly.
Brown, Erickson, Dav and Sanborn, the
committee to determine upon the num-
Der OF employees needed, was read as
printed In yesterdays GLOBE. This
was amended by Senator Mcmillan, of
Hennepln. to include doorkeeper, as
Slstant dOOrkeeper and sergeant III
charge of committee rooms. This
amendment was indorsed by Senator
Donnelly and approved by Senator Day,
who wanted the whole thing to go back
to the committee. Senator Sanborn
thought the committee report ought to
go through as it was made, and said no
one proposed 10 be captious about the
matter.
Senator Donneily made a speech
showing the necessity for dOorkeepers.
In alluding to the Republican opposi-
the amendment, he stated that the Re
publlcanS would not make any captiOus
oppOsltions. 1.-Two years ago. he said,
''they were SO liberal that they had
about leo clerks around here"
Senator John Day Smith opposed the
appointment of a postmaster, keeper
of the cloak room and several other Off
GERS.
II am glad to see this remarkable
change of sentiment on the Republican
Side" said Mr.. Donnelly, .'but the
trouble is that it is like deathbed re-
pentance-it it comes a trifie late. Look
at the condition of this staIe. the $4,000
900 debt and the thousands of acres of
land that have been stolen since the Re-
publican party assumed csntrol."
Senator John Day Smith declared that
he spoke only for himself, and not as
the representative OF the Republican
party. He stood exactly where he did
two years ago. He did not believe that
the Alliance senators were going to fol-
low lead where it was wrong. Senator
Day made a point that the amendment
ought TO go to the committee. The chair
held that the report could be amended.
After some discussion the voting WAS
commenced on Senator McMillan's
amendment. There was no objection to
the election of q doorkeeper. The ayes
and noes were taken on the question of
creating the place of doorkeeper, which
resulted as follows: Ayes 29. noes 23:
and the vote proceeded on the proposition
to create the office of sergeant of COM
mittee rooms. Senator John Day Smith
declared the office was new one.
son the contrary" said Senator Leav-
lit, two years ago there were two men
incharge of these rooms"
Senator Tawney opposed the PROPOSE
ton, and was aided in his opposition by
Senator Day and others. When he sat
down he asked what was the necessity
for it. He was answered by Senator
March, of Hennepin:
1.-The same necessity exists for the
appointment of keeper of committee
roOm," said Senator March, las existed
in all other senates. There are about
twenty-four committees to be provided
for, and their meeting places must be
secured and taken care Of"
The roll call showed 20 ayes and 90
noes. and the motion was lost. The
compensation of all the officers pro-
vided for in Senator Mcmillan amend
ment was fixed at So per day. The Re
publieans were willing to accept the re-
port of the committee as far as certain
of the principal Offices were concerned,
but as they demanded a separate vote
in each case, the senate adjourned for
the day.
