The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1891-01-30

correspondence OF the Republican.
Down, Jan. 30.-And still the Five
sEonimissioner, or Force bill, and its
twin schemes, the Sussex hundred di-
tldanE bills, nestle comfortably ia a
l,iNeen hole In Clerk Dunn's desk. No
ssA5fal Inns yet como from the Senate
-TlrpnEh the friends of these pets ito
ennd them nlong.n No, the Repabii
cans have the Senate a tie-in fact they
have had It by four TO three since yes
terday at noon.
a. senator Williams Is still at home
sick, and Senator Hall Is at home,
called there by his rec eat loss in vessel
property, and hence the Senate stood
yesterday and to-day four Republicans
und three Democrats. But so we'll
satisfied are the Republicans that SEN
ators Hall aud Williams will stand as
rocks against these partisan schemes
81 the House, that they are not even
trying to obtain or secure any advan-
fage.
The chances this morning certainly
Heem TO be that the new Levy Court OF
New Castle county will organize next
Tuesday and the railroaders will I've
LETT. There will be few tears shed
here exon in the House should this be
the ease.
We had another characteristic debate
tR the House this morning. Mr.. Jack
sol introduced resolution condemn
ing the Force bill, now i'll the United
States Senate.
Mr.. Higgins objected to the resolu-
lion and IN q very calm and sensible
speech gave his reasons. He contend
cd that .bayonetsr and soldiers and
force were hut phrases employed by
partisan papers in regard Go the bill
For himself he could see nothing
wrong In the bill The United States
IN his estimation would not be doing
Its duty did il simply confer the right
TO vote on its citizens and then do
nothing to protect him in that right.
Messl's. Jackson, Hutson and Essen
brey spoke in favor of the resolution,
and it went through by Il party vote
u to Z, II was ordered to tho Senate
Tor concurrence, but it didn't go over
yesterday, and it is not likely to go
to-day. A Republican Senate would
not he likely TO concur In it.
No word from Senator Williams was
Z received yesterday, nor from Senator
Hall either.
The Senate yesterday had up the
House resolution requesting the Scna-
tors TO appoint a special committee to
act with the House Committee on Di-
yorces, but they decided TO lay it over
until Monday, in order to give Sena-
tors Hall and Williams chaifce To
vote on 1t, as both OF them are expect
ed to be here ON that day.
The Senate had funny experience
yesterday afternoon, an experience
that plainly showed there was a lacl;
OF parliamentary tactics ON the part OF
somebody. The Democratic Senators
somehow or other got the idea in theil
heads that the Republican Senators
had made up their minds to force an
adjournment in the afternoon until
Monday. The constitution of course
says that neither body shall adjourn
without the consent OF the other "uvcl
three days" Well, counting, Friday
Saturday and even Sunday there were
but three days and the idea was that
the Republican Senators would iunI
these three days.
scheme Speaker Donahuc and Senators
Ross and Houston remained out o.
the Senate. They pronenaded th,
corridors until . O'Clock, when thu
Republican Senators for tie first thu
caught on to the mares nest am
Senator Moore went out and ussuret
them That the Republicans didn't over
dGeaam OF any trickery,
Then they came in and the Senate
adjourned till this morning at II
o'clock. Now, to show the nonSensi
calness OF this action on the part oI
the Democratic Senators Ii Is ONLY
necessary to say that they could hay,
defeated any motion made by tho Ito
publielns by simply refusing to yott
on the motion. The record woult
have shown no quorum voting ant
the motion would have been lost, ONLY
this and nothing more.
You can set ii dawn that the Repub
