in order to be sure that Nebraska
had gone democratic, was the princi-
pal business transacted by the two
houses this afternoon. The joint
committee pronounced the election a
success and adjourned.
In the senate it appeared at first,
from occasional side remarks, that an
attempt might be made to have the
explanation of the vote of Senator
Howell on the election of president
pro TEN expunged from the record.
The other four Douglas county mem
bers did not like the remarks made
by Howell, which they claimed re-
fected upon their integrity as MEM
bers, but the members thought it
would be a good thing to let the
record stand as it might be of use
later in the session, so when the time
came for such a motion absolute quiet
prevailed.
"A communication from A. E. Shell
don of the reference bureau notified
the senate that the Nebraska army
had abdicated from its quarters on
the third floor and that the bureau
would be doing business at the old
