The Right OF Petition Denied by the Speak.
er Of the Leslsiature-A Big Fight In tho
House.
TRENroN, N. j., March Mr.. Hutch.
inson, in the assembly to-day, presented
the memorial or the committee OF fifty
which appointed at the mass meeting
of the citizens league in Trenton last
Wednesday. In connection with the
memorial he offered a resolution provid-
ing tor public hearing at 1880 p. m.
upon the memorial which protested
solemnly against the race track bills,
and asked for their repeal.
A half dozen members sprang to
their feet 10 mako motions, but Speaker
Flynn, (the Gloucester race track
starter,) shut them all off by declaring
the resolution out OF order. The CALLER.
les and floors were crowded and the
ruling created a great sensation.
"Upon what grounds is this resolu-
ton declared out OF order" asked Mr..
Hutchinson.
Upon the ground that It is unprece-
dented." paid tho speaker.
Mr.. Hutchinson quoted preCedentg es-
tablished by Congress and then launch
ed into strong and eloquent speech,
in which he pointed out with emphasis
the outrageous character OF the ruling
and the danger OF it. Such q ruling, he
said, in years gone by would have
created revolution.
The speaker persisted in his ruling
that the resolution was out OF order and
Mr.. Hutchinson appealed from the de-
cision. Tho yeas and nays were called
on the question, "shall the speakers
decision stand as the decision of the
house2" There were 33 votes TO sus-
tain the appeal and 90 against, but the
speaker refused to allow the result to
be announced because Mr.. Swartwout
was absent.
Tho house was under call and the
speaker ruled that the roll call could
not be suspended until the members
who had not been excused had voted.
Several members then changed their
votes, and finally when Swartwout
made his appearance the vote stood 80
to 30. The speaker declared the mo-
ton appealing from his decision lost, II
requiring majority vote to carry such
motion.
Tho speaker then announced that the
chairman OF the committee on munich

hearing on the bill at Q o'clock this

WAsuINGToE. D. O., March 7,-There
are some curious stories being printed
about the late inaugural parade in this
city. For instance, comment 10 being
excited by the report Of Wheeling
paper in which the two clubs and their
band were stated to have aroused much
enthusiasm, &C., along theline Of march
by reason OF their appearances, Now,
it is not the thing to rub in q piece OF
hard luck, so-called, but US matter OF
fact, there were just five citizens OF
Wheeling in that parade, and those
were members OF tho Young Men's Dem
ocratic Club. All the rest OF both or
ganizations had become weary on &C.
count OF the long, cold wait, and had
dropped out OF line before time came
for them to move. Captain Birch and
four other members ol the Young Mems
club fell in line again some distance
down the avenue and passed the re-
view stand. This was the extent OF
Wheeling's representation.
The clubs were not to blame for their
action. The parade was fearfully mis-.
managed. Tho waits were long and
tedious, and after while became sim
ply unhearable on account OF the bitter
cold. II was three o'clock before the
first division began to pass tho Presi-
dent, and seven before the end OF the
line appeared. By that time it was
dark. All day long the wind and cold
had increased, 1t is small wonder that
many clubs got disgusted and quit.
The report that Col. Alex Campbell
has ceased to be an applicant for the
consul. l.genernl'a place at Melbourne is
entirely unfounded. The colonel is
strictly In it yet, His candidacy was
never in as good condition as at present.
1t Ia said that Mr.. O'Kane is 10 have
a formidable rival for the postotlice,
Notwithstanding he has the endorse
ment OF both senators and his congress-
man. Mr.. r. A. McCabo is said to be
about to present petition which will
be wonder, aud no will 60 direct to
the President with it. This petition
will contain the names Of all the manu-.
facturers, all the wholesalers, all the
insurance firms except two, and all the
banks except two in the city, with 4
host of other less prominent firms and
private individuals.
Thcre is no particular change in the
state Of tho contest for marshal. Several
noteworthy desertions nre reported
from Garden, and these acccssions are
claimed by the Crawford people. Rep.
resentative Capehart, it is Whispered, is
quietly getting ready to down Vinson il
that gentleman becomes too prominent
The reason for this, OF course, is that
Senator Camden is for Yinson.
Mr.. f. P. Jepson, OF Wheeling, has
arrived on the scene, and will now be-
gin his fight for tho treasurership in
earnest. He has already taken look
at the furniture aud carpet designs OF
his future office, and has decided that
he will have them changed so that they
will more nearly match his complexion.
Ex-Congressman B. F. Martin and
wife, of Grafton, are visiting Commits
sioncr and Mrs. Mason.

WASHINGTON, D. e., March THE
steady tramp, tramp OF the Office seek
ers sounded through the white house
all day. There was practically no cessa.
ton in tho limo OF people who assembled
the stairway leading to the Presidents
room, and nearly all who came saw Mr..
Cleveland. They found him in jovial
humor and he cracked jokes with old
acquaintances whom he had not seen
since his departure from Washington
four years ago. Whi!e largo number
OF those who saw tho President were

gressmen with long lists OF constituents
who arc willing to work for Uncle Sam
were discreet enough not to ask for
favors, but to simply pay their respects.
Tho members OF tho United States

Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan,
came early in accordance with custom.
Congressman Meredith, Of Virginia,
came with q delegation OF friends;
Congressman Henderson, OF North

Among them were Senators Mitchell, OF

CHARLESTON, W. VA, March 1.-The
Democratic members Of the legislature
held a caucus tonight. 1t was held on
account OF report that ex-secretary
Elkins had induced ex-President Har.
rison to request President Cleveland, as
matter OF presidential courtesy, not
to appoint General O. G. Watts to the
United States district attorneyship on
account OF the memorable telegram sent
by him shortly after tho election,
ironically congratuiating the President
ON his defeat. Tho Democrats, while
not endorsing General Watts openly,
felt it their duty to protest against Rc-
publican dictation as to how the federal
patronage for West Virginia should or
should not be distributed by tho new
administration, and accordingly resolu-
tions were drawn up to be forwarded to
the President, protesting against out
side interiorenCe and stating that Cen
eral Watts had been removed from
office by President Harrison solely on
account OF his vigorous prosecution OF
vlolators Of election laws at the election
OF 1883.
They didn't want to endorse General
Watts, but they wanted to "set him
right" with the President and ask that
he be given an even show with other
aspirants in the race for the position.
