TIoN.
Senator VOORHEES, said that the Four
teenth Senatorial District covered large
area of the State. The will of his con-
stituents, he said, should be the will of
the representative. He had told his peo-
pie that he would vote for no man for
Senator who would not vote against the
Reilly funding, or any like funding bill,
and who was not in favor of the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. lie
had asceriained beyond a question of
doubt that George c. Perkins would so
vote and work, and he desired to second
his nomination.

SEYMOUR OBJECTS.
NO candidate having majority, SEN
ator Ford moved that a second ballot be
taken.
The motion was opposed by Senator
seymour, VINO urged that the hour was
tute that recess be taken. The motion
not receiving second, Ford's motion
was carried, and another ballot ordered.
THE SECOND BALLOT.
The result of the second ballot showed
no changes from the first, except that
Senator Seawell voted for Bart Burke
instead OF John Boggs. and that Senator
Gestord voted for j. II. Seawell instead
OF Dennis Spencer.
Senator VOORHEES, moved another bal
lot, and the motion was carried, the
Ferklns men evidently understanding
Where they were at, and that wavering
members could not longer stand the high
tension, but would bolt to their camp.
News had arrived from the Assembly
IN the meantime that Perkins had re-
celVed a majority Of the votes from that
body, and his followers in the Senate
were Jubilant while the De Young fac
ton tried TO look unconcerned.
MCGOWAN FOR PERKINS.
Senator MCGOWAN received a round Of
applause when he withdrew the name OF
Charles \. FELTON, and declared his inten-
ton of voting for George c.. Perkins,
Perkins was not, he said, his ideal of a
Republican, but as the majority of the
people, through their representatives, de-
manded that Perkins should be Senator.
he bowed to that verdict and should cast
his vote accordingly.
SENATOR MARTIN BOLTS.
The roll was called for third ballot
and went Oh smoothly until the name OF
Senator Martin was called.
The grizzled veteran from Placer
County arose and desired to explain the
vote he should cast. He wished to state
that he was Democrat, and had been
one long before some of the Senators
present were born, but Perkins and he
mad stood together in this building as
member OF the Assembly years ago, and
he knew the former 10 be man OF in
tegrlty and honor. He had grown to
manhood in the mining districts. and his
sympathy had always been with that
section. The Senator heard the appeal of
his mountain constituents demanding the
election OF George &. Perkins, and, in
everything, he bowed to the will OF those
people and should cast his next vote for
Perkins.
Then vast roar went up that filled he
chamber. and broad smiles overspread
the features Of Senator Ford and his lien
tenants, for the battle was over, the vic
tory won. and George G. Perkins was
elected to succeed himself to the United
States Senate.
