by the help OF the. Democrats III congress,

Republican party in the United States

the matter vigorously. AS the bill Is
now III the senate 1t Is better Instead OF
sending one Republican and TWO Deu,o-
erals, to send three Republicans.

aud p evented It's passage for the pasI
hive montns.',
Mr.. faulin wanted to know ifMr. HUI.
bel knew Senator Edmunds. lie had
prevented the passage vi this bill Tor tile
J past five months. Mr.. Hubbel had not
the honor Of knowing Senator Edmunds,
but he did know that he was one Of the
most distinguished men III the Unit,
Sta rs and therefore in the world, and he
also knew that the records of congress
show that Senator Edmunds InWed 10
take up the N, W Mexico land grant bill,
and has fought for il in season AMI Out
o. season, while Senators Reagan and
Morgan have fought against IL.
Mr.. Easley did not think it made very
much difference whether the commits.
sloners are chosen by tile assembly or by
the governor, but believed the assembly
better prepared to select the men than
the governor. Two years ago the ASSEM-.
by named the officers for solicitor gen.
eral, district attorneys, etc., and now
they want the governor to name all otti-
GERS.
