LEXINGTON, KY, March 14-St. John
Boyle received e votes for Senator in the
joint convention of the Legislature to-day,
less than enough to elect.
Senators James and Walton were on hand
early again this morning. and had no diff
hculty in securing entrance to the House
chamber. The chief Of police and the sheriff
with their assistants were also on hand, as
usual. The sheriff made no attempt to clear
the cloak room Of the Senate, but about IL 80
O'clock he again ordered all persons, except
members and officers. 10 leave the upper cor
ridor, and this was done. The crowd pres
emit, however, was much smaller than yes
terday, and there were no indications of
trouble.
The joint assembly convened promptly at
II o'clock and everything passed off quietly.
The call of the roll showed 31 members pres
emit; necessary to a choice, 81. There was
only one pair-Freeman with Holloway. The
Republican Senators refused to vote. Sena-
tor Hayward arose and declared that the
preservation of the public credit required
the maintenance of a sound currency, and
that he would cast his vote for a man who
favored these principles-John G. Carlisle,
the greatest Secretary of the United States
treasury since Hamilton. The announcement
Of his vote was greeted with cheers. At the
conclusion of the roll call of the Senate,
Senator Deboe asked for a call of absentees,
and the Republicans then voted for Boyle.
Populist Poor voted for Petit. The ballot
resulted: Blackburn. 81; Carlisle, IA; Boyle,
60; Petit, 1; Buckner, 1. The Chair an
nounced that as no one had received a ma
jority of the votes cast there had been no
election. The assembly then adjourned.
Governor Bradley this evening issued his
first official order, commanding the sheriff
of this county to preserve order in the Capt.
toll building, and, If necessary, the Joint
Assembly. at the request of the president.
The order commands the sheriff hereafter to
clear the rotunda and keep persons out of
1t and out of the cloak rooms of the Senate
and the House while the Joint Assembly is
in session, except Senator Blackburn, MEM
bers of the assembly and constitutional Off
GERS. 1t also orders the sheriff to not let
any persons enter either house except MEM
bers and such other persons as the Presi-
dent of the Senate and Speaker of the House
may Indicate.
A resolution introduced in the Senate to-
day to allow only members and c%onstitu-
tional officers on the floor will be adopted
on Monday. AS the rules of the Senate are
the rules of the Joint Assembly, this would
exclude James and Walton, the expelled
members, from the floor. This seems likely
to cause trouble on Monday.
Governor Bradley says he will not call an
extra session. The House passed the neces-
sary financial measures some time ago, and
the Senate has failed to pass them. He says
he will leave the responsibility with the Sen
ate If IL does not pass them.
