DEMooRATIC APPRovAL
For Congressman Long in His Tarsney
Van Horn Speech

For Congressman Long in His Tarsney-
Van Horn Speech.
From the State Journals Special orrespondent.
WARRINGTON, March 7.-Compliments
from the opposing party especially in
regard to the contested election cases are
not common, yet for its fair dealing with
the Van Horn-Tarsney case, commit
on elections No. 2 of the house has been
greatly commended.
Congressman Long of Kansas is one of
the members of this committee and de-
livered one of the best speeches in sup
port of the committees report unseating
Tarsney. The Democratic approval
above referred to was made by Repre-
sentative Mcguire of California who said:
81 am pleased to note throughout this
discussion the absence of partisanship
such as commonly characterizes election
contests. A desire on the part of the
representatives of the majority party
here to deal judicially with this
question has been manifested, at
least by those who have spoken, and it is
gratifying. That is the true rule which
ought to be applied to all contests. Elec-
tion contests have been too often treated
here, by both parties, as if a contest
threw the election of Representative
into the house, and left the members of
the house free to elect whichever claim
ant they might regard as the best repre-
sentative of the congressional district in
question.
81 am pleased to see the disposition on
the part of the majority party to repudi-
ate that rule and to treat this contest as
judicial question. We are here not to
select the man who represents our views
or who, in our opinion, would best repre-
sent the district. We are here merely
to decide who was elected to the office by
the legal voters"

From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Congress-
man Calderhead is of the same opinion
as the other Kansas representatives re-
garding annual clerks for members of
the house. He declares that represent
atives have great deal more work to do
than senators and there was no reason
why they should not have the same cIer-
icaI assistance.
Some of the members, he said, had lit
tie correspondence, but most of them had
a great deal more than one man could
attend to. He said he came from the
postoffice the other day with two south
ern ressmen-Crowley of Texas
and Skinner of North Carolina. Crowley

Calderhead is one of the members Of the
committee. Speaking of the inaction of
the committee Mr. Calderhead said:
ssWe have done nothing since the
committee was organized but listen to
dry discourses by the chairman of the
committee upon a bill of his to reform
the currency The bill is SO complicated
and cum bersome that no member of the
committee that have seen has been
able to understand it. Its virtues or even
its meaning are known only to the
chairman of the committee.
THE currency question is one of the
most important before congress and it
ought to be dealt with. Some measure
dealing with the question should be
proposed. yet nothing can be done so
long as the chairman of the committee
blocks the way with his hobby.

Today.
IF CASE is DECIDED

CINCINNATI. March 7.-Sherif Plum
mer of Newport KY, today demanded
possession of Scott Jackson and Alonzo
Walling, held in the jail here for the
murder of Pearl Bryan.
These men were arrested in this city
and have been held here pending an in
vestigation although they were indicted
weeks ago by the grand jury
Gov Buchnell of Ohio honored
the requisition of Gov. Bradley of Ken
lucky for the reQuisition two weeks ago.
The men had charges against them here
also but these were dismissed in order
to have the prisoners transferred to the
county where Pearl Bryan was killed.
The attorneys of the prisoners contested
the extradition and on the regularity of
these papers the arguments before Judge
Buckwalter began at a. m. The hear
ing proceeded with no such demonstra-
tiOns as those around the court house
and jail last Saturday when the same
cases were called.
The court room was crowded, but there
were no large crowds in the street and
no trouble is anticipated today on either
side of the river.
The principal point of attack upon the
papers was the affidavit accompanying
the Indictment and it WAS purely tech
nical, largely depending on verbal forms
So far as the courts rulings have been
made, it appears that the arguments
have little weight, and unless something
more important is presented the hearing
may be terminated at any time by an
order to deliver the prisoners to Sheriff
Plumer.
If that is done arrangements are made
for their transfers without a moments
delay and they can be we'll on their way
to Covington or Newport before the
crowd in the court house would have
time to tell the result on the outside.
This afternoon Judge Buckwalter over
ruled the motion to discharge the pris-
oners on the ground of the irregularity
of the proceedings for extradition.
He reserved further hearing on the
validity of requisition papers, and does
not state when the same will be given a
further hearing. Court adjourned at
1890 till 2 D. m. A patrol wagon was
kept in waiting inside the court yard
during the forenoon and it will be there
again during the afternoon in order to
transfer the prisoners as soon as the order
of the court is given.
