tho motion to engross the bill was laid on

fin, Speaker of the House of Representa-
section 76. chapter XVI of the Complied

contested election of Frank Burman, Tenth
representative district; Levi Cox Tenth
representative district, and John II. Butler,
Tenth representative district.
j. a. PIPER, Secretary of State.
WILL ENTERTAIN THE CONTEST
jenkins of Jefferson then moved to indef-
nitely postpone the whole matter. Upon
this motion he said that he would appeal to
every man in the house for fairness. There
was no question but that the four members
from Douglas county now occupying their
seats had a majority of the votes cast at the
late election. He admitted that the large
majority in the house could throw them out, |
but might did not make right
Hull of Harlan, in reply, said that while |
1t had been stated that these members whose |
seats were contested had a majority of the |
votes cast, 1t had not been proven. For |
himself. he wanted the matter investigated |
fairly and openly by the entire house. Hull |
then moved to adjourn, and Waite of Lam |
caster, demanded the ayes and nays. The |
motion to adjourn prevailed by vote of
so to 3S, few free silver members voting |
with the republican minority, which was
solldy against adjournment
Speaker Gaflin then announced that the re- |
publicans would hold a caucus this evening |
at the Lindel, and the free silver forces |
at the Lincoln hotel.
The house then adjourned to 10 a. m. to-
morrow
