fifteen votes given to Dupont gave him
majority.
Mr. Mitchell (Isep., Oregon, chair
man OF the committee ON Privileges
and Elections, presented to the Senate
the majority report Of that committee
on the claims of Henry a. Dupont
(Rep) to be admitted as Senator
from the State Of Delaware, for the
term commencing March 4, 1885, in
| succession to Mr.. Higgins, and opened
the argument to-day in behalf Of Mr..
Dupont and Will continue tomorrow.
Mr.. MitchelPs report says:
TT is conceded by Mr.. Dupont and
by your committee that III this conten-
tion is true, that is, if each Of the
thirty persons present in such joint
assembly, and each of whom cast a
vote for Senator, was duly qualified
member Of the Legislature Of the State
of Delaware, and under no disability
such as would deprive him of his right
TO a seat in such assembly and to cast
vote for Senator, then Mr. Dupont
was not elected Senator, and is not
entitled to a seat in the Senate.
1T is admitted upon the part Of Mr..
Dupont. and such is the fact, that OF
the thirty persons SO present and
claiming a right TO vote as aforesaid
twenty-nine of them were so qualified.
lit is -contended, however, that one OF
the thirty. namely, William i. Watson,
claiming to be Senator from the
county of Kent, and claiming to be
Speaker Of the Senate, and claiming the
right as such Senator to be present and
participate in the proceedings of such
joint assembly and to cast his vote for
Senator, was not entitled, under the
Constitution Of the State Of Delaware
and the laws of the land, to be present
in such joint assembly, had no right
TO be counted therein in making up the
| number present, and had no right to
cast his vote in such assembly for any
person for Senator.
If this contention upon the part of
Mr.. Dupont is correct, then it is con-
ceded, provided the right to inquire
into Watson's qualifications to vote in
| such assembly now exists, that, mas
| much as, in that event, there were but
| twentY-nine members of the Legisla-
ture of the State Of Delaware present
entitled to vote, and as it is conceded
Mr.. Dupont received the votes of fif-
teen of such members, no one Of which
was that of Mr.. Watson, thus receiving
clear majority Of all the votes cast,
| or entitled to be cast, ne was duly
elected Senator and is entitled to his
seat. The whole question involved.
then. in this case, is as to the right of
Watson to be present in such joint as
sembly and to be counted therein in
making up the number present SO as
TO require the vote of sixteen members
10 make an election.

injuries Received by Senator Flannigar
May Prove Fatal.

Richmond. Va, March 4. Senator
Flood entered the Senate chamber this
afternoon and, walking up to Senator
Flanagan, ,belabored him over the head
with cane, inficting a painful but
not dangerous wound. The assault
caused much excitement. Flood was
arrested and bailed. The assault was
provoked 10y the fact that Flanagan,
a day or two ago said on the floor
that Flood had falsified.
The condition of Senator Flanagan
is not so favorable tonight. His ply
sicians fear now that there is concus-
sion of the brain. They say it cannot
be definitely known within the next
thirteen hours what the result will
be. He has been delirious for some
hours.

IN BEHALF OF MOTIONS BOON
A Man Named White Making a Canvass
in North Carolina.


Washington, ID. c., March 4-(Spe-
ciaI From a perfectly reliable source
it is learned that one White is now in
North Carolina from New York pro-
fessedly in the interests Of Platt and
the Morton boom. The following gen
tlemen, ! am informed, met him by
agreement in Greensboro last Friday
night: Messrs. Cowles, Walzer, Hol-
ton and Brady, and a decision was
reached among them looking to the de-
feat of Pritchard at the State conven-
ton This White is said to be going
over the State roasting Pritchard and
whooping up Settle. / saw Senator
Pritchard, but he had nothing to say,
more than that his fight would be Il
square one and that he desired it to
be settled on way or the other before
the State convention, and had no fears
as to the result.
/ understand to-day that Senator
Hawley, on account of pressure of
business, will tomorrow, retire from
the committee on Pensions and that
he has urged Senator Pritchard TO ac-
cept the vacancy, which will thereby
be made.
During the consideration of the Up
degraff bin to-day Settle actually pro-
posed an amendment reducing the
salary allowed for attorney of Eastern
district from $4,000, amount in bill, to
$50, 500. He was promptly checked by
Woodard seconded by Henderson,
chairman Of the committee, and
squelched under an overwhelming vote.
Henderson was reminded that Settle
did not even live in the district and
readily agreed that, of course, there
fore, there should be no reduction.

THE remarks OF William Shakespeare
at the Crystal Falls opera house on
Wednesday evening, recorded in another
column, in regard to the pension policy
of Grover Cleveland touched sym
pathetic chord in the audience. And
well they might. They were timely and
they were true. II IS enough To make
the blood OF any patriotic American
boil to recall the insults heaped upon
the union soldiers 10y the present admin
istration--by Grover Cleveland, through
the ministry OF his hireling, whose SUI
Witty has been rewarded 10y the emolu-
ment OF life office. To think that the
men who laid their lives rs n sacrifice
upon the altar Of this nation, in order
that its government might endure and
liberty in it's fullest form might not per-
ish from the earth should lie subjected
20 the foulest OF Islander and the most
villaiaous intrigue by n man who lodged
into the alleys of Buffalo in order to
escape the draught is enough TO make
the blood OF any patriotic American
boil. The Cleveland pension policy has
been all that Mr. Shakespeare claimed il
had. IL has been anti-veterab and anti
American. II has Disseminated against
the union soldier in favor OF the cx-con-
federats. IL has been fair exposition
OF the true inwardness Of the only presi-
dent this country has ever had who was
too cowardly 10 shoulder a musket in
the defense OF the flag which our fore
fathers dyed in their own blood at
Bunker Hill. Long may such old heroes
as Shakespeare live to keep the ignomny
OF Grover Cleveland fresh in the minds Of
the people.

AnKEN gubernatorial stock h very
much on the boom. The man who has
made the record in congress for the
whole state OF Michigan is very likely,
from present Indications, to be given an
opportunity to make record for it M
it's chief executive. Mr.. Aitken has the
vigor, the ability, tho experience and the
honesty to make record that would
stand out prominently in the history OF
the state. He would be business
governor and n man OF the calibre that
is needed Mt the present time. When the
finances OF the state are in better condi-
than they are today, it will bc time
enough to pass around the executive
plum for good-felowsnip. Let's have
Aitken and man who will he governor
