some Interesting developments. Two
members made speeches. in which they
expressed their conviction that II u the
duty OF the Democratic majority To
elect a senator without any further de-
lny, and that merely individual prefer
cnccs. among admittedly good candi-
dates, ought to be waived for the pub
lie good Especially did Representa-
tive Farr emphasize this vicw. saying
that he had been voting for the past
ten or twelve ballots for W. II. KIM
who was not his first. but his second
choice: and that he had done this under
"a promise from the friends u Mr.. kinE
that King could thus be elected. Now
he said. he would return TO his hrHt
choice. Hon. a. W. Mccunc. In the hope
that by no dolng. Mt. Mccune could be
elected. lie urged others TO take
similar course. and elect one or the
other. Representative o'Nclil. In "A
similar speech. forcibly explained his
reasons for making the same change
