To the irreverently mingling strains OF
Farewell Ny Own True Love" and
Nearer Ny God TO Thee" the House, late
Tuesday afternoon, jostied Charles u.
Baker out Of the seat be has occupied since
The new year dawned. Mr.. Baker is a
Democrat, and his row will be hoed after
tomorrow by that distinguished Republi-
can farmer, Austin L. Taggart, whose title
was declared clearly by vote OF ll0 ayes
to G2 nays. Only one Republican, Mr..
Butterfeld, Of Erie, slipped the lariat in
the final roundup. The case came up
from Montgomery county and hinged upon
the right OF 46 Students at st. Charles
Borromeo Roman Catholic Seminary to
vote. the aforesaid 46 having with singular
unanimity plunked their Baker ballots fol
Baker. The House wrestled with tLe law
and the facts, the Constitution and pre-
cedents for two hours before 1t formally
reached a concIu sion. Incidentally the
shades OF Samuel j. TildeD, the ghost ol
Rutherford B. Hayes, the tenants OF the
Catholic church and migratory ministers Of
the Methodist church were tossed into
the discussion.
The majority, led by ID. Smith Talbot,
took the ground that the students referred
to had no permanent residence III the
seminary within the meaning OF the Con
stitution, and were therefore not entitled
TO vote in North Ardmore township. The
minority insisted that the students, upon
entering the seminary, renounced home,
family ties and residence, and to debar them
from voting where they did, wonld be 10
disfranchise. The discussion for the Demo
Gratis was opened by Mr. FlanneTy, oi
Luzerene, whose arguments were supple
mented by Messrs. Ritter. Of Lycomingi
skinner. Of Fulton and Fow, OF Philadel'
phia.
