joint session of the legislature this
aiiernoon to canvass the votes for
tate officers there was an inter-
luting struggle for supremacy
ending in a dead-lock.- Lieuten
ant-Govemor Mockeljohn, repub
lican, claimed the right to preside
under the constitution and uniform
practice. Speaker Elder, the alli
ance man, refused to vacate, and
the two officers occupied chairs
dde by side, each claiming the
gavel. The speaker attempted to
eail the meeting to order, .but was
himself called to order by the
lieutenant-govcrcor. inten-e ex
citement prevailed. The oilicia!
returns were brought in by the
secretary of state, and the lieutenant-governor
directed the speaker
to read ttiem. He began to do so,
but was advised by the attorney
for the independent party to de
sist, which he did. The lieuten-ant-g
jvernor ru'ed that no business
could be transacted until the
ieturr-8 were canvassed. Tbe
joint session sat for four hours.
Finally adjournment was taken
until to-morrow. The alliance
people, it is said, wished to pre
vent the announcement of the
returns, preferring t s-at their
men directly. Lieutenant-Governor
Mocklejotin held that it is his
duty to declare the otlicers having
a majority m tbe lace of the re
turns elected, and then let the
c ntest follow in the regular way.
