HURLED DEFIANCE
AT LEGISLATORS.
Representative Snyder Issued a
Def In the House.
NOT AFRAID OF ANY MAN.
Said He Was Not Coward For Not Voting
on the Clark Bill, and Felt
Mentally and Physically
Capable.
Special to News-Democrat.

Special to News-Democrat.
Columbus, Feb. 9-Two members from
Stark county, Messrs Snyder and Pol
lock, have stirred up big muss by not
voting on the Clark ward option bill.
Mr.. Snyder's position called for speech
from him. Cole, of Hancock, had twit-
ted those who did not vote at all and in
his speech had said:
"If there are any towards in this
house they are the men who sat in their
seats yesterday and refused to declare
themselves. They had not the courage
to voice their sentiments when their
names were repeatedly called, and I
don't believe they are entitled to inn
pute cowardice to any one"
Then up rose Mr.. Snyder, Of Stark.
He got the floor on a question of person.
al privilege and roundly denounced Cole
without mentioning his name. Snyder's
attitude was warlike. He is not the
biggest man in the house, taking phys
ical proportions into account, but he
has the fire of youth and environment.
He drew his sword with an oratorical
flourish that made the members near
him dodge, and said:
IT want to resent the inuendo directed
at me for not voting either for or
against the local option bill on yester-
day. 1 was charged with being a cow
ard, and I want to state my position.
Before the organization of the house
permitted my sentiments on that ques-
ton to be expressed in that I was op-
posed to any and all sumptuary legis-
lation and that would not vote for any
liquor or temperance legislation. BY
refusing to vote 1 thought 1 expressed
that sentiment as much as If had vot-
ed No The gentleman who made the
thrust was regularly appointed on the
temperance committee, and he asked to
be relieved because he was too cowardly
to face the propositions that would
come before it and it did not lie in his
mouth to charge me with cowardice.
am brave enough to meet him, or any
other man, mentally or physically, in
side or outside the state house"
During the course of his remarks Mr..
Snyder became very earnest and as he
drew himself up to his full height in de-
livering his final declaration of war,
the scene was very impressive.
Cole did not reply.

Horse Restored.

The horse which strayed away from
the barn of Marsino Bros, in East
Seventh street, has been recovered and
restored to the owners. 1t appears that
the horse forced the door of the barn
open, and walked out. He was discov-
cred late Thursday walking up North
Walnut street, by citizen who took
the animal in charge and lead it to the
police station and then placed him in
a local livery barn. Mr.. John Marsino
learned where the horse was being re-
tanned and secured it.

appointed tomorrow as day of
special supplication for the happy end
