urged that it be given calm considera-
ton. He pointed to the fact that no
Senator had been chosen, and he urged
that the session be continued in order
to determine whether an arrangement
might not be reached whereby it would
be possible to elect some Senator to
succeed Senator White, and thus give
California two Senators in the halls
Of Congress- He submitted that it was
time to lay aside personal feeling and
attempt to settle upon some man, he
cared not whom, so long as he was
representative Republican, to represent
the State in the National Congress.
Simpson also favored the substitute
Sims raised the point of order, which
was ruled out, that both the resolution
and the substitute We're out of order,
inasmuch as the joint resolution pro-
viding for adjournment at II O'Clock
midnight had not been rescinded
Dickinson opposed the substitute
saying that, so far as he was, con-
cerned, the Senatorial fight ended at 8
| O'Clock, when the last ballot was taken
The States business, he said, demand
| ed that the session be continued until
| IL o'clock to-day.
Davis said that in the Assembly
| guarantee had been given that the
Senatorial fight should not enter into
| the proposition of extending the time of
adjournment and that Dickinson had
assured him before the matter was
taken up that such a rule would be
made in the Senate. He said that if
word of honor was passed that no at
tempt would be made to extend the
time he would vote to so extend the
| L. >-1,n nVlrNn
Rettman said his trunk was already
at the depot, and that he was Walllng
to promise not to attempt to extend
! the time fNsXk'
DEBATE WARNS UP.
Shortridge said that Davis was will
ing to bury the Republican party and
pass his bills to regulate somebody He
said that Davis had the solid Democ-
racy behind him in his action to bury
the party. He appealed to the Senate
| to adjourn over go into joint assembly
and elect a man who was not a, coward,
a man who would favor going into eau
Gus and who would abide by the rule of
the majority of his party.
| Davis rose to a question of personal
privilege, but was ruled out of order
on a point raised by Leavitt, that
| in order until the matter under consid-
GRAFTON was disposed of.
! Smith said that if in the morning all
Senatorial candidates were withdrawn,
he would cheerfully agree to continue
the session, but if the candidates did
not withdraw he should favor adjourn
| ing at II o'clock sharp.
Davis finally got the floor on ques-
ton of personal privilege, and said he
| should not call a man a coward be-
cause he voted for anybody for United
States Senator, even if he thought he
was one. He said nobody could ever in
duce him to vote for Daniel NJ. Burns.
He had been insulted, in that he had
been called a trimmer" He said he
had truckled to no man.
Bettman grew excited and a Sergeant
at-Arms held him down in his seat
while Davis continued
Boyce opposed the substitute, and
said he felt that he would be derelict
in his duty did he not oppose such a
''bunco game as the one sprung upon
| the Senate
| Bettman said he wanted to say a
word for his friend, Colonel Burns but
| got no further before being met by a
point of order, raised by Dickinson, that
| he had already spoken to the question
| Morehouse said that no man had,
since the beginning of, the session, at
! tempted to influence his vote for any
| man for United States Senator He had
voted for his friend General Barnes and
said if he had it to do over again he
would vote for him again. He hoped
| that if it was decided to continue the
| session until IL o'clock this morning,
| the word of honor would be passed that
no further attempt be made to again
raise the Senatorial Question ~
| Wolfe said he received orders from
no man with regard to his substitute.
| Colonel Burns, he said, was not in the
habit of doing that kind of politics.
Burns, he said had been recognized as
the leader of the Republican party in
| the State by the very men who for the
past two months had vilifed him. He
said he knew the fate of the substitute
knew that it would be defeated be-
cause the Senator from Amador had
! the solid Democratic minority behind
him. Knowing this, he said, he pro-
| posed to withdraw his substitute. and
when he did so he left behind him all
thought of electing a United States
| Senator.
AT II A NJ. TO-DAY.
The substitute being Withdrawn and
the question falling on the Assembly

journment at II o'clock this morning. if
