Mr.. LAMOURE: This question comes
up here as a matter of fact as to what
actually occurred during the session of
this senate on last Saturday, which by this
one motion you propose to expunge from
the journal. The question Of fact comes
up as to what we did in reference to the
iOus fact. known probably to 200 men, that
this senate voted on that question, and a
majority of this senate Voted in favor of it.
After having voted so, the ordinary rules
of procedure in cases of that kind were
adopted. A motion was made to recon

this senate met yesterday, and we went
through the ordinary course of business

usual question?
The CHAIR: No. sir; he did not. He
had not the opportunity.
Mr.. LAMOURE: He could have taken
it. A communication reached this senate
from the governor, if recollect correctly.
A ffnr fhn 1NpNy ~, ~ n tSrp, xyor ~o~J %1,~
gentleman from Ramsey moved a recess.
Now this combination proposes to wipe out
all that. Is that so? l just appeal to the
90, combination on that. l don't know wheth-
