good speech,
Mr.. Richards asked il the speaker
imPugned the ability CT the people OF
West Virginia 10 issue state bank
money.
Mr.. Campbel-Upon what security
would the gentlemen issue the money?
Mr.. Richards-Upon tho honor and
the intelligence OF the people Of our
state.
Mr.. Joncs-And upon our rich min
eral deposits.
Mr.. Campbell-Then we three could
60 into the banking business tomorrow.
MIR. cAMpDELL's SPEECH.
Mr.. Campbell brought IN with his
speech several very appropriate anec-
dotes which we'll illustrated and sup
ported his postion-against wild cat
money. The evils OF the old system
arc apparent, and the time has arrived
to call the Democratic party to 4 sharp
and sudden halt. On this question he
was OF the opinion there were enough
Democrats in Congress who would
make it impossible ior state bank cir
culation TO be again made possible
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Campbel's
able address Mr.. Cowden remarked
that the time for adjournment had ar
rived, and he would offer two resolu-
tons to come up for consideration ut
the next meeting.
The first was in relation 10 municipal
affairs. as follows:
ReS0ired, That the committee on
municipal corporations be instructed to
report bill amending tho charter of
the city OF Wheeling so rs to except
from the boundaries OF said city the
part thereof known as the Seventh
ward, and to organize said part so ac-
copied into separate city.
AN INVESTIGATION.
The other resolution, Mr. Cowdon at.
tempted TO have decided at once but
failed in his object. The resolution ia
hore given:
WHEREAS One Van II. Bukey has
been received aa member OF this
house accredited to Ohio county, and
WHEREAS, 1t ia currently reported
that said Bukey ia not resident OF said
Ohio county but is resident OF Wood
county, and has never been elected q
member OF this house; therefore
Rss0'red, That committee OF three
be appointed by the speaker to invest-
gate and report whether or not said
Van II. Bukey is entitled to sit as n
member OF this house.
RtsOlrcd, That said committee OF three
shall have tho right to hold meetings
during tho recess OF the house, and
have power 10 send for persona and
papers.
MIR. Bukey will mako spirited do.
Tense at the next meeting. The state
bank income tax resolution will then be
voted on also.
Dr. West Found Guilty.
