FIGHTING FOR THE SPoILS4
The Republicans are rapidly throwing aside
the cloak of sanctity in which they have en-
veloped themselves since election, ana pegln
to show the cloven hoof. Much has been
heard from them of late about the
era of economy which was to set
in when the Legislature opened. The great
number of legislation employees, which the
Democrats appointed last year, they, de-
nouneed, and they promised to reform
things. With great flourish of trumpets,
they announced that they would abolish the
Office of Assistant Secretary TO the Speaker
and reduce the number of door keepers.
Yesterday they passed resolution giving
the Speaker an assistant private secretary,
and this morning Mr. McEwsn want
room appointed Mr. Flynn scored
the Republicans for their hypocrisy, which
made them vince Beekman and Thompson
helped him WELD the whip. The Repubh-
cans reterted by twitting the Democrats
with the large number they appointed last
never made right, and the matter got SO
warm for the Republicans that they rush ed
through motion to lay the resofltl on
On the table
FLYNN EXCITED.
Mr. Flynn moved that the vote by which
1he resolution was tabled be reconsidered,
and On that question he called for the
ayes and nays. The Speaker asked Mr.
Flynn how he had voted and he
said in the affirmative. As the motion
to table had been carried by only
q faint murmur in the affirmative and abso-
lutte silence for the negative everybody
laughed The Speaker then directed the
clerk to go on with the business when
Flynn sprung to his feet and fercely de-
nanded if the Speaker doubted his word.
Mr. Holt Immediately apologized, and put
the motion to reconsider, which was, OF
course, lost.
