Arizona republican., 1891-03-18


 The gentleman from Maricopa made quite forcible speech upon the subject drawing much applause from outside the rail.
 Mir. Baldwin then arose, with mockery in his air. and proceeded to correct Mir President and the gentleman from Maricopa on several counts of mispro nunciation and rhetorical faults. He inferred that because MT. President didn't know how to pronounce the word Pima" verify his knowledge upon legal and legislative subjects was open to sus. picion.
 Mir. Hughes retorted with blood in his eye and wrath in his voice that he stated but facts, and showed that to question his veracity was matter of no little danger. But the chip remained undis- turbed upon Mir. Presidents shoulder and Mir. Baldwin turned his torrent of sarcasm into somewhat different channel.
 The question upon the substitute was then put and lost by the following vote Ayes - Baldwin, Herndon, Simpson, Thurmond-4. Noes - Brady, Dennis, Doran, Frank, Peter, Viekers, Zulick, Hughes-S.

 Mir. Doran, on voting, embraced the occasion to state that he had much relished the highly seasoned discussion had upon the bill. He had noted with satisfaction the eloquent pleading of certain gentlemen for an equitable di- vision upon the basis of population. He remembered how these same mem- bers had only short time before com bined to pass an arbitrary and partisan bill, dispite his protests and arguments for a fair division, according to the census figures.

 MT. Herndon moved that the first section of the bill, its vital portion, be stricken out.

 Mir. Herndon explained that he de- sired to substitute section granting the suffrage to females in town elections only.
 NIT. Herndon's motion was lost, 8 to 4.
