The largest crowd of the extra ses¬

sembled in the house shortly before
noon Saturday, the hour for the joint
session at which it was expected that
the long and tedious wrangle would
be ended by the election of W. J, De¬
hoe to the,Unit,>d States senate.
There were rumors to the effect, that
Senator Lintiey, of Louisville, who
xvas one of the bolters in the Hunter
race, would not be present and that
Representative Lioberth, of Newport,
woti'il also be missing, both without
pairs. This 1 caused the republicans
great uneasiness.
To add to this the gold democrats
held a caucus at, noon and decided to
assist the silver democrat a in an effort
to break a ijuorum.
