THE SPECIAL RIDER.
The bills that had been acted upon during
the day had brought out very little discus
sion, and it was thought that the members
were saving tn cir OratOrical steam for the
special order, which was senate bill 178--the
elections bill; but the measure was not dis
cusSed at great length.
Mr.. BENNETT did not believe the bill
would be as expensive as its ppO nents
claimed. He thought $4,000 would cover
the expense for the whole state.
Mr.. FAY thought it should apply only to
cities or towns of over 500 people.
Mr.. BURKE favored it. In his county a
few years ago 400 votes were cast in two
precincts. There has been Immigration
since, and now the county casts 900. He
thought the bill would prevent illegal vot-
ing to a great extent.
Mr.. BROWN hoped the bill would not
pass. 1t would bankrupt most of the cOun-
ties of the state. He knew the people of
Grand Forks county did not want it.
Mr.. OLIVER said he would vote for the
pill, but ne believed it would be a heavy
burden on the state.
Mr.. KEARNEY thought his people
wanted the system proposed, but after
they had found out how expensive it would
be. they would cuss kearney for voting for
it. SO he would vote against it.
Mr.. MCCULLOCH said the people want
ed it. Members would be afraid to 90
pass the bill.
MIR. COPE said he would vote against it,
and he wasn't afraid to go home.
MIR. GILL said he would represent four
tifths OF his constituents when he voted
mo-
Mr.. GRADER said that he would a lso
oppose the bill, and wouldn't be afraid to
meet his constituents afterward.
The bill passed.
36. Subdividing the Fifth judicial dis
trict and fixing the terms therein.
MIR. FOSS presented a resolution to pay
