Washington, Feb. c5.--After the sem
ate had disposed of much routine busi-
ness today MIR. Allen Pop) OF Me-
braska offered a resolution for the np-
pointment OF James u. Lloyd OF North
Carolina as second assistant door

developed a hot controversy.
Mr., sherman called sttentlon TO the
fact that by an arrangement on both
sides OF the senate two young men. one
satisfactory to the Republican senators
and the other 10 the Democrats. were
appointed. II II ,ecdful that another

sponded, that aa one had been chosen

and another for Democratic caucus 80
crets, II was most appropriate, In Niew
OF the proportions which the populist
party was assuming in the senate that
Populist officer be chosen.
There was considerable further dis
cusslon, but the resolution finally went
over.

distinct surprise In the form OF a

Morrill, began with brlef statement

was certainly manifest that congress

tive from such q county as Jefferson should be generally understood. He should be thoroughly posted on all important questions, Qs0 as to the needs of his county; (2nd) the State, and (3rO on National affairs. A Representative is one of the most important offices within the gift of the people. A Represen- tative should not only be able to vote but to wield an influence. Men in the past had been railroaded into the Legislature without letting the people know how they stood on public questions. I am a school teacher and identified with that in- terest, and consider the cause of education paramount to all others because it is the foundation of our society,"" He then declared himself as follow: Fayors a tax for public schools and is in favor of separating that tax for white and colored schools; fayors encouragement of normal schools and uniform sys- tenn of text books. The presentsystem of buying books, he said, costs on an average of $6 for every scholar in the public schools. Favors an in creased appropriation for the main tenance of the Confederate Home; fAvors an equitable adjustment oi taxes throughout the State and an equalization of the same, and closed his speech with an appeal for pure men in of1ice-smen who stand above the clouds in public duty and private thinking The speaker made an excellent impression and was literally applauded.

election to the United States Senate and paid the Senator Aice compli- ment. He favored the Anti-Trust bill introduced by Senator Adams in the last Legislature, and said he proposed to take up that bill where the latter left off. People are more interested in that bill than ever said the speaker, for while cotton seed is worth only about $6 per ton the. consumer had to pay as much for cotton seed products as when seed was worth $16 per ton. He pointed out the methods and opera tions of the trust in this, State. which elicited loud applause.

 This concluded the list of candi dates for Representative, after which

ne declared, so far as it's railroads are concerned, is in the hands of a grinding monoply and the State could not be developed as long as it's development is retarded by high freight rates. He favors the Anti Trust bill, uniform system of text books, an improvement of the public schools and a better road law and tax for the purpose of working county convicts on the public highways. The county con- Victs of this county, he continued. are hired out for IT cents a day and he thought their services worth more than that on the public high ways.
 He concluded by declaring himself for free silver and said it was the paramount issue before the people of the United States. He admitted that the financial question had nothing to do with the Legislature, but urged the people to vote for no candidate for any office who is not 8 silver man. Every man has in- fuence from Constable to President and can use that influence for free silver or against it.
 The next speaker was
 DR. II. II. sTANFIELD,
 who made simply an announce ment of his candidacy for Rep resentatiye. He had no views on public questions and expressed none. Should he be tie choice of the people, he declared that he would work to promote the interests of the county to the best of his abili- ty.
 COL. R. A. ROGERS
 was then introduced. He took pleasure, he said, in addressing so large and intelligent an audience, but the brief time allotted him would not admit of an elaboration of his views on public questions. He urged the passage of a railroad com mission bill and favored the utiliza- tion of the penitentiary convicts in developing the great resources and interests of this country.
 MIR. J. D. cULpEppER
 was then formally presented as the next speaker. He explained that he was a farmer and not used to speech-making, but he presented a clear-cnt platform in a brief manner which elicited the applause of all his hearers. He was in favor of amend. ing the Constitution so as to hold elections only every four years, thereby reducing the cost of cleo tions to the people; favored a rail road commission bill; favored the abolishment of the office of Assessor and the granting of the powers ot assessment to the magistrates anC the county boards of equalization favored an amendment to our laws giving the Circuit Judge discretion ary powers in change of venue cases favored a change in the revenue laws making it the duty of collectors to advertise personal delinquent as well as real property, which he thought would greatly increase the revenues.
 MIR. CREED CALDWELL
 was then introduced He declared himself openly for J. K. Jones for re
