LEGISLATIVE CLASHING!
A LIVELY THREK-SIDED FIGHT IN
MINNESOTA
The Democrats and AlU&ncemen Fuse
on Senate Officers and Will Probably
Do So in the House - Ignatius Don
nelly Playitg the Lead ng Role in
the Debate.
St. Paul, Miss., Jan. 6. In the legist
tore the House stands, democrats, 48; re
publican-, 4J; alliance, 3L One bi. o was
cast to-day for speaker, resulting. F. E.
Sear Is, rep., 41; H. C. Suvo.s, dens, 40;
E. I. CLamphn, alliance, 3L. The House
then adjourned.
In the Senate, after the installation of
the senators, Ignatius Donnelly, the alliance
leader, moved to take a leceaa until 3
o’clock this af .emoon. This was carried by
a vote of 3j to 2 3. When the Senate re
as-n moled at 3 o'clock it was to elect officers
who had already been decided on by tue
conference committee of the aliiaoce
and the democrats. F. N. .Van Duzeo,
the aliiaoce candidate for secretary, headed
the list, and the democrats and alliance
candidates alternated through t..e list. By
a vote of 37 to 25 for L. P. Hunt, rep., Mr.
Mr Van Duron was elected, and a similar
vote was cast tor the assistant secretary,
•croinng clerk, engrossing cierk and tue
sergeant-at-arms.
A HOT PARLIAMENTARY BATTLE.
Then came a hot parliamentary battle
over the rule-, in which Ignatius uonue.ly
was the site spokesman for the alliance and
democrats, and Jonn Day was the
chief speaker for the republicans Senator
Donne.jy undated that inasmuch as the adi
ance-demii-iauc combine a in tue major
ity the committees on railroads, grain and
vrarehous sand banking snould be made up
of iarmers, and when Senator Sinitn
moved to nave the last session's rules
continue and tnst a committee be appointed
to dec.de on jwruiaueot rules, he objected
vigorously. He couteuded ihat the major
ity suouid elect tne committees, aud that
nothing should bs dine ti jt Uiow their
appointment in the customary way by the
lieute: ant governor, since that otlicial was
of different politics from himself (Mr. Don
nelly) and a majority of the Henate. He
considered this but li.e beginning of the
battle to the deatn with the corporations,
and be was ready to tight.
LIVELY PERSONAL TALK.
Home lively personal talk followed re
garding the attempt, made by Mr. Donnelly
to effect a compromise witu either party
and the atlen.pt of that senator to secure a
Sledge from Lieut. Gov. Ives that
e would make his appointments in accor
dance with the demands of the alliance. So
very personal aid the debate become
that at length the lieutenant
governor felt called upon to make a
statement on wnat he considered a
question of privilege. He had stated that
be would make all appointments with strict
justice to the three parties represented, but
had been given to understand—as he said,
threatened—that unless he did as they
requested they would make s combination
■with the democrats and get what they
wanted anyway.
A HARD RAP AT SMITH.
After an unsuccessful attempt to adjouru,
Mr. himtii changed bn re olution to make
it agree with the ideas of the allia. ee demo
cratic combination, but they difeated it
anyway, and then, af.er an hour
an a half of wrangling over what
would be done, Mr. Donnelly offered
the identical resolution previously presented
by Mr. Hmith, und it was adopted. This,
however, left the Fenate with the rules of
the last session, with two exceptions, which
would leave the way clear for making the
changes desired by tne alliance.
FAR FROM AN AGREEMENT.
The three parties in the House are as far
from anv c mpromise as ever. The demo
crats aud alliancemea hive been in com
munication with each other through con
ference committees all the afternoon, and
are still at it to-night, but neither seems in
clined to yield, and Doth want the speaker
ship. '1 he fact tbat they managed to fuse
in the Senate may have a
tendency to bring them together in
the House, but the democrats claim that
the alliance got the test of it in the upper
House, and they want the best of tne
divi ion of the offices in the lower body.
The republicans stand firm for their can
didate for speaker,and hope to gain enough
votes from the other parties when they
break to elect their men.
oov. HILL’S Last tbbm.
He Virtually A nounces That He will
Not be a candidate far Ue election.
Albany, N. Y., Jan, 6.—The state as
sembly was Oill and to order at 11 o’clock this
morning ad immediately elected its officers.
For the first time in many years the demo
cra s controlled the body. William J.'
Sheehan was elected speaker, receiving
sixty-six votes against fifty six
cait for Milo M. Acker, the candidate
of the republicans. Mr. Hheeha i briefly
addressed the a sembly, after which minor
offioers were elected id accordance with the
programme. The governor’s message was
then received and read. Gov. Hill says:
“In euteri g upon the seventh and last year
of my service as chief executive of the
state, 1 will not affect to conceal my gratifi
cation of the fact that for the first time
during the past seven years the popu
lar branch of the legi-lature is in
political accord with the executive. I con
gratulate you and the people of the s'ate
that, notwithstanding the existence of an
unfair and unjust apportionment, the popu
lar voice has at last round expression in the
selection of one house of the legislature
which is in harmony with the sentiments of
the majority of the people. 1
DON’T WANT A THIRD TERM.
The first paragraph of the address is ac
cepted as an ofli ial announcement that ho
will not be a candidate for a third term.
The governor calls on the legislature
to provide for an enumeration of the people
of the state in order that “fair and just
apportionment may follow in due time.”
He advised general revision of the excise
laws, to the end that they may be more
easily understood and enforced, but ex
presses the opinion that the present license
charges are high enough.
In that portion of his message devoted to
the interests of labor the governor advocates
compulsory arbitration of disputes I etween
the confederations aid their emoloyers. He
calls the attention of the legislature to the
fact that there is at present no law regulat
ing the employment of Pinkerton detectives
during labor strikes, and suggests the ad
visability of framing a statute either to pro
hibit their employment or to deft e the
functious, regulate the duties and restrict
the powers of sucti "detective” organiza
tions.
DENOUNCES THE FORCE BILL.
The governor denounces the “elections
bill,” aud says that the Unt ed States Sen
ate is ignoring pre-sing legislative business
lu order tc push thr ugh tms tevolutionary
measure. He urges the legislature, by res -
lution or otherwise, as may seem best, to
express so emphatically its condemnation of
the proposed legislation, that the united
voice of New York’s representatives in
congress may be secured to avert from the
state and country the evil offices of so un
wise a law. He recommends such legisla
tion and liberal action as will enable the
state to make a proper exhibit of the slate's
resources at the coming world's fair.
SOUTH DAK )Ta'! L A <VMAKSB3.
The Republicans Left m the Minority
by a Coalition.
Pierre, 8. D., Jan. 6. —The legislature
organized to-day. The Senate elected re
publican subordinate officers by oue major
ity. The ilousi elected Mr. Seward of
Coddiugton county, au indspendent,
speaker, by ono majority. The democrats
I and independents are united in both houses,
; with the exaeption of or.e independent, and
i one democrat voted with the republ.cans in
the House in the choice of a speaker. The
opposition in the House and ee not discourage
the republicans ia the senatorial c ntest,
but aomewhat com plicate* matters. There
are understood to be sixteen contests in the
House, which may re-uit m increasing the
fusion majority 12 to 15. It is believed by
the repub leans that they will draw
independents a.d democrat! enough to el-ct
a senator. Senator Moody's chances are en
j daug -rad, thougn as yet no otner republican
candidate is in t e field. On the part of the
i fuiionmU there are a number of independ
i eots who will never vote for Mr. Tripp or
the other democrats, and some democrats
who will not vote for an independent. Thu
situation makes the repubbea s hopeful,
and Herat r M ody’s friends think he will
be strong enough to win.
IF ENTITLED M3 MBER3 TO BIT.
New Hampshire's Supreme Court De
nies £ll Jurisdiction.
Concord, Jt. H., Jan. 6.—The supreme
coart. Chief Justice Doe delivering the
opinl n, decided to-day to dismiss the cases
against Clerk Jewett, on the ground of
want of jurisdiction. This decis.on leaves
the entire netter of making up the roll of
members of the House in Clerk Jewett's
hands, and the admission of “if entitled”
member! will result in the election of Tut
tle, rep., for g vernor, and a repuhl.can
United States renator.
THE DEMOCRATS IN CONFERENCE.
The de rocratic memb rs-slect of the
legislature have been in conference several
hours to-night considering what course to
gursue at the opening of the session in the
louse to-morrow. Ti.ey are firm in the
opinion that the clerk should exclude from
the roll the names of all “if entitled’’
and add those elected from the former classes,
or pro rata towns, and believe they will
be justified in :eeisting the organization of
the House by all parliamentary expedients
to secure their constitutional. ights.
AN > X TENS .ON ASKED.
An Old Manufacturing Firm of Phila
delphia Embarrassed.
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 6.—The old and
well-known firm of George de B. Keim &
Cos., manufacturers of h rse blankets,
carriage robes, etc., and wholesale dealers
in saddlery w are at Noe. 610 and 612 Market
slree’, is temporarily embarrassed, and has
called a meeting of its cred
itors to be held next Falday.
The embarrassment of the ho ise is said to
be principally due to its inability to take
care of a large amouut of payer of the New
York manufacturing firm of Welch &
lAaf, which was driven to the
wall last month. Keim &, Cos.
were indorsees upon this firm’s paper,
aud the latter’s failure, coupled with the
strimrericy of the money market, has forced
the Philadelphia concern to ask for an ex
tension.
COTTON ABLAZ3 AT OPELIKA.
The Bucket Brigade hold the Flames
in Check.
Opelika, Ala., Jan. 6.—At noon to-day
the cotton in the alliance warehouse wis
found to be on fire. Buckets filled with
water had been placed throughout the
building, and with the aid of the e the men
at work in the building succeeded in keeping
down the flames so that they could be con
trolled by the fire department on its arrival.
There were between 1,400 and 1,500 halos of
cotton in the wareb use, on much of which
tbure wss no insurance. The exact cause
of the tire is unknown, but it is supnosed to
have been started by a cigarette, as a little
negro bov was seen playing on the cottou
shortly before the fire was discovered.
A WhE -KdiD TRAIN IN FLAME3.
It First Plunged Ihrough a Trestle
and killed Two Men.
Lexington, Kv., Jan. 6.—A special to

Hilburn, of Hunti gton, Yv. Va., and
Ed McNeill of Kilgore, Kv., were killed.

removed to a sleeper. The body of McNoill
could not be found, aud as the engine,
tender and express were bur ied it is sup
posed that his body was consumed in the
names. None of the passengers were
hurt.

Against His Bondsmen.

At this Archer ad the warden left the
court room and returned to the peniten
tiary.
MONTANA’S MUDDLE.
Danger That the ' tate Will Loss Its
!• lectoral Vote.
Helena. Mont., Jan. 6.—The Senate and
democratic house met in joint session to
day, and the governor read his message.
The republican house was in session only a
little while, but attempted to do no business.
The governor calls attention to the dangers
that i. ay result from a failure of legisla
tion th.s session. There is no provision for
canvassing the state election in 1892. In
regard to the choosing of presidential elect
ors, also, so ne provision must be made, or
the state will lose its vote in the electoral
college.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1891.
ATLANTA'S LIBaL SUIT. I
The Jury Unable to Agree After a
i ong Session.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 6.— The trial of C.
D. Barker, publisher of the Southern Star,
the prohibition organ, in which appealed
several or ioles reflecting on the character
of ex-Representative W. H. Venable, termi
nated in a mistrial this morning. The
publications complainel of are the same
for which C. K. Woodward, the alleged
author, was indicted last week. They were
writ en in -upte t of Sena’or Todd during
hi) race against Mr. Venable, local y known
as the buttermilk cam pa gn, the autnor of
the famous quart bill being a dealer in that
mild beverage. The jury were oat all nignt

is now credited to J. E. Morris, the ab

counted by the Germania Loan and Banking
Company. By way of • curity for their
payment he turned over what purported to
be Mr. Dewberry’s deed to the real estate
just sold him. Tbit document, it is charged,

DON’T WANT TO PAY NOT3B.
North Dakota Farmers to Fight the
Harvester companies.
Fargo, N. D., Jan. 6.—Arrangements are
being made to fight the collection of all the
notes now held by harvester companies in
this state. It is said the amount is
13,000,000. Tbs ground of contest it
that the notes were given for binders,
with a contract that repairs shofild be fur
nished free, and the recently combined
“American Harvester C >mpany” has made
a rule that hereafter all repairs must be
paid for in cash. Another ground for the
contest will be t.iat the new compauy is a
trust and is therefore contrary to
the laws of the United States
and the statutes of North Dakota. Ar
rangements are also being made to antago
nize tne buxines of the new company aud
favor the independent reaper companies, as
the American Harvester Company an
nounces prices 940 higher per machine than
has been the rule here for the past year.

the blackest district in the south willing, like a
New York city congressman, to pay $12,000 to
$15,000 for the privilege of coming to the House
he could b el cted unanimously. "A shining

POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
Waring Russell vs. Charles H. Olmstead.
As nearly as we can gather from the ex
tremely eulogistic communication In which
"Many Citizens” has advanced the claims of
“Col inei” Waring Russell to the Uigh position
of County Tr asurer, the issue ha- narrowed it
self down to a contest between two good citi
zens. That Col. O instead meets the require
ments of “Many Citizens’’ in this regard is cau
didly avowed. Is his claim f r “Col met” Rus
sell t.iat fie, too, stands in this exalted position a
true one? We imagine tuat every school boy
knows ihat to be a good citizen a man must be
patriotic and public spirited; law-abiding and
decorous, governing all his actions by hign
principles and settiu.-an example to t o com
munity in which he lives by prompt nb.-dience
to its statutes and a ready acqulesence in Its
manifest canons of mora ity It goes without
saying that no one can he a good citizen nor
worthy of public office who Coes not meet a
fair measure of ihise requirements and add to
them a fitness for the position he seeks if he
undertakes, in his character of good citizen, to
seek public preferment. Let us see bow
"Colonel'’ Russell meets these tests. He
has been an office Holder for years. In
deed, ne may ba said to be the most
persistent sea er after public tru t
which the politics of Chatham has developed in
half a century. He, therefore, ca mot plead
ignorance of the duties and obligati ins of office.
Yet, we find that whilst he was J llor of this
county his name appea red on the public records
in a way which ought to give pause to all good
ciilzens. in 1875 he wasaljudged guilty aud
flued by the superior court For peranum.-
George Manning, a notorious criminal, then
under sentence of the court, to leave the jail
and go to a magistrate's office to lake out a
crose warrant. Iu IB<6 tUasoandai aria! ig from
his signing of Criminal bonds was such t.iat the
judge of the kupsriei 1 court passed an order
commanding him to desist and invalilating
wit in five davs all bonds signed by him. In
1876 he was indicted for assaulting the solicitor
general In 1883 he was specially presented for
gambling, and upon filing a plea of guilty, was
fined therefor. In 1888 the putl cations in your
columns seriously implicated him in the flight
of Shenol, a state witness. In 1882. after hav
ing lived on the Democratic party all of his po
litical life, ho bolted the nomination and ran in
oppositi n to a ticket put out by party au
thority. His management of the jail b came
so unsatisfactory, to say the least, that the
legislature, at the request of the peopl of Sa
vannah, and in spite of the very plea which is
now being urged in his behalf, t< ok his office
from him aid turned It over to the sheriff. He
rati against the sheriff, Mr. Ronan. on this
issue an I was defeated. He is r ported now to
go about the court house armed with pistols, a
serious offense; and it is a fair subject of in
quiry to consider whether hi - private and pub
lic life has b. en such as to give him the claim
which his encomiast asserts in his behalf, upon
the “gratitude and affections” of this commu
nity.
This issue has been forced upon Col. Olm
stead's friends. He nor they have sought to
make this a newspaper contest. But it is not
just to him nor fair to t e ooinmunlty that such
a record as tne one exhibited here snould stand
as an illustration of the theory SavanLah
iansentertain regarding good citizenship. What
a commentary pon the politioil methods of
the inoumbent is shown in the tact that whilst
he is appealing to the German and tnsh ele
ment iu our milst for support in his contest, he
voted against Knorr for o roner when he
ran; against Goette, also, when he was a
candidate for coroner: Derst for alderman;
Ronan for sher ff; McDonough for the legisla
ture; Hanley for alderman; Meld rim for sena
tor; Reilly for the legislxture; O’Coonor aud
Douglass for aldermen, and has annou ced his
intention of boating Dillon for receiver in the
future. It has be n openly asserted and claimed
to be susceptible of proof t at he has declared
his ability to buy the vo eof any Irisuman for a
drink of whisky, and tuat having denounced
Powderly and his principles, he appeared upon
the stage at the demonstration on the occasion
of his visit.
Against this astounding record we opoose the
blameless life of Charles H. Olmstetid. The
searcher can readily And ids name on the records
of our city. When she needed her sons most he
was ready to brave t e and ingers of the battle
fi Id to sustain her reputation. When she suf
fered in the midst of pestilence he was going
about her streetsadministerin- to the sick ana
cheering the discomtiti-d. There is not a mac
amongst us who would not be proud to know
that his son would attain to the exalted stand
ard of domestic and public virtue which char

MANY OTHER CITIZENS.
TO iHE PUBLIC.
I am somewhat averse to coming before the
community in this manner, but as in my pres
ent ca di aey for the office of County Treasurer
certain misrepresentations concerning myself
have been brought to my attention, and. as it is
impossible to see personally all of those who
may have heard these reports, I avail myself of
this method of reaching them. It is charged
that I have made certain combinations having
reference to the municipal election and other
rbiitical affairs of the county. In reply to tuis
can only say that it is absolutely untrue. I
have made no combinations of any kind, shape
or form with any man or any body of men My
candidacy is a personal one entirely, and I hare
yet to hear from the gentlemen who have
honored me with th- tr support in this
arduous campaign the first word that would in
dicate that t ey re .ard it in any other light.
It is charged, for the purpose of alienating
the friends of foreign birth who are now sup
porting me, that in the stormy political times
of 1854 I was a “Know Nothing." On ttiis head
it is simply ueces ary to say that at that period
I was a boy ai school, having attained the ma
ture ago of 17. I have never voted any other
than the Democratic ticket.
It is alleged that my success in this election
would result injuriously to the interests of Mr.
William Harden, now clerk of the Treasurer's
office. I feel a delicacy in touching up on this
subject, for rea-tons that will suggest theru-
Boivt-s to every one. This much may be said,
however, with propriety—that all the friendsof
Mr. Harden b i know my relations with him
and the esteem in whl.’ii I bo.d him may rest
assured that his interests are in no danger from
me. Respec-trii ly. Chas. H. Olmstkad.

Waring Kusseil
The cause of Waring RtueeU came on for a
hearing o_c* befoie, before toe bar of public
opinion, and, although si. the evidence arena*
ble was gnown and heard, so great was his
▼indication that the verdict of „oe people re
sulted m the acquittal of the defendant by
electing him for more than two successive
terms to the rrighest office of trust in the
county.
If aught was known then against his fair
name and record for honesty and good work
(which, by the way, is not even allege 1 in toe
charges of the plaintiff), why was it not pre
sented them by the learned inquisitors of public
morals*
Is the plaintiff in error and his learned coun
selors sure that they were not witnesses to nis
good character and honesty of principles at
that time?
But It is remarkable how great and ominous
things look when rery. very close to the eye.
A gentle cathartic was administered on Sun
day to diagnose the plalut.ff 8 case, and 10l to
our astonishment the Olympian gods have
taken the black vjmit.
We deplore this unexpected state of the suf
fering p.tlent. This grave slate is the sure
forerunner of dissolution and political death.
But should toe patient recover land we pray
he might) we are confident that, being relieved
of the distemper within, his political vision,
heretofore seriously obscured, will become more
distinct and clear.
We feel aasurej, however, that the Judge* of
the High Court of Appeal will draw no in
vidious distinction between the plaintiff in error
and the defendant; but,judging from the record
as it stand? will confirm tne decision of the
court below, and will read for the defend int.
