session Of the Legislature to cause all
the Democrats to vote on one side and
all the Republicans to vote on the
other was I'm respect to committee
clerk, Walter l.. Wldng. This young
man was subjected to some rapid fire
handling yesterday afternoon and
would no doubt have been summanly
elected from his office, had not wave
of sympathy swept over the north sid-
of the chamber, The grievance against
Nildlng was that he neglected his
duties; that he was never on hand TO
do his work, which had often crippled
individual members as well as commit
tees.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton Of the senate by President ALI
son, who stated that so many COM
plants about Mr. Wildmg had come to
him that he felt it his duty to mention
II.
Senator Bennon said he had heard
that Mr. Wiliing had left the senate
without any explanation whatever,
then Senator Love stated that the clerk
had obtained a position with the Keith
O'Brlen company, and was trying to
hold down two jobs at once.
Senator Bamberger, who had been
gradually growing red in the face, said
that when horse balks the best thing
to do Is TO swop horses; he thought
Wilding should be released.
Senator Gardner said he had expert
enced considerable annoyance over the
absence OF the committee clerk, but he
thought there might be some eXplana-
ton the young man could make, and he
moved that committee be appointed
to wait upon him to see what he in
tended to do.
by this time Senator Bamberger was
nearly ready to burst. 81 am astonish-
ed he Vehemently exclaimed, that
the members condor this neglect Of
duty. / have not been In this body long
enough TO know iuH what Is the proper
thing TO do. but In my business, never
would have tolerated such inattention
TO duty for one minute What do you
think Of senator running around af-
ter a committee clerk ASKING him what
he intended TO do DO you think that
Mr.. Mccormick or Col Webber would
follow after an employe, who had neg
lected his work to e. out what he
proposed doing IN the future? | think
to carry out this business properly you
had better send out after the young
man and bring him here In car
riage."
Senator Mckay stood up and pleaded
for the clerk like patriarch. He said
the young man, perhaps, felt that he
had been showed aside by one Of the
other clerks who had had more expert
ence; that perhaps his duties never had
been very clearly defined to him. And
I'm the light Of his youth, with his re-
putation to make, he thought the SEN
ate should give him a chance to ex-
plain.
This was the most telling speech Of
the controversy and the mo-
tion OF Senator Gardner car
rled The latter was appointed as a
committee OF one to see Mr. Wilding
and get from him any explanation he
had TO OFFER
II seems that Senator Mckay Is gift
ed with more than usual discernment,
as ii is understood among the employees
Of the senate thta the harmony between
Mr. Welding and the other clerks Is not
so great that II has become oppressive.
OGDEN WATER BILL PASSED.

water system by condemnation was

he would Ike TO know what the house

and demanded an investigation, and
Senator Lawrence told him the house

Bamberger said II was and he proposed
