The West Virginia Legislature.

to the effect that Logan, Democrat, OF
Monroe county, was entitled to the
seat which Secretary of State Dawson
had given to Via, Republican, in spite
of the fact that Via had no certificate
of election. This report was the cause
of the Republicans becoming heated
up, and all day long they occupied the
floor in speech-making, Mr. Martin, Of
Kanawha, leading on the Republican
side at the windup. Mr.. Davis, of
Harrison, closed for the Democrats,
after which call for vote on the res
olution was made After some dila-
tory moves on the part of the Repub-
licans vote was taken, which resulted
in a tie, Taylor, of Cabell and Hays,
of Gilmor, voting with the Republicans.
Hays, it is alleged, was mad because
he failed to secure an appointment for
friend in the makeup Of help in the
House. When it was discovered that
the vote was tie Mr.. Mansfield, Dem
ocrat, of Wayne, moved the postpone
ment of the announcement of the vote
until Monday. THIS called for taunt-
ing remarks from the Republicans,
such as Take your own medicine,
"Ah sh an - Some one moved an
adjournment until Monday, which was
carried. The action Of Hays and Tay-
| lor was a surprise to the Republicans
as well as the Democrats, and consld-
cradle excitement was created.
On Monday the first business Of the
House Of Delegates was the announce
ment of the vote taken Saturday on
the seating of Logan, Democrat, Of
Monroe. Taylor and Hays, who had
voted on Saturday with the Republi-
cans, changed their votes, and this
having broken the tie the resolution
seating Logan was passed-36 ayes to
81 hayes. Mr.. Logan was then sworn
in and took his seat
