The Republicans adjourned satur-

Carter and Marshall presiding.
The Republicans, recognizing Mar,

by Lieutenant Governor Marshall, the
Republican senators left the hall.
The Democratic senator's, recognlz-
| ing President Pro Tenn. Carter, paid
no attention to the Republican pro-
ceedings and continued in session.
The Democratic senate then adopted
4 motion by Senator Allen, OF Licking
ton, to ratify and re-aAirm the former
action of the senate by which Goebel
was declared governor. This prevailed
on a viva voce vote, nobody making O
demand for the yeas and noes.
Senator Triplett, arti-Goebel Dem
ocrat, voted with the Democrats to1
the purpose of making quorum. The
Democratic senators adjourned after
adopting the Allen resolution.
The house convened atnoon. Speak

Democrat, demanded roll call to as
certain the presence Of quorum. The
Republicans did not answer to thell
names and only ffty-three OF the sixty
Democrats were present. The contes
matter was not taken up.
SETTLEMENT NOT IN SIGHT.
The impression that the contes
over the governorship will not be end

courts is not lessened by the actor
taken by the Democratic senators il

former action by which Senator Goebe
was declared governor.

Governor Taylor said that he woul'
not recognize as legal the proceeding
taken and which, it is anticipated, will
be duplicated in the house, but ha
told them that he looks upon thes
proceedings as illegal and will mo
quit the fight until the whole matte
is passed upon in the courts Of last re
sort.
His position is that the former pro
ceedings being void, the ratification
gives them no legal vitality; tha
the legal presiding officer, Lieu
tenant Governor Marshall, had de
clared the session adjourned whe
the vote in question was taken, an
. that the vote should have been take
