Of Committees.

The subject of the general political issues
of the day and the com parative records OF the
two great parties, was the subject OF discus
sion at the opening of the morning session
of the senate yesterday. Senators Leavltt,
McHale and Donnelly poured considerable
hot shot into the Republican ranks, while
Senators John Day Smith and Tawney re-
turned the fire. The feature of the morning,
however, was Senator Sanborn's denuncia-
ton of the present policy Of his party. He
I declared that in eight years he had not voted
with the Republican party on national Is
sues-in other words that in the past con-
gressional and national elections for the time
he has voted with the Democrats, trusting
that defeat would turn the Republican party
into other paths.
The morning session was not called to0r-
per until nearly ten minutes past the hour
for assembling. Rev. William Wilkinson
acted as chaplain. Senator Dean arose at
this time to Question of privilege" as ne
said He declared that there was now the
sum of $500 OOU in the state treasury, ana
that the senator from Dakota in his attack
On the state treasury had slandered the state,
whose government he arose to defend.
This was the opportunity Senator Don,
nelly wanted, and he came back In splendld
shape saying:
II trust thatat the proper time committee
of investigation will be appointed to look
into the matter. There may be great
amount of money in the treasury, Dut tne
next question is, where does 1T belong! we
all know that if the state was not bankrupted
at the last session, it was solely owing to the
efforts of Senator Hompe and several other
members of the finance committee 10 stay
the course of reckless legislation inspired
and backed by the Republican party.
I tor n
utes furnished the senators. Messrs. SAN
born and Stevens wanted Kelley's complia-
tion and not Vests and the motion was re-
ferred to Gen. Sanborn.
Senator Wood moved that the vote Dy
which the creation of the Office of sergeant
alarms of the committee rooms was adopted
be reconsidered; he had voted with the ma
jority under O miscOncepton. This was sec
onded, and Senator Donnelly took the ifoor
in support of the motion. He urged the ne
eessity of having an officer in charge, relating
an incidentin the session of 1887, when an
important bill was abstracted from the COM
mittee room.
Senator Tawney thought that on this basis
sergeant alarms might be demanded for
each committee.
The lieutenant governor now announced
that the time for the special order fixed at
Thursdays session had arrived and the sen
ate would proceed to the
Election of Committees.
ana Senator John Day Smith was on his
feet, claiming recognition. He announced
that, as the representative of the Republican
senators, he would offer resolution. This
resolution was complete list of committee
appointments as made up by the Republi-
cans who paid no attention to the selections
made by the Democrats and Alliance. Nearly
all of these were carefully made up IN the
interests of the Republicans. On elections
for instance, only one Democrat was placed,
while there were two Republicans, and one
of these q gentleman whose seat was at first
contested.
Senator Smith, after having copies Of the
lists prepared by the Republicans passed
around to all the members. took the floor,
and, in a carefully prepared speech, jumped
Oh the far mers claiming that they were de-
manding the earth in the wav of committee
places. The Republican list follows, as
signed by Senator's Sanborn, Day, Tawney,
Davis. Smith, j. d. Peterson, j. W. and j. N.
