Evening journal., 1897-01-06

Mr. Hazel said that before he offered
the resolution which was passed at the
morning session he had consulted the
men who were interested in the con-
test, and they had agreed that they
wanted it settled as soon as possible.
Mr. Donaldson called attention to the
fact that he had voted on the matter
at the morning session before he had
been sworn in as a member of the
House.
Speaker Riggin spoke in a similar
strain, and then the resolution was
adopted
II is claimed that the Dickey men
had used the snap judgment argument
for all that il was worth in the case,
and that they had said that It did not
look right to push a contest for the
seat OF Democrat when there were
so many contests on hand in which Re
publicans We're involved
During the discussion Mr.. HAZEL re-
piled to one man that the Kent men
were willing to have their cases looked
into at any time which suited the con-
vention.
This was all of the business
transacted by the House at the after
noon session, and the House concurred
in a Senate joint resolution to adjourn
until Monday.
