Mr. Fulton said: "I notice that some of the democratic papers charge that I forced Durham's ballot bill out of (js regular order, and that I also caused to be counted as pres ent, members who were absent. These charges are wholly " untrue. It was Calmed that the bill came up too soon, and that there were other bills ahead of !t, This I know nothing about, and had nothing to do with. Every clerk of the senate will say that I never mentioned the bill to them. I had nothing whatever to do with placing the bill before the Sen ate. It Is also certain that numerous bills had been read and passed that day that were reported hack from committees sub sequent to the time the ballot bill was reported back, . . No objection was made to considering any of. these bills. Members had been calling up bills out of their regular order all day by consent of the Senate, At about 9 o'clock this bill was taken up by the reading clerk and he commenced read ing It. Objection was made that there were other bills - ahead of it. t stated that I had no means of knowing hat. It wns wholly a matter with the, clerk. A motion was made that the bill lay on the table, and the motion was lost by a vote of 14 ayes and 16 noes, After a number ot minor motions hod been made the previous question waa ordered by a vote of 18 for and 14 present but not voting, "The queotlon was then 'on tho passage of the bill." The roll being called, the I Democrats refused to vote. I asked sev- '-rtii, wuuii crieir nmnrn wciy 'LMiw. . t. they would vote, but none answered. J then Instructed the clerk to proceed with the roll call, and ordered that all who were present and refused to vote should be considered as voting In the negative. I stated, however, that the journal should jhow the exact facts that they were present and refused to vote. The charge that they were nat present is certainly not true. Now, as to my right to do as I did, I' have no doubt. In fact I was compelled to do so. The rules of the Senate provide that every member shall vote on every most Ion, unless excucj.'J. Not one of hem asked to be excused. The object of the move, that Is, not voting, was to make It appear that the constitutional number (twenty) were not prcu nt ivnd coime juontlv no business' could be transacted. Yet they wore present, and In open vlo .atlon of tho constitution and the rules, refused to vote. If sucH a proceeding Is proper, then a minority could absolutely control the majority. I certainly had to cct. What could I do? Did I do anyone a v wrong by directing that the Journal should jhow the exact facts, vis. that they were present and refused to vote. My saying that they should be considered as voting In the negative was possibly unnecessary, but It seems to me that where the rules require them to vote and they refuse to do so that Is .the effect. They certainly did not vote In the affirmative. "I was Informed afterwards that one senator, Mr Huston, had stepped into the cloak room when his name was called. That possibly may be true, and It may have been overlooked by the clerk, but If so, It was only one instance, and he certainly acted as he did to avoid wtlng. "As to tha charge thut the democrats and populists considered my action un fair, I have only to say that I am will ing to leave that to the members them selves. Several of the leading democrat-' Ic senators told me after It was all over that they did not consider 1 did other than my duty under the circumstances; that I allowed the 'record to show the facts and that no one had any right to complain. As for the populist senator. Mr. Vanderberg, he personally told me after the legislature adjourned, that there never had been a better or more fair pre siding officer than myself," IOWA'S WONDERFUL ICE CAVE.
