ment, begun late yesterday afternoon.
McCumber and Lindsay Against.
Mccumber delivered carefully pre-.
pared constitutional argument in oppo-
sitlon TO the seating OF Quay. Only q
brief while ago he was regarded as an
advocate Of the Quay claim. but he an
nounced In his speech that after careful
consideration he had changed his opinion.
The change he said was not based upon
emotion. but upon reason.

scented general and constitutional reas-
ons why. in his opinion, Quay ought not
be seated. He held that the appointment
Of senators by the state executive was
provided for by the trainers of the con-
stftutton merely 70 provide for the nl-
Ing OF vacancies that may be regarded as
unexpected They never contemplated,
he maintained. that the legislative pow
err to elect should be divided with the ex-
ecutive, and he urged that in the pres
ent case the governor did not have the
constitutional authority 70 appoint MI
Quay.
