He claimed they had a right to
withdraw their names from the petit
tiontion because the Legislature has
already given Gus" what we asked
for in the petition, by the passage Of
another bill.
Mr.. McNabb, in reply, said the
'drys" forced the two elections when
they forced on Wilmington something
the city does not want.
He said he preferred to take Mr..
Burris twenty years ago in the Con-
atitutional Convention, before 'he
became so warped and a fanatic on
this subject" and in this connection
told of Mr.. Burris saying on the floor
several weeks ago that he did not

were granted the privilege OF the floor
and both claimed that in their opin-
ion the members had the right to
withdraw their names. The only rea-
son which they gave for this attitude
was the same as given by Mr. Bur
ris that what the petition called for
has been granted in another bill by
the Legislature.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
in the Senate last night to reconsider
the vote by which the Wilmington
rural New Castle county resubmis-
sion bill was passed on Tuesday.
Enough votes were not secured to
reconsider, and a keen parliamentary
tilt took place for awhile between
"wets" and "drys."
