 Turpie took the floor with carefully prepared report On the resolution for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. He said that when we recall the harsh crimins tlcns, Gross charges of pecuniary cor ruption and of fraudulent combinations | and intrigue, disgraceful and dishonor- able to the whole body with which a prolonged seoatorisl contest IS accom- panied, whether in party conference or in open assembly, the removal of such evil should be deemed of prime political | necessity. If has been said the Grand Central railway has chosen senator ID
 a certain state, the Central bank has | chosen another elsew here and the Gen. l tral association of mining and manufac- lures has defeated fully a third. Nothing | is intended to be assumed here concern | ing the truth or falsity of these ssser- tions or accusations. But these mal- | feasant charges have an existence. The
 way of their riddence is plain. If the choice of constituent members of this body was left to the mass of voters ID
 the state the charges would be infinite
 ly lessened. They would altogether dis | appear if no reasonable grounds could be given for their support.
 At 1:55 the senate adjourned until
 Monday. The democrats went into caucus.
