Somers reported for committee on mileage and perdiem. Conditions bad changed so they found it impractical to report at present. They were granted further time. CRAWFORD RESOLUTION. Huntington called up resolution to vacate 21 seats, and moved to amend. Conn seconded. The amendment aimed to strike out the list of members whose seats were sought to be vacated. Themas: That would leave nothing but a lot of whereases to the resolu tion, would It not ? Hegue: Ho believed this amend ment was a step backward, and a proposition to capitulate at the last hour of the last day; he was opposed to it. Semers: The time had come whet patience ceased to be a virtue. All ".iad been done to Induce the opposi tion to come In and organize. Not a member of this house but had ap pealed personally to them to come in. But they had rejected all overtures. He believed in putting this through. His conscience and his judgment told him he was right. The opposition has given evidence of guilty-conduct by Its absence. Brown of Morrow, said this resolu tion was aimed at men who had dis honored the flag of our country. Should we grovel on our hands and knees before these people and say we have sinned in your sight and In the sight of your rulers. Each house was the judge of the qualifications of ita members, and had the power to expel such members for failure1 to preform their duty. The opposition members were disqualified by their conduct and it was the duty of this house to say so. We have got in Buch a position that we have got to show the people that we stand lor American principles. My present opinion is to vote for the resolution. Huntington In closing the debate said he bad no objection to passing the "whereases" and resolutions, to inform the governor, or to call his at tention to the matter. But we are here called upon to make a solemn finding of fact and to declare vacancies which wo have no power to do, and on what evidence? That they bad not even a report of a committee of this house. If a circuit judge re fuses to sign a bill of exceptions a mandate must be had from a superior court to compel him to do so. If a man don't pay his debts we must make complaint to a court. ne could only be defaulted after he had notice according to legal process. No evidence was before this body to act upon, and this bouse was asked to find an ex-parte Judgment Brewn: What you seek to strike Out Is not the finding of fact, but the con clusion ? Huntingten: The. enumeration of 1 the offices to be declared vacant. Somers claimed that on January 23 ( the opposition had notice served upom them to cctne and show why they were not at fault. They arc in default and have treated uswith contempt. He' denounced the course of the senate and the president of the senate in strong language. Crawford wished to say otie or two words and would then move an ad journment, lie had received infor mation that some of the parties sought to be vacated wduld come iu and or ganize Monday tie would move to ad journ to Monday at 11:30. Huntington allowed that the notice claimed to have been served on the opposition was nbt a legal notice. Crawford's motion to adjourn was seconded. Lost. Brown niovedtUc previous question.

Mr. Shrove will commence the erection of his plant Immediately, and in a few weeks Stay ton will be lighted by electricity. Tomorrow has come and gone and still Mitchell is not elected. How many times has the paid organ lied about the matter?

Formula, by Harritt& Lawrence, ASSEMBLIES Voting Blank Cartridges, i Mitchell Men Get Mad and Abuse Their Betters. There was an immense crowd In the galleries and lobbies at 10:30 Friday night when the last Mitchell Joint convention was to assemble. Johnson, Nosier and others hurried to and fro. In conference with Chairman Brown ell. It was decided, In advance, tc head off a vote THE JOINT CONVENTION was called to order at 10:51 and roll call showed the following, present: JOINT ROLL CALL. Benson, Bridges, Brown, Brownell. Chapman, Conn, Crawford, David, Driver, Dufur, Gratke, Gowan, Gur dane, Harmon, Hogue, nughes, Hope, Johnson, Jennings, Langell, Marsh, Merrill, Nosier, Patterson, Price. Palm, Rlgby, Smith Somers, Stanley, Thompson, Thomas, Taylor Veness, Reed, Wagner 36. As In the case of tho Benson house, the adjournment of tho 6cnate over to Monday had.worked a disturbance In their calculations, and new plans bad been made The rollcall was not got through without somo speotwnaklng. THE TALKING. Gurdane now said he was raised an American and ho was 73 years old, and why he, elected as a Republican, who had been here for forty days, could not be permitted to vote for senator. Those men who woro stay lug out were glying this state a repu tation for disorder that would keep people from coming here In future to join our population. Nosier said In one hour from now the 19th general assembly would bo at an end. He would not use harsh lan guage, but ho had stayed here forty days, and tho opposition expected them to surrender. But they would never surrender. He eulogized tho two Democrats who were sitting with them. He believed when the opposi tion found them immovablo the oppo sition would come to their senses. Ho for one was determined to stay here all summer. Brown of Morrow, when his namo was called arose and referred to tho Mitchell letter as published in The Journal. Friday evening. He consid ered that if tho letter was authentic then no opponent of Senator Mitchell had a right to remain out of this as sembly. He simply wished to bo re corded as one of the men who respi ted the principles of Americanism and of the flag that waved over this build ing. The goddess of liberty would bow her head In shame if this body failed to meet from day to day. He trusted all who remained outside would now come in and participate in these nroceedlncrs. Reed asked if Brown had not yoted to expel the 27 members he was now asking to come In? Tho rollcall was closed by a speech from Mr. Brownell. JOURNAL "X" RAYS. Directed Upon the Oregon Legislature and Lobby. We are all fighting for American ism and a.poatofllcc. , Yesterday was a complete Waterloo for tho Mitchellltes. Gratke never falls to attend the Mltchelllzcd Republican caucus. . It seems there are two kinds of Methedism: Dr. Driver's and the other sort. And sixteen members solemnly de clared the seats of twenty-soyen mem bers vacant. Bob to George C. B: "I'm running the reform school boys and can't;, but you just give 'cm hell." Col. Bob Hendricks was on the floor of the joint assembly directing the Mitchell forces In person Friday night. .. A member, from Lane, says what takes the Palm: "There are too d n many constitutional lawyers In our crowd," It was purely an accident that all four of the speakers last hlgiit wayed tho flag and proclaimed tholt AnioM1 canlsml , When Brownell announced a' "Re publican" conference the othcrday It was notlccablo that Nosier was a participant. Bob Hendricks to Brewnell: "I dare n't abuse Lord orKlncald in my paper, but you make a hot speech und I will, endorse It. A Frcnchmau'says that America has ' sixty million people "mostly colonels." If he had come to Oregon he would have made it unanimous. Senator Reed punctured Brown's second oratorical flight, by one of those blunt questions' that he nhvajs seems to stumble onJ entirely by accident. Nosier declared that In one hour the nineteenth general assembly would be a thing of tho past and then voted to adjourn until Monday at 11:30. It Is a pity a telogram from and credentials from the A. Itorr P. A. ean't give Mitchell a scat In tho next senate. "'Tis pity; but pity 'tis, 'tis true." The Statesman records that Brown- ncll "tafked eloquently." But It was only after he had sent a pngo with a note to Postmaster Nosier to call upon "tho president for a fow remarks.' Tho Mitchell "let-hlmself-dqwn- easy" circular was printed at the Statesman otllco for private circula tion only. The public found It In The: Journal. ' Great Scott I Nosier and Brownell posing as tho representatives of tho nil whole Republican party of Oregon, That's what they said they were doing, and they are truthful men. The sweetest sound on earth Is Said to bo the swan's death song. Mitchell never sang so sweetly as ho docs in that farewell address to tho Republi can party which was delivered in a hearse. A man Imported from Kansas be tween two days and suportcd by Mitchell contributions ever since, when he wasn't striking Dolph for a loan, is a pretty bird to jump onto men like Scott, Lord, and Klncaid who pay their own bills. Senator Mitchell, now honestly, don't you think it takes the barefaced impudence of a hard-boiled criminal to keep up such a proceeding as the Benson houso, In tho hope of retain ing a seat In thoUnited States senate, when according to its own theory It has expired by limitation? Come, 'few up. In the Davis house those responding to tho roll call Friday were: Bayer, Bilyeu, two Davlses, Dustln, Emery, Hill, newser,Leet Ogle, Povoy, Riddle, Schmldtleln, J.S. Smith and Yoakum, 15, These members can attend and do attend whenever there Is or can be a lawful session of the house. Senator Brownell at beginning of the session wrote Secretary of State Klncaid asking for an important ap pointment at the state house, de claring his unbounded admiration for Klncaid. In his Friday night speech he! i showed his gratitude as only Brownell can. As Col. Chas. Knowles, head push of tho Mitchell push remarked last night "I would not go through again what I havn gone through for the last thirty days to become president" His Industry has consisted in having Mitchell meal tickets punched, smok ing Mitchell cigars and drinking Mitchell cocktails. Brownell helped kill the Republican party In Kansas before ho came to Oregon. He Is doing much toward accomplishing tho same result hero, no and his associates by their "methods" have turned Clackamas county, and by allowing him to pose as the representative of the whole party, as ho did last evening, he will turn the entire state. Poor Nosier? Ho has only a ghost of a claim to a scat in tho house. After going back on tho Populists who elected him, he Is now met with tho denial to sign his poatofflce petition, by the Republicans. Tho Republi cans have made a tool and a fool of him. Ikey Patterson, the Marlon county boss, refused point blank to sign Nosler's petition, , E, tt X The' Joint Convention Routine. Only) Thirty-one Answer Rollcall . Others Accounted for. Many members have gopo to Port land to spend the Sunday and there is a general Impression that then? will bo an organization Monday.
