All day sunday and nearly all night
We're required by the members of the
| legislature to arrive at an agreement
upon the appointment of attaches.
The apportiOnmcnt of the state cen
| tral committee was like a red rag to
a bull, none would stand for it
or any part of it, In one or two cas-
es. counties secured what the ap-
portiOnment had given them. and in
most cases much more. Some coun-
majority seems satisfied SO that every
thing is lovely with the exception OF
one or two spots where the snicker-
see is spoken OF with more or less
denunciatory defamation.
The fight over attaches was a rope
tition of the biennial fight prior to
the meeting of the Legislature and the
| thing is over and done
| George ID. Pyne was elected prcsi-
dent of the Senate without opposit-
ion. Pyne is hold over Democratic
| Senator from Esmeralda and good
choice for the place.
| J. b. Giffen, as predicted in The
Appeal from time to time, had a
walkover in the Assembly for Speak
cr. When the first vote was taken,
Ex-Governor Lem Allen, OF Churchill,
had 10 votes. Frank Folsom. of Wash
oe had withdrawn and Gimcn was
elected by vote of - to 70, two not
voting
All states in both the senate and
the assembly We're smashed when the
leaders were elected and it was nearly
midnight before the caucus finished in
the senate.
The list of those who will act as
attaches follows:
1t took three hours last night to
(cut the patronage pie and distribute
the plums which grow on the legis-
lative tree.
During the campaign the State Cen
trail Committee made an appOrtiOn
ment of the legislative offices by
which each county in the state re
ceived patronage according to the
number of democratic votes it cast
for the head of the ticket lin the gen
eral election two years previous.
a circular was printed by the cen
tral committee to send to each county
central committee and each man run
ming on the Legislative ticket Throug.
some mishap which no one seems
able to explain these circulars
miscarried and when the members
met here the majority knew nothins
about it.
There was an army of people afte
the plums and they charged on tn,
: combination and when they go
through, the appOrtiODment wa
, knocked to flinders and the pie wa
: carved on entirely different lines.
= In the original apportionmen
Ormsby county was only entitled t.
two places but after the slate wa
. smashed, Ormsby managed to secur
. eight places. This may fairly be cor
sidered lively work and Storey count
, stood hot with Ormsby all the time
1t only shows what can be done fo
Ormsby with a solid democratic dele
