III the message OIL the GOVeTIlOT tHciS
is to-day law which makes it unlaw-
full so to use money and it is that law
which will, .he believed, inaugurate an
era Of purer politics.
This was an opportune time to ternll-
nate the proceedings against Green and
the labors of the investigating COM
nittee. The session draws to a close
and the work of this Legislature is
nearly finished;
Dibble closed with the declaration
that it gave him pleasure to say that
the gentleman so frequently mentioned
during these proceedings, the son of the
most distinguished soldier of modern
times, whose memory isecherished by
the nations of the world, was, he be-
lieved, utterly free from any wrong
doing. II never have said, nor will 1
allow anyone to say said Dibble,
that he has furnished the great name
he bears. l hope the resolution will be
adopted"
Fairweather said it gave him great
pleasure to second the motion of his
friend Dibble, and TO welcome him
back into the fold of the righteous. 1t
reminded him of the good old hymn:
While the lamp holds out 10 burn
The vlleSt sinner may return.
He hoped the resolution would be
adopted.
Clough opposed the dismissal of the
proceedings in contempt. He could not
imagine what sort of a compromise his
friend Dibble had made to SO change
his views in twenty-four hours. Clough
had been for Fairweather's resolution
the day before, but declared if Dibble
had turned so could he, and he would
vote against it to-day.
Burnett scored the resolution and its
author. He called attention to the fact
that less than twenty four hours before
Dibble had declared without reserve
that to dismiss the proceedings would
be for the Assembly to disgrace itself
Il ask him., said Burnett, to tell me
in what respect the situation is different
to-day from what it was yesterday;
ask him to tell me what influence has
been brought to bear to change his
milld.'' y
Dibble replied: !,
The signing of my bill by the Gov
ernor''
Burnett claimed that was no valid
reason. There must, he said, have
been something stronger. There had
been money used in this campaign, tens
of thousands of dollars of it, and men
will fall down before that who would
not be influenced by anything else. If
this Assembly he said, reversed its de-
cision of yesterday it will appear to the
people of this State suspicious; 1t Will
seem that there can be but one reason
for it, and that is that coin did it. IF
you want to face that then vote for
this resolution concluded Burnett.
Dibble arose white with wrath.
'.Honi slot qui NAL pense," he said,
turning to Burnett Evil to him who
evil thinks. If the gentleman has been
looking for coin and has not found it
can well understand his chagrin.
Burnett interrupted:
DO you mean to say that you found
it?'
DO you mean to say that I found
it ?'' retorted Dibble.
Burnett's answer was lost in the tur-
MOL and uproar, but Dibble continued:
1T is the old story of the political
Pharisee. Again 1 say to you: Honi
soft qui malay pense.'"
Dunlap tried to pour oil on the
troubled waters by some calmer words.
Meliek was glad the new era had
come, but thought it did not affect this
case.
Anderson, who had called Belshaw to
the Chair, said with a good deal o; feel
ing, Il am not in favor of this resolu-
ton. I-stand where 1 stood yesterday
on this question, and where my mind
will stand to the end of this session.
no matter what the action of this
House. 1 believe Illegal and improper
action has been taken in the attempt
to elect United States Senator. l have
tried to rule justly and fairly, but
am not in a frame of mind to-day to
speak further. I hope the resolution
will not be adopted
Brown favored the resolution.
Belshaw held to his belief that Green
should not be dismissed.
Huber said the whole thing had been
a roaring farce. He would not stand
for dismissal and he asked other
friends Of Grant not to do So
O'Brien hoped Democrats would re-
frain from voting.
The resolution was adopted by vote
of 80 ayes to IS noes-most of the Benz
ocrats refraining from voting.
