The vote: upon United States Sena-'J
tr yesterday was practically, the same ,
as it has feeen for the past two weeks,
with no perceptible sign of a break in!
tiy direction. There is plenty of talk
of a smash!' 6n alt sides but it is all from !
a tlworftut.il point of view for all the
member!". ;at .'east those who" are,
thouj-'ht tobe in possession of the key
to the situation, are profoundly, silent
a nd j irreproachable upon the subject,
and no conclusions of an Intelligent
- i .
character can therefore be arrired at.
jpotne maintain, on Fulton's side, that
ji. Vi be Pulton or nobody, and In the
stat breath they assert that, if the
contest results in a complete deadlock,
" i - -
that th" fault -will not lie in that fac
tion.; while others claim that Geer is
gaining ground and will be elected, and
still others say that it will be'a Fort
land. man or nobody. So there it is. ;
It now transpires (hat the people
throughout f the state, feel outraged , by
the conduct of the members of the Or
egon Legislative Joint Convention who
decline to obey the people's expressed
will.; Those in position to learn find
that; the people, regardless of party,
think themselves wronged by this fail
ure to ratify the vote of last June.
Letters are pouring in from every Quar
ter asking Geer's supporters to stand
linni The sixteen men now daily vot
ing for Mr. Geer have the moral sup
Irt of the people. Defeat ih this cause
would be sweeter than victory in any
other. Dut defeat is out of the ques
tion4 When the smash up comes the
cohorts will dash into the ranks with

tainea ana tney will e nappy ui -ine
sense of security such action will bring.
Senator Mulkejr ruled the appeal out of
order ; and a vote! of i the Senate sus
tained the chair by a good majority.
Senator Mulkey's ruling to the effect
that a motion to reconsider is in order
within three days after the action on
the original motion, is correct. The
Senate rules, it Is true, are silent on tttls
point, but rule 33 f'therules of the
House explicitly . bear outb'the chair's
ruling and afford a safe inferential
guide in this case. " It has been, the
practice of the Oregon House of Repre
sentatives, at different times, to permit
reconsideration I within one week from
the time of action on the original mo
tion, provided the motion to reconsider
has been made and recorded within the
three days' limit. ! Besides all this.
Senator Mulkey's ruling was funda
mentally right. . It opened the way for
the expression xt the Senate's mature
Judgment upon a question of vital In
terest to the people. ,

The feature of yesterday's session
mss the debate In the Senate occasidn--l
by a motion from Senator Vearung
for j the reconsideration of Croisan s
Direct, Nomination bill, which was de
feated on S.iturday of last week by a
votw of fifteen ayes and fourteen nays.
During the debate. Senator Marstersj
appealed from the decision of the Chair
upon the motion for reconsideration in J
which hie raised the point that a motin
to re-bisider must be made upon J.he J
same day that actijrm is taken upon
v, hich -it is proposed to reconsider.
House Bill N'a 136. introduced by
Speaker Harris, will be reported back
to the House today by the House com
mittee on. assessment - and- tar at. "on
with the r recommendation ; that the
Governor ? be" uiaped on the State
Board of Appraisers instead of the
State Treasurer,, an.! also remmend
ing some changes as to the dates , as
to the time of assessment, etci and
without any recomtaeGdatioa as to
