Sergeant alarms.
BosToN, Jan. 4-The long-talked OF
and much discussed Republican caucus
for speaker OF the house or representa-
tives occurred at the state house this
forenoon.
The caucus was a most lively one and
at the close grew wild and turbulent.
Mr.. Galloupe OF Beverly was chosen
chairman aud. on motion. it was voted to
ballot at 1890 o'clock for a candidate for
speaker A motion also prevailed to
make the action Of the caucus binding to
the members.
The oallot resulted as follows: Whole
number cast. 1853; necessary for choice,
10; Vanc l.. Meyer, Boston, 1; 4. p. Ben
nett, Everett, 80, Hon. w. Il. Barrett,
l2S.
The result OF the vote was received with
cheers by the Barrett men and Mr.. Ben
nett sprang To his feet and moved that
the vote be made unanimous. This was
done amid fresh outbreak OF cheers.
The next move was TO enter upon dis
cussion of the candidates for sergeant-at-
arms There were four candidates and
while some scrapplng was anticipated
the result WAS far more exciting than
any had imagined.
Capt. j. q. Il. Adams was in the
struggle for blood. aud the first move
his forces made was motion 10 ballot for
a choice. This LMas bitterly opposed by
Mr.. Mahoney's supporters
Mr.. O'Brien OF Boston got up and ex-
citedly asked that Mr.. Adams be investi-
gated before he was seriously enter
tanned by the convention as candidate.
This as seconded but failed of passage.
Then a motion to ballot was made, and
the excitement grew intense. Dozens OF
the representatives sprang to their feet
aud tried to be heard, but amid the din
the speaker announced that the motion
to ballot had prevailed
There were shouts of I'VE will not rat
ify ballot" "We will contest the
choice" and for long time it was i'm
possible to proceed.
Finally the balloting commenced. Then
it was discovered that Mahoney had not
prepared himself with ballots, and the re-
suit was one-sided, his supporters failing
TO vote. The result announced is as fol-
lows: Chappelle, 1: Kimball. /; j. j. Ma
honey, /; j. q. B. Adams, 1870.
