of it, will now reach the floor. The

tors for the district west of the river

ern part of the state.
The members of the non appropria-
lions counties have combined for the
purpose of defeating any special ap-
Dropriations. They claim to have 80
votes already pledged in the house,
which would give them two more than
enough to carry out their purpose. It
is doubtful if they can carry out their
scheme. however.
