Senator Blackburn and friends, includ-

at once drew up a resolution of rebuke
to the governor.
Petrie. republican, asked that a COM
mittee be appointed to confer with the
governor and see IL such an order had
been issued. Bronston bitterly scored
the governor. Goebel said the governor
had no right to interfere with the rights
Of the senate. II, for one" he shouted,
''am ready to protect my avn rights
and privileges" Salier, democrat, said
it was the duty of the senate, out of re-
spect to the governor, to send a COM
mittee to find out If he had issued such
an order. Bronston said: Never will
a committee go to the governor with
my consent, or with my vote"
Sheriff Armstrong here said that he
had received the orders mentioned from
the governor.
Bronston said: "I would denounce
the act of the governor, IL II were with
the last drop of my blood. 1t is an out
io6NONo, UNLAWFUL, lTeaCneTOuS act,
he screamed. amidst the pounding of
the gavel and suppressed hum of many
voices. Let the governor leave us
alone. Pass resolutions and condemn

Senator Deboe denounced the refiec-
tion on Governor Bradley as false and
untrue. II say IL to his face" said he,
glaring at Bronston. Then he sat
down.
Bronston jumped up and commenced
to unbutton his vest. Before he could
act the presiding officer succeeded I'm
restoring order.
Salier said he was not willing to in
suit the governor, and moved to refer
the motion offered by Bronston to the
committee on rules. This was done.

outvoted, subsided. II the sheriff at
