NOTES.
1t was not much of a battle.
Mr.. Kinter, in speaking to his motion to
substitute certain names for those COM
prising the committee on appropriations as
offered by Mr.. Arnold, wa cutely checked
when he read through .4Arnold's list and
commented on their being all from coun-
Enger. Some then inquired: "Whats
the matter with Enger and the soldiers
home? ~
The reply of Senator Worst to the
accusation that this caucus arrangement
was an attempt to deprive the presiding
officer of his legitimate prerOgative, in the
appointment of committees, conveyed a
very timely and well-put assurance to the
president.that the action of the republicans
! In the matter were prompted by no design
attempt in the same line two and three
years ago, when both president and
majority of the senate were Of the same
political faith.
Mr.. laMoure's smile was bland and
cnlld!lke when, in reading his list of
names, Mr.. kinter said: "Judson La
Moure, well, I've no objection to him."
Senator Fuller was counted with the op.
position on all the votes concerned with
the committees.
This initial battle was altogether a
blOodless one, with no demonstrations of
hard feelings. The action OF the minority
seemed to take the shape merely of a for
NAL protest, hopeless but necessary to
their dignity.
The senate has quickly begun the work
of complying with the suggestions of the
governor, relative to cutting down expen-
SEES. The legislation proposed by Mr..
Cashel Is decidedly in the line of retrench-
ment.
Senators concluded to keep al work an
other day, instead Of adjourning until
Monday. On the vote on the matter of
adjournment there appeared to be som
misunderstanding as to what was in.

utilizing the time so as to get along with
the WORK, and catch up with the house.
