 THE STORM.
 As question of privilege Mir. Gates of fered the following:
 Whereas, There appeared in The Arkan- sas Gazette of this date a communication from Wallace Carnahan, in which the fol- lowing statement is made: "The nega- tive vote on the Worlds Fair bill was the product of the natural afiliation of the anti Democratic, anarchistic elements; I" and,
 Whereas, Said statement is reflection upon a number of worthy members of this house; therefore, be it
 Resolved, That we denounce the said statement as untrue, uncalled for and un- warranted and islander upon men who were entitled to and did vote their honest convictions. Gates, ofDesha.
 Mir. Judkins moved the adoption of the resolution.
 Mir. Foster was first recognized by the speaker. He said among other things 4ithose of us who voted our convictions on the World Fair bill are more honest and more conscientious than the preacher who wrote the article in this morning Gazette. don,t mind being criticised when the critic knows his business, but do dislike to be criticised by an idiot who ought to be confined in the asylum.
 ssMR. SPEAKER--l do not know what he l.. f l. 1x~I A. denomination. can find more me of his persuasion in the penitentiary than of mine believe in a God. My denomina- tion believes in order and law and iD a God, but not such a God as he worships. I believe it would make man throw pu to hear him preach. am glai have never heard him."
 Mir. Foster repeated the assertion that a woman had shook her fist in his face, but he did not mean to say it was one of the ladies connected with the Worlds Fair. He did not know that she was.
 He contended that the defeat of the Worlds Fair bill was no Populite victory and returning to Mir. Carnahans charges, he said
 a'It is low and degrading for minister to forget his high calling and come down to such methods. Almighty God have mercy upon him.,
 He quoted the following from MT. Car nahan' article:
 Justly Populist victory" and said, ''That man shows he is insane. He says, I will now make another political predic- tion, that nine-t -tenths of the Democrats who voted against it, will vote against the Democratic party say this prediction will show up this man in his right colors, that, instead of being prophet from heaven, he came from hell. Two years from now will show that we leave the Democratic party and state of Arkansas will say that the prediction of the un- ecrupulous minister of the gospel will have no power to drive us from our position. 1 say that no honest man, whether he be politician, statesman or minister of the gospel, would make such an assertion. 1 intend to stand by the rights of the people of the state. l repeat that an honest an conscientious man would not be guilty of such.
 s'Mr. Speaker, 1 appeal to the men upon this floor to defend us. l appeal to those who voted for that bill to vindicate the Democrats who voted against it. They are as conscientious as one else.
 Mir. McAlister said that no man here was more in favor of law and order than he. No charge of being politician or partisan made against him was true. He would vote according to his understanding On the merit of measures, no matter which party it came from, and he was conscien- tious.
 Mir. Buchanan denounced MT. Carna- hans article. He said if Carnahan or any other man impugned his motives they as serted a willful, premeditated falsehood. He had as soon desert the wife of his bosom as to leave the Democratic party, and the insinuation that he would desert the party was false.
 Mir. Overman said he was a Democrat, soul and body, and he denounced the state ment in the article as false.
 Mir Sessions had cast no vote except from principle. The journal would show his votes in the line of right. There was no man under the sun who could accuse him of dishonesty, and that man who would accuse him of dishonest vote told that which was not so.
 When man says those who voted against that bill were dishonest, he said more than he could prove.
 Mir Brown, of Prairie, said: "When ! was elected expected to be criticised and 1 expected to be able to tska care of myself. If am called el anarchist, it does not make ...1 so If man predicts that I will desert the Democratic party, that is no evidence that 1 will do it. l never scratched but one Democratic name of my ticket, and that was Reuben CarlLee. feel that it is the province of any man out side of this legislature to criticise my actions, and am responsible only to the people that I represent on this floor"
 Mir. Kirby thought the resolution was sufficient without members resorting to abuse of parties on the outside.
 The resolution was adopted by risa roce vote.
 Mr. McGhee presented house petition No. TOT, from citizens of Lincoln county, asking an appropriation for the World Fair.
