ALBANY. Jan. 22-Monday evening in the
Legislature Is what debating society night Ia
in the rural Districts 1t is the only evening
session Of the week. and there is sure to bea
large audience. Tonight the audience wns
unusually large. as It was understood that
Mr.. Ainsworth was to call up his resolution
against tho Wilson Tariff bill aud that all tho
orators on both sides OF tho Chamber wero to
let loose their eloauence.
The spectators wcro not disappointed No
real business was dono in the Assembly, and
the flood Of political and tariff otatory over
whelmed everything, even the regular bills on
the calendar In order that the supply OF
these resolutions may not aivo out before
the evening sessions Of the next month
are over. Mr.. Ainsworth introduced few
more resolutions. one Of them was In regard
to the Board OF Mediation and Arbitration,
and another was dcnounclng Senator Hill for
his course in Congress. Resolutions about
Hawaii. tho tariff and few other like matters
were already neniing.
The object Of these many resolutions, he
sides giving tho now members opportunity 10
practise oratory on their fellows was TO rouse
the partisan spirit OF the Assembly and to bind
together the Republican majority. which is
showing signs OF dlsintegration.
These resolutions about Hawaii. the tariff
and Senator Hill refer solely to Federal mat
tors and have nothing TO do with anything
about which the Legislature has any real
power. Tho Republicans are united in oppo-
sition to tho Wilson bill and the Presidents
Hawaiian policy. but they are unable to agree
on any state matters Of importance. so they
sound their party cries on Federal questions
on which they are In harmony.
Mr.. Ainsworth and the Speaker believe that
a certain amount Of this stuff will make the
rural Republicans forget anything about Plat.
tho master, and unite in the partisan leGisln-
ton which Mr.. rlatt will push as soon as he
thinks 1t can PASS.
This debate lasted until n late hour. tx
Speaker Suzer before 1t began. introduced a
resolution calling on Congress to repeal the
Federal Election law. which readc:
