Arizona republican., 1895-03-21

III GHC eOuHGy vi IdVdpdt Ill tuC C6IIl-
tory of Arizona, was called for at the
session of this house on March 10, and,
WHEREAS, said bill was taken up by
the chief clerk and read by title, be it
Resolved, That the said reading of
council bill No. "a by title be aud is
hereby considered that council bill No.
ga did have its first reading on March
10, 1884"
Mr.. Moore moved that the resolution
be indefinitely postponed. The motion
was lost by vote of 10 to 12, the
mover being paired with the absent
Mr.. Brown.
Mr.. Martin renewed his m otion to
adopt the the resolution and Mr..
Moore moved to lay 1t on the table.
The latter motion was lost by the
former vote. Mr.. Moore then moved to
amend by inserting the word "not" in
point of order that the amend ment
would negative the resolution and rem
der a change of sides necessary. The
speaker ruled the point we'll taken,
after which Mr.. Wright moved the
previous question. This motion was
lost by vote of II to II and the speaker
called the next order of business.
Mr.. Gaddis was on his feet instantly
with point of order leveled on the chair.
That resolution was still before the
house and was not to be ignored. The
speaker agreed with him. Mr.. Moore
demanded call of the house and the
question was finally put and
lost by ayes 10, nays 13. On
this vote Mr.. Moore had released him
self from his obligation to MIR. Brown.
His vote was challenged by Mr.. Martin,
claiming that he had been paired with
Mr.. Brown on all questions relating to
the prison removal bill, and charged
further that Mr.. Herrick had been ir-
regularly instructed by the speaker
Mr.. Moore rose to a question of privl-
lege, admitting the pairing agreement,
but said his obligations did not extend
to question Of the correction of the
minutes.
All this looks calm, almost .frigid in
type. To see and to hear was to fully
enjoy. The exciting incidents in a de-
Lucrative body are seldom photo
graphed upon the minutes.
For instance, at one stage O, the pro-
eeedings. Dr.. Wright leaned across
toward Mr.. Moore and whispered some
thing. His feelings were as suppressed
as his voice. Mr.. Moore jumped up
and interpreted the whispered observa-
tion to the house. The doctor be said
had told him that any man who would
enter into an agreement to make a
stand off with sick man and then
violate the agreement would steal a
| horse.
DR.. Wright rose, apparently to apollo.
gze for his hastily thought. out simile
and If he was in any sense apologetic it
was for the simlle. He reiterated his
observation on the snbject of contracts
and agreements, in somewhat modified
| language.
Another impulsive fighter was Mr..
Gaddis, whose shafts were directed
mainly and insiduously at the chair,
upon whom he sought to take revenge
for former injuries. The struggle was
bitter and exciting, but neither dis
graceful nor even undignifed, and alto.
gether the day was such one as had
never before been seen in the house
and may be seen but once again
and that once will likely be today.
The prison removal advocates had
exhibited dangerous strength. The
overthrow of the chair at the outset
was ominous and the friends of Yuma
feared for the afternoon. The struggle
was not seriously renewed, but
! just before the assembly adjourned
last night new plan of at
tack was indicated by notice
by Mr.. Martin that he would offer 6
motion today to suspend rule No. 40.
which permits no rule or order of the
house to be dispensed with without the
consent of two-thirds of the mem bers
present.
