Wahiiinuto.v, Jan. 10. The attend
ance in the house wub light today, but
the galleries were well filled. The civil
service debute was resumed, and Coouey,
Democrat, of Missouri, took thu floor. He
opposed thu whole civil service reform
idea, which lie denounced as a cheat
and a narrow swindle, A civil pension
list and olllcu holding class, he argued,
were logical and inevitable if it was to
be maintained.
Dorr, Kepublicun, of WeBt Virginia,
followed witli a set speecli in opposition
to thu law.
Cox, Democrat of Tennessee, said he
was so utterly opposed to the civil serv
ice reform Mint he would vote to strike

billed for this afternoon and final con
ference on thu suuatnrHhip at night.
Although balloting begins in both

general UBBcmbly stand 7-1 to 71 on joint
ballot against Hanna.
Tliu inauguration of Governor Bush
nell and other events in connection with
it caused no cessation of conferences and
hustling in the senatorial contest. Thu
reassembling of the legislature brought
the members buck and the contest was
waged more persistuntly and bitterly to
day than ever.
In thu hotiBO the resolution was offered
to amend the state constitution bo that
United States senators shall be elected
by direct vote of the people. The house
udjourned till 10 a. m. tomorrow.
In the Benutu the 50-year franchise
bill wiib diucuBHed and an attempt made
to pass it under a suspension of the
rules, but It wua referred to the speciul
council and made a special order for to
morrow, just before the balloting for
senator begins. The senate took a re
cess untill 1 p. m., when Lieutenunt
Governor Jones and other state otlieerB
will be sworn in.
There has been much talk today about
bribery. Hon. E. G. Rath bone, one of
Hauuu's managers, claims to have the
stenographic notes of his secretary, who
was concealed and is alleged to have
heard the opposition make an oiler of
$5,000 to one member.
Today the opposition say they have
a mun who will, when his name is called
on ballott tomorrow, announce that $10,
000 wub ofl'ered him.
It is further stated that one of the
bolting Republicans will produce money
in thu session, and, witli it piled on his
desk, maku a sensational spoech on the
manner in which lie wub approached.
Thu money, which, it is claimed, was
taken as part of a preconcerted trap
plan, will be sent back.
