THE BIRD RESOLUTION.
Whereas; The Federal statute
requires that the Legislature in
the election Of a United States
senate take one ballot each day
in joint assembly; and,
Whereas; Every member OF
this Democratic caucus is a mem
Der OF the Legislature, and that a
meeting OF this caucus once each
takes up unnecessary impedes
the progress of legislation and
entales an extra expense upon the
taxpayers of the State, therefore,
BE it Resolved; That this eau

This resolution was introduced
by Representative Lee Bird, OF
Lawrence County, on Jan. 2Sth,

man that the Daily Clarion-Led-
ger, in describing the scene next

vention in this city during the
palmy days Of Jim Hill, John X.
Lynch, or Jesse Taylor, the cop
per coIored negro from Brook
haven, who used to attend and
try to run every Republican con.
ventlon held in the State, and
who never failed to stir up a row
and a few knock down and drag.
