comment was that of Nippert in place of
Lieut.. Gov. Caldwell, the latter being the
only one who was elected with
Gov. Nash two years ago that
was not renominated for sec
league caused Caldwell TO run several
thousand behind his ticket in 1899 and had
vigorously opposed his nomination. Nip

Caldwell he is liberal in his views and

their displeasure because Nippert in the
last Legislature voted against the Clark

In assuming the gavel. Senator Hanna
stated that Senator Foraker already had
sounded the keynote and would continue

dent Mckinley, discussed the financial
question and insisted that the country de-
mand a continuance of the Republican

or other disturbances. He favored per-
sonal liberty, he said, so long as it shall
not interfere with the public good. No
