years ago by the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture during the famous Quay deadlock,

requires ballctlng daily, the arrange
ments made yesterday make necessary

the SeEate and two of the House to
cast a perfunctory ballot Tor snators,
thus fulfilling the law. In each House,
the following resolution was offered in
the afternoon and adopted unani-
mously:
Resolved. What all pairs for to-

MORE BLUFF FROM ADDICKs.
United States District Attorney VIII
liam Michael Byrne had a long inter.
view with J. Edward Addicks in Phil
adelphia about the senatorial situa-
tiOn. He says Addicks made to him
the assertion that he has enough Dem
Gratis to elect him to the Senate any
day he desires to go. why ! can hard
