POLICE SWARM A CAPITOL
RADICALS BAG NEW HAMPSHIRE'S
LEGISLATURE.
Cleric Jewett Spr ngs Hie Roll Call as
Soon as the House Was Called to
Order—Democratic Objection Dodged
on the Flimsiest Kind of a Techni
cality.
Concord, N. H., Jan. 7.—Got. God Jell
had mem ben of the police fo ~ce in ch trge
of the city marshal scattered in various po
tions of the state house earl t is morning,
and as the members of the Sen ite and
House filed upstairs it was necessary for
them to pass by the manbal and his oflioen,
and also to identify themalives s members
elect of the legislature. Four offlcerf in
citizens’ dress occupied seats on the step*
leading to the speak r’s desk. At the
dem cratic legislative caucus tais morning
the placing of policemen in t e state house
was severely denou ced.
Long before the hour to assemble the gal
leries were thrmged with spectators, while
some of the leading representative* of buth
parties occupie I sent* in the lo b,a* below.
Uhe spectators gathered in a ticipation of
an exc.ting time at the opening of the #e— j
sion. Much time was consumed by Clerk
Jewett in readi ig the certiti a ei of mem- ;
bers. At 11:35o’clock Gov. Goodell entered
the ball of re.iresentauv-s.
CALLING |HE ROLL.
Twenty-five minutes later Clerk Jewett
called the House to order. He immediately
proceeded to call the roll of members pre
pared by him. Included in the roll were
the nanies of all tie “if e itiilei” mem
bers who presented certificates. All those
from towns showing a decrease in popula
tion under the census of 1890 below 60u were
omitted from it, as were those from former
classed or pro rata towns, and also the names
of the members from Me edith and Ware on
account of improper certificates.
Clark Jewett announced that the consti
tutional numnerof representatives appeared
to be pres-nt, and directed the sergeant-at
arms to administer tbe oath to the mem
bers.
The roll of the House prepared bv Clerk
Jewett contains the names of 178 republi
cans and 158 democrats.
FOUR DEMOCRATS MISSING.
Four democrats did not present certifi
cates. Had they done so their n tines would
have been entered upon tbe roil by him,
giving that party 162 members, and the
republicans 17 majority. All the 178 repub
licans res >onded to their names and only
156 democrats. Mr. Bintfbani of Littleton
moved that a oummittee from each party be
appointed to ascertain who are legally en
titled to sit as members of the Houre. Clerk
Jewett declined to state the motion, on the
round that tue House hud not organized.
[r. Bi giiam then, amid much confusion,
put the question and de dared it carried.
This oaused laughter. After the members
had been sworn in Mr. Gallinger of Con
cord was elected temporary chairman.
The Senate rgauized this noon, electing
Mr. McLane of tbe Milfor i district presi
dent. C. J. Hamblett of Nashua clerk, E. H.
Washingt >n of Nashua assistant clerk, O.
H. Hamblett of Mason sergeant at arms,
and Charles Emmons of Wil not messenger.
The returns of ihe votes in the different dis
tricts were read.

Honse; S. T. Jewett, clerk, and William
Tutberly, assistant clerk. A recess was
then taken until 8 o’clock. In the House
this afternoon ihe republican candidates for
sergeant-at-arms and doorkeeper were
elected, ond special committees ap
pointed to report the rules and
seledt a chaplain. The Senate met the
House in joi t Convention at 4 o’clock, and
filled two vacancies resulting from failure
to elect. Bo h are filled by republicans.

CONNECTICUT'S LAWMAKERS.
A Tilt Between the Houses Over the
Canvass of tbe Vote.
Hartford, Conn.. Jan. 7. Both
branches of the legislature met to-day.
Tbe Senate speedily organized, electing
Mr. Read of Bridgeport, dem., as president
pro. tem.. with the other cancus nominees.
All the senators were present.
The House spent a long time in organ
izing, owing to technical questions about
seating several members, which, however,
did not affect the republican majority.
Finally, the House chose A. W. Paige as
speaker, and the other republican caucus
nomi ees.
Be ore the House organized the Senate
sent a committee of two democrats to the
board of canvassers demanding the official
canvass. It was refused on the ground that
the canvass must be seut tu the gene: al
assembly, which was not then organiz’d.
Subsequently the official canvassat 1 o’clock
was sent to tbe House, according to oust m.
After more or less parliamentary skirmish
ish the House adopted the usual joint ru e<,
and committees were appointed uuder them.
SENT TO THE SENATE.
About 5 o’clock tbe House sent the official
canvass to tbe Senate, with a resolution re
ferring it to tLe joint committee on the
canvass of the notes for state officers. The
Senate had voted not to create tuch a com
mittee this year, and when the can
vass and returns c ime in the Senate created
a special committee of its own to
examine and report upon them. After about
two hours’ oo.iferer.oe the majority of the
committee, two democrats, reported that
Luzon B. Morris was elected governor, J. W.
Alsop lieutenant governor, J. J. Phelan
secretary of state, M. H. Sanger treasurer,
aud N. S aub controller. This was the reg
ular democratic ticket. Resolutions declar
ing each so elected were passed.
THE REPUBLICAN’S REPORT.
The republican member of the committe
reported that various persous had been re
fused an opportunity to show that the re
turns were incorrect, and that as the re
turns we e not right no one should be de
clared elected, aid the matter should be
examined into and tbe fact of no election
shown. This was defeated.
Tbe House added anew rule, providing
for a continuance of the legislative day in
case of a recess, and subsequently took a
recess until 10 o’clock to-morrow morning,
which will be reckoned by tbe clerk as a
continuance of tbe first day. Ti e Senate,
after declaring the state officers elected,
adjourned until to-morrow at.ll o’clock.
A caucus of republican senators and
representatives at 6 o’clock nominated O.
H. Piatt for senator, unanimously.
INGALLs’ HALD FIGHT.

Topeka, Kan., Jau. 7.—lt is stated that
prominent alliance leaders, who are dis
turbed over tbe bitter fight that has already
grown up in their ranks over the United
States se >at irship, are discussing the advisa
bility of not organizing the House until

this would be to postpone the elec ion of
senator until July 4 instead of Jau. 27. The
House will be called togetuer on Tuesday,
the 13th, but the organization can be ueld
over until tbe next day.
A LETTER FBOM TURNER.
The Alliance Advocate , the organ of the

to-day publisues the following letter from
Representative E. J. Turner of Kansas to
Frank McGrath, president of the Kansas
alliance:
Horse or Representatives, (
Washisoton, D. C., Dec HI, I*9o. 1
Dear McGrath -I wrote you yesterday, but
from thoughtlessness addressed it to J. 8 Me-
Grath, care National hotel. Topeka I got your
fa her s initials instead of yours. I wrote in
leg rd to some railroad legislation. Ii
galls will try to force his election
or drive the allia’cemen into a caucui

election of an aUiatcenian. so that be can
carry the paru down nitu urn. He cairied it
down at theelction and c n carry it down
with ie>a aftli tion to his pride In tne legislature
if the election of a republican is de

from Far-veil at O-borne, and be says

to know it I want hi* vote, and thinks
it could be had. I wrote him an
evasive letter, asking him what he
tbiu ht of it. etc ; that I had not written
any one upon the subject; would not lie in
in an*'way. I saw senator Berry oi MarsnaU
county here tederday, aud he is positively op
posed to Ingalls, but says be w ill vote for turn
if there is no other n p oil.-an to
vote for. Judge Perkins Introduced him to
me and asked me to talk with him
In his t Perklnr’i iat rest, and I did so. He
would not support Osborne or Pi ck. hut said he
could suppor. Perkins. 1 tol I him not to t ar;
there would come a time when he would get sn
opportunity to vote for some o her republican
than Ingal s, and he was anxious to get into the
deaL 1 told ulm to talk to Senator Wilson, as I
thought he felt just as he (Berry) did I
shall write Senator Wilson of Hays
City to- ight and a-k him wat he
thinks about tbe possibility of my election,
and be never talks- 1 told him you were my
fr.end, and he could '.ah' with you ooflden
tiaily I have no money to spend intbefl rht.
If I succeed and t could ana would put up $3,000,
but it is difficult to use It in that way; that is a
promise in case of aucce-s; yet you any bare
some friends who Rrou db j wiltin to take such
a chance. We will pass that bil to stablish
that United States judicial di-trict, and I can
have the United States mars la! and clerk.
Tbe first changes with the adtnitinrra

But I guess you know liake care of my fri nds.
We have agreed not to agnate this bill until

or some of the eastern fellpws mignt try to

whole matter with you and Hilp
Wilson and abide the rcsnlts wi'h con

the printed matter that I can adjust, let me
kuow. I have just finis ed drawing a bill I
shall introduce to loan money on farm security.
I like it. and think you will. I will send you a
copy as soon as it Is printed. It is on tbe
genera: plan of issuing money • n farm security
in the Interest of the farmers, instead of issuing
it on bonds iu the interest o the bankers.
Yours truly, B. J. Tuiuier.
P. S.~ Unless Ingalls get* some alliance vote*
he will go in with sixty-two who wbl vote for
him a reasonable number of times, but as soon
as t eir instructions are completed they will
leave him.
Home of the alliance candidates may expect
to get some of tbe republican* when they leave
Ingalls. That would keep all of them in the
field. Codding thought be oould get the re
publican vote when Ingalls was out of the way.
Of course, an alliance caucus for t at pc pose
would name the man, and thus end it. T.
HOW THE PAPER GOT THE LETTER.
Thi letter oame to McGrath’s office with
other correspondence, and was opened by
bl confidential clerk, who turned it over to
Chairman Cause of the al ia ce legislative
committee. Copies were made of the letter
and the original was turned over
to McGrath. The alliance lead
ers t then a-ked McGrath to give
the letter to the public and clear himself of
any suspicion which m gbt attach to the
propositions contained in it. He refused to
give the letter to Chairman Chase for pub
lication, ktiowing nothing of the copies
having been made of it. Ci airman Chase
then turned over his copy of the letter to
the editor of the Advocate.
the editor’s comment.
Accompanying the publication of the
letter is the following comment by the
editor, Dr. McLullin:
The following letter which has fallen into our
hands will explain itself. In giving it to the
public we believe we are performing a sacre i
duty. The interests at stake are too great to
be sacrificed to any personal consideration
We reg.et the ‘position In which the
publication of the letter places the
president of our state allia ic- and a member
of the executive board (Codding). We leave
them to make such personal explanation as they
may have t > mate. The schemes that are un
fo.ded in tbit interesting document are worthy
of some consideration at this time. We ex
pect this publication to lea l to other develop
ments which we shall give to our readers os tue
plot unfolds.
m’gratr’s statement.
Mr. McGrath wa seen by a reporter this
afternoon. He said the alliance officers
were at liberty to inspect all his let ers,
both those received a id dispato .ed by him.
Ho had nothing to conceal from them. The
letter printed by the Advocate was an
exact copy of one received by him. He had
no further statement to make to the public
beyond this. He oouia not prevo it people
from writing to uim. Other officers of the
alliance docilned to be interviewed concern
ing the letter.
LIVELY TIMES IN NE R SKA.
The Lleuterant Governorand Speaker
of the Rouse Clash.
Lincoln, Nish., Jan. 7.—Thoproceedings
in the Nebraska legislature this afternoon
have been of an extraordinary character.
At 8 o’clock the Seiate and House as
sembled in joint session for the
purpose of canvassing the vote on state
o'ficere, as prescribed by tho constitution.
Trouble was precipitated at the outset by
a misunderstanding as to which officer
should preside over the joint committee.
Lieut, Gov. Micklej hn advanced to the
chair to presi ie, cl.iinii b i.is right under
the constitution, the statute aud the uni
form practice of the state. Speaker Elder
of the House refused to vacate, and the two
officers >oc ipied emirs side by side,
claiming the gavel. The speaker
at tamp ed to call the body to order, but
* himself called to order by the lieuten
ant governor. The bad was crowded and
the excitement "S intense, t ut no demon
stration vitas made beyond some loud taik
i g, and a numbe of motions to change the
plan of proceedi g to canvass. These
m dons' t ere deelared out of ordor. The
official returns were brought in by the
secretary of statu and laid before the body.
ORDERED TO OPEN THE PACKAGE.
The speaker was directed by the lieutenant
govern r to open the package and read tbe
retur s. He began the work, but was ad
vise i by the attorney for the in leoeudent
party not to do so. tie theurofu-ed to go
on with the work. The lieutenant governor
ruled that no business could be
transacted until tbe returns were c uivussod,
and this brought on a deadlock. Tne joint
convention sat for nearly four hours, the
time being taken up by oratorical fencing
and labored argument from each side to
?rove that the oiber was iu the wrong. At
o’oloek a recess was taken until 10 o’clock
to-morr w morning, when the deadlock will
be again in force unless one side decides up >n
a coup t lat will bri.ig victory. The point
involved is this: Tbe independent or alli
ance p riy is contesting the election of the
democratic governor, and the remaining
state (officers are republicans. They wish
to prevent the announcement of the elec
tion of these officers, evidently preferring
to seat the contes ante directly. Lieut.
Gov. Micklejohn, who is a re üblican,
holds that it is his duty to declare elected
the officers having a maj riiy on the
face of the retu ns, and that if there is to
be a contest it must be commenced In the
regular way, alter this announcement is
male. Th.s . as tbe point of contention in
to-day’s struggle. The alliancemen are iu a
majority, and had the speaker of the House
been a stronger man they w aid undoubt
edly have brought affairs to a crisis to-day
by a show of mu.-cular as well as umerical
strength. Intense interest is felt in the out
co.i.e.
