SPEAKERS COUP
NEARLY ELECTS
LEWIS SENATOR

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 27.-Speaker
Mckinley sprung a scheme on the ses-
sion which took the republicans and
progressives completely OF their feet
this afternoon and for a moment prom
ised to be successful in putting Col
onel Lewis into the long term senator
ship. At the finish, however, the
speaker weakened and let the plot
fail. Assuming but one roll would
be called, republicans and progress
sives drifted out of the hall while the
roll on the short term senator was
being totalled. When the vote was
announced Mckinley directed the Sec
retary of the senate to call the roll
again On the long term senator.
There was an immediate uproar, but
the speaker stuck to his program and
forced the secretary to call the SEN
ate roll. Republicans and progress
sives refrained from answering the
roll.
When the house roll was called the
result Of the joint ballot was 66 for
| Lewis, democrat, one for. Sherman,
republican, and four for Berlyn, So
cialist. A noisy conference was held
at McKinley's desk before the result
was announced, participated in by
Senators Nanny and Compton, Glack-
! in and Keller. Some urged that the
speaker declare Lewis elected, con
tending they could prove a quorum

few minutes later on the ques
ton of adjournment of the joint ses
sion the chamber of representative,
was thrown into a near riot as a re
suit of bad blood aroused by the un
successful coup. Members OF boti
houses thronged the speakers rostrum
shaking their fists at Mckinley ant
hurling arguments.
Mckinley exhibited nerve and re
fused to be driven into confusion
by the excitement. BY this tim
nearly all seats were filled, absen
members having been called from raj
road stations and hotels.
'If there's another remark like tn
last one I heard from the republica

waste greeted their eyes, for in the
wake of the victorious armies came,
also, a horde OF vandals who seized
upon our institutions Of government
and took charge Of the political af-
fairs Of the state.
Where the soldier left his beautiful!
colonial home. with broad yeranda
and green lawn. now he gazed upon
a heap of smouIdering ashes His
lands had been washed in the bloos
Of his fellow man and his neighboa
his cattle scattered and gone, his
fields desolate and barren, his bar9
empty, the school houses gone into
decay, and the Fairgrounds where
the children had romped in gleeful
pleasure had grown up with brush
and briar Poverty, hunger and dis
tress gazed at him from every nook
and corner, and desolation and ruin
was abroad III the land.
But, my friends, the noble spirit OF
patriotism had not been Quenched
for these noble men, heroes that they
were, recognizing that the struggle
was forever over and done, beat
their swords into plowshares and
their spears into pruning hooks and
started again.
In this condition something had 10
be done. Our little resources that
were left to Us had to be utilized by
Capitalization and combining the
fragments. In our sister city of
Gainesville was an academy of learn
ing with nice buildings and furni-
ture, which the noble people of that
section had preserved, by their in
domitable will, through all these try
ing times of war, and all of which
they offered as a donation to the sem
mary east of the Suwannee river, on
the condition that it was located
there. This offer the legislature ac-
cepted, by chapter 1887, acts of 1865,
and the East Florida Seminary was
transferred to Gainesville.
Our people had done much for the
cause of education while the semi
nary was here, by way of donations
and otherwise, and while the people
of the state recognized the fact, the
state was then too poor to compen-
safe US for the loss that We had sus-
tanned by the removal of the semi
nary from Ocala
