s,y saw one OF the few strllgh; party
S-,,s n, the session. The bill to restore
~ Morgan county the delegate Of which
,b,t c,unty wls unjustiy deprived by
psmocatle legislature in 1891, came up
IN the house. Al once the two parties
rse1 up. Republicans in favor Of giving
20 Morgan county the delegate 20 which
/; 4 snhtled under the constitution and
psmosrats solldiy against that righteous
ps1positInn.
pslerate Mansfield. Democrat or
vayne. SAID he was convinced that a
w-,gg had been done bu; he thought
ms legislature could not right the
v7,,c Delegates Henshaw and Hun-
tsr II the delegate district In which
Morgan county ls. voted with the Re-
pubIleans They were elected as sound
money Democrats,
on the Republican side the debate was
ably conducted by Messrs, Hunt and
Hughes, Of Kanlwha. Hughes. Of Tyler.
oai Garyln, OF Ohio. and on the Demo-
cra.ls side By MeSsrs. Bennett. OF Cab
eil. kinney. OF c4lhoun, Brown. of Tuck
e.. and umstead. OF wetzel.
The Republicans brought out the facts
TIA, Republican Morgan. with nearly
tsree hundred population in excess of the
constitutional requirements, had been
denied a delegate. while Democratic Po-
cAhon.as, With less. had been given a
delegate. The burden OF the Democrat
&c arEumen: was that the Legislature
could not make any correction on the
constitutional line. 1t IS no. proposed
70 take the delegate from Pocahontas,
although that could easily be done under
the eostitution. The bill will pass the
seaate.
Thenet result OF this legislation will be
tn. give to Morgan one OF the two dele-
gates appartioned to the delegate dis
trlc, composed OF Morgan, Berkeley and
Jefferson. Each OF these counties VIII
then have a delegate. and the delegate
dis,F!ct will have one.
DELEGATES and senators who favor re-
peal OF the provision requiring publica-
;!ln OF delinquent tax lists, wish 1t un-
derstood that their attitude does not I'M
ply hostility to the newspapers OF the
state They say that in their respective
thew see no reason to go 10 useless eX~
penFe. Some or them object also to pub
iisnlng the names nf persons too poor 90
pay :helr taxes. The amendemnt max
Ing DuHcatiOn optional with county
seems 70 meet with general favor.
In some way the attitude Of Delegate
jackson, OF Mason, towards the mine in-
Eepc.ion bill, has been misunderstood.
SIR. jackson has been through all the
grades OF mine labor, and Is In full SYM
pathy with the miners. His only desire
ia 10 get the very best measure that can
be nr,ysed for the protection OF miners.
HIS absence from the house on commit
tee work. when the Toler bill was up
has probably given rise 10 the mlsundeE-
standing concerning his position. No
man in this legislature will DO more than
aIr. Jackson 70 get good inIne inSpec'
tidn law.
Attorney General Riley and Hon.
John y. Howard are here to argue a case
