Mopm 18th County Bin.
TRENTON. N. J., MAY 10.-The bill to divide
Monmo uth county. which created row am ong
the Democrats when It passed the House two
days ago, has also made trouble in the Re-
publican camp. 1t led to an angry controversy
to-day between Speaker Holt and ASSEM- bly,
man Walters. who introduced the bill Wal
tiers accused the Speaker OF holding up" the
bill so thatit could not get to the Senate and be
passed. This the Speaker denied aud. in q
colloauy after this mornings session. Walters
threatened that IL any more dirty work
was practised. he would show up some
OF the inside workings concerning partisan
legislation. He said Holt promised last night
to sign tho hill aud send II at once to the Sen
ate. but had not done so. Walters added that
Holt. Lewis, Storrs. and number OF other
members from the larger counties voted for
the bill. but since had been threatened by the
bosses. and now sought to escape the conse-
quences though their votes were given In re-
turn for support from Walters and his friends
for other measures.
At that time It was not believed that the SEN
ate would pass tho bill. as Senator Bradley

bill. and some OF the Assem- lymen conse-
auently want to prevent 1t going to the Senate

had been made to recommit and to postpone
action.
Assemblyman Thompson's marriage license
law was defeated in the senate, but the vote
recommitted for amendment, SO that only nom
residents must procure license to be mar
rrd. Mr.. Thompson says such an amendment
will destroy the usei ulness OF the bill.
