face, and his voice arose high over the loud
rapping of the Speakers gavel.
Mr.. McEwan shouted that he must be
called to order and be made to observe the
rules the same as the humblest member on
the floor
Mr.. Flynn wanted to know how Mr.. Nc
Evan proposed to accomplish this. Mr..
Thompson. he said, had the floor.
PRETTY LITTLE ROW.
Mr.. Thompson then went on and declared
that he could not be connected with any
fraud.
McEwan interrupted again, and Thomp-
son hotly declared that he had plenty OF
physical endurance and would stay there un-
til ten o'clock ii necessary.
s.If the gentleman knew me better" cried
Mr.. McEwan, she would know that the case
don't go with me-"
"Poohp exclaimed Mr.. Thompson con-
temptuously, 81 could do you up in five mini
utes.n
TEDDY TAKES A HAND.
Mr. McEwan jumped up with point.
Under the rules no member could speak
more than five minutes at a time
Gag law: gag lawi" cried Carroll, who
was standing behind Mr.. McEwan.
1.-THE gentleman from Hudson is out Of
order" shouted the Speaker, land he will
take his seat"
Mr.. Carroll did not move and the Speaker
directed the Sergeant alarms to make
Carroll take his seat.
Sergeant-at-Arm Watson started for Mr..
Carroll, who slowly went to his seat and
stood beside it. He could not be forced to
sit down, he said
Messrs. Eisele and Somers said, as MEM
hear what Mr. Thompson had to say.
The Speaker then directed Mr. Thompson
to go on, but ordered him to confine himself
to the question.
Mr.. Thompson said that if such high
toned gentleman as John Griggs would con-
duct the case according to law he would
be content, but he objected to
having it conducted by law
yer who ought not to be allowed to
practice before the Supreme Court. He de-
clared that there was less fraud in his dis
trict than any other in the State.
A SWEEPING ASSERTION.
Every man on the foor he said, had pur-
chased votes What was the use, he asked,
of wearing the mask of sanctitty
any longers He had no objections to
the investigation if it would be carried over
until the fall, because he had business in
other parts of the country which he would
have to look after during the summer
months.
Mr.. McEwan indignantly denied that he
had bought votes, as Mr. Thompson had de-
clared.
Mr.. Kerr started in to deny that
he ever bought votes, when the Speak
er said that the discussion was all
out of order, and directed the clerk to call
the roll. The resolution to continue the
investigation was carried -thirty-t hree to
fourteen.
JUSTICE BILL REPEALED.
Early in the session the Republicans with
great hurrah repealed that so-called .Gut
tenberg Justice" bill requiring constable
to take their prisoners before the
nearest Justice. Governor Werts vetoed the
repealers. The House repassed the bill To-
day it came up in the Senate and Senator
Storrs, the Republican leader, had it laid
over indefinitely. That kills it.
IN THE SENATE.
The first class county Freeholder bill came
up on second reading, and MI. Bradley said
he hoped Mr. DAILY would attack
the bill, and if he had
been true to his constituents
he would not have attached the Senate Bill
No 5, the Search bill, an amendment that
made his people pay nine dollars for a search,
while Newark only paid s. Mr. Bradley
said he had unwittingly voted
for the amendment, but he would
now set himself right by introducing bill
that relieved Jersey City by making the
charge uniform This, he claimed, would
place Mr. DAILY on the defensive.
Mr.. Daily made reply in brief, and the bill
was ordered to third reading
