Dover March THE tratorous tao
ties practccd this morning by the Regu
lars i'm the House when the bribery re
ports were being offered were, to say
the least, disgusting. After Chairman
Holcomb offered the Democratic side OF
the report and moved that ii be adopted
Representatives Clark, IIodgson, Pill
ing and Chandler came to the rescue
of the Democrats and the motion was
carried. Mr.. Moore moved that the
minority he adopted as an amendment
10 the majority report. Mr. HolcomI
came back with IL motion that the min
ority report he laid on the table; Mr..
Chandler voted with the Union Repub-
Leans, but Representative Clark crooked
his finger at him and Mr.. Chandler
changed his vote. This action on the
part of Alcssrs. Chandler and Clark
was received with cxclamatons of sur
prise and contempt from the men in the
room, that brought bushes of shame
to the cheeks of the offenders.
There are several men in Dover who
are trying to create discord among the
Democrats in favor of the Regulars.
Senators Stephen Slaughter, James
K. Clements, Ebe w. Warren and Rep
rrSentatives Chuuncey Holcomb. james
Il. SIlallcross and William G. Hardesty
all Democrats, met the Regular Rcpubli-
cans in II conference in the Hotel Rich
ardson this morning but no conclusions
were reached. The affair was supposed
10 have been arranged so that every
thing could be carried on with utmost
secrecy, but six Democrats strolling
aimlessly about the corridor OF the
Hotel Richardson meant something and
when n messenger swooped along the
desk from the caucus room the six and
the messenger would tic themselves in
u knot so tight that their whsperngs
could not be heard. 1t is evident that
one Democrats decision of yesterday is
reversed.
