The cigarette bill has at last been
disposed Of. 1t caused more conten-
ton than any other measure before

the committee on miscellaneous bust

The Every Evening says:
The Democratic caucus announced
for to-day has not been held as yet.
Terrific pressure, however, is being
brought to bear upon the Democrats
to break away from Kenney and Sauls-
bury. Traitorous Democrats have
not ceased their efforts to transfer
Democratic votes to Addicks
Who can they mean? Why don't
they name them and not hold all Of
the members up to suspicion.
BY unanimous consent of the SEN
ate, the name Of Senator Hart, who
voted for the Ewing live pigeon shoot
ing bill by mistake, was expunged
from the journal.
The Senate passed the Senate bill
authorizing the governor to appoint
voters assistants tor service at the
polls.
After the baloting to-day, Senator
Clements was rushed to Clayton on a
special train to attend his brothers.

Representatives Clark, I1udgSuu, Pill

of the Democrats and the motion was
carried. Mr.. Moore moved that the

GRITTY report he laid on the table; Mr..
Chandler voted with the Union Rcpub-
leans, hut Representative Clark crooked
his finger ut him and Mr.. Chandler
changed his vote. This action on the
part OF MeSSrS. Chandler and Clark
was received with rXclama,ions Of sur
prise and contempt from the men in the
room, that brought bushes of shame
to the checks Of the offenders.
Thcr" are several mon in Dover who
are trying to create disrord among the
Democrats in favor of the Regulars.
