PIERRE, s. D., Jan. 2!.-The house met
at 10 O'clock this morning and first dis
posed of the Lawrence county contest
cases, and upon motion of Bowel they
were made the special order for 8 o'clock

lowing one attorney for each side three
quar.ers of an hour each 10 present the
case before the house, the attorney for tho
contestants to follow the contestees' at
torney, was brought up on motion of
Mr.. Lester. After considerable discus
8 on, in which the republicans opposed tbs
motion. 1T was referred. It is difficult
to determine what the result of the vote
on THESE contests VIII be. Both sides claim
that they have sufficis MT votes to carry

twelve additional majority. This would
make the republican chance still moro
doubtful. The republicans are very conf.
don't that they will be successful in retain
ing their members, and the vote in the
house would seem to give ground for 1t.
