Tho discussion aroso from a, motion Introduced on tho opening day by Armstrons,. republican of Ncm&ha, which provided for tho appoint mcnt of an additional assistant clerk to preparo dally u record of house proceedings for tho printer. It was urged' that tho em ployment of such an assistant would mako it unnecessary for tho houso lo appropriate $1,000 or more at the ond of tho sessloa for tho chief clerk to complete his record. Bovcrul fusion members thought a dupllcato copy should bo prepared for each repre sentative and a debate at onco ensued.

"If n mon'a going to stcnl anything, does It mako any dlffercnco to him wbcro, when or how ho, tfooH It?" nuked Mr. Armstrong, and for, a mlnuto Mr. Taylor paused.

SENATE SEATS FUSIONISTS Co ninilttee Tteport Adopted After n I.nnK HnrniiRiie b- Itnniiom of Doiiftlns, LINCOLN, Jan. 10 (Spoclal.) In tho son- nto this morning tho commlttco on prlvl leges nnd elections presented Its report. As soon ns It was read Ransom of Douglas bo gan a haranguo that brought down on him tho unreserved censuro of every mnn who heard It. It was violently abusive of Ed ward Itnsewater, tho speaker apparently bolng unnblo to find languago In which to vent his venomous splcon against tho cltl zen ho was attacking. Itansom was soundly rebuked by several senators for his re marks. Tho report of tho committee on privileges nnd elections recommended seating the lit slon members from Douglas, notwlthstand Ing tho fact that thcro was cvldcnco o much fraud In tho South Omaha precincts tho commlttco feeling that tho cvldcnco was not of such n naturo as would warrant it In finding otherwise. Having in mind however, tho high-handed manner In which a similar committee named by tho fusion legislature four years ago conducted its contest proceedings, tho present commit teo stated In Its report that It did not Ue slro to fpllow tho bad precendent catab llshed then. It was upon the Insertion o this clause In tho report that Senator Ransom pretended to take exception to, his real reason being learned soon after ho begnu bis speech, In which ho confined him self to a pcrsopal tirade against tho editor oi me neo in particular, anil tne commit tee which bad made the report in general Ho excused the Irregularities in the "regis tratlon and voting In South Omaha by say Ing that tho peoplo of that city were mostly outcners ana packing houso employes, an wero Ignorant, and that nothing bettc could bo expected of them. He also gave a viva description of the; "red light" dis trlct of Omaha, and told how the "gambling houses and other vices were run In a wide onen manner. This condition of affairs was all charged to Mr. Rosewater, notwlth standing the fact that Douglas county has a fusion county attorney who is supposed to look after such thlnfcs. In speaking of tho Evans contest of four years ago, Sena tor Hansom stated that ho bellovcd Senator Evans was fairly elected and should hav been seated, but ho did not explain why he, thus believing, sat Bllently by and dl not vote In favor of seating his much wronged colleague. In regard to that contest the scnato from Douglas so generously seated by tho committee he was arraigning took occasion to throw bouquets nt himself by saying that ho protested against the unseating of Senator Evans and by adding that bo did not vote to unseat him, which later brought forth tho remark by Senator Steele that thy only reason Senator Han som did not voto with his party on that occasion was becauso they had votes enough to accomplish their purposo with out his assistance. Itelinken for llanaont. During the course of the abustvo tirade by the senator from Douglas Senator Har lan arose and informed him that Mr. Rose- water was not on trial and that Inasmuch as tho subject being discussed by Senator Ransom had not been considered by the contest commlttco he thought the remarks were out of order and uncalled for and ho was of tho opinion that the contestces should bo tho last ones to take exceptions to tho report of tho contest committee. Tho rerort had been adopted by an unani mous voto of this committee and had been Igned by tho fusion ns well as tho repub lican members of tho committee. Following Senator Ransom camo tho re publican member from Douglas, Senator naldrlge, who stated that ho was not sur prised that his collenguc had taken ad- antnge of this tlmo and placo to wash his dirty linen. Ho remembered how a few years ago Ransom lost no opportunity to laud tho republican party nnd that It was always pure so long as ho was within Its fold. "Tho statements of Senator Ransom wcro at random," said Senator naldrlge, "and his attacks upon tho republican party of Douglas county and Its private citizens wcro entirely uncalled for." Senator Steelo of Jefferson said Ransom ought not to tako exceptions to tlio report of tho committee. In referring to tho re port of a similar committee of four years ago, tho senator from Jefferson said Its work was so black and damnable that even Frank Ransom wouldn't vote for It. Ho thought the report Just presented should bo ten times nn stinging. Senator Martin said ho wanted to tako exception to Ransom taking advantage" of his position as a senator to nlr bis griev ances nnd his desire to tell about tho vices of Omaha. The knowledge bo displayed of these dens could only be explained by a personal Investigation and Senator Martin thought it would bo a good Idea to quar antine such a man. "Tho blackest page in tho political his tory of Nebraska was written four years ago," Bald the senator from Rlchnrdson, "nnd I do not wonder that Ransom Is ten der on tho subject." The contest between Senator Ransom and Mr. Rosewater should bo settled outsldo the senate, nnd the. sneaker hoDcd that hereafter this body would not be compelled to sit and llston to a personal tirade against the editor of Tho Deo or nny other citizen of Nebraska. At tho close of Senator Martin's re marks tho scnato took a recess until 3 p. m.. when discussion along the same lino was resumed. Clinlrninn Young's Ileinnrks. Tho first speaker nt tho afternoon ses slon was Senator Young of Stnnton, tho chairman of tho committee whose report was being discussed. As chairman of I ho committee. Senator Young said it was hln duty to defend tho report. Ho cited the fact that tho commlttco had endeavored to act fairly In all Its dealings, and for tho purposo of avoiding censuro Senator Olcson had been replaced by Senator Mar tin upon tho committee. "Senator Ran som knows full well," said Senator Young, "that tho charges ho dwells updn never camo beforo tho committee nnd the charges wcro not made In good faith. It Isn't tho wording of this report that calls forth such lancuago from Senator Ransom, but It Is tho opportunity to tiro rnndom shots at Mn Rosowatcr, which, I bcllovo bad as lit tlo effect unon tho naileries as they did unon tho senators upon tho floor. Why did ho not have tho moral courage to voto for Senator Evans. Instead of waiting four venrs nnd then telling how ho thinks that gentleman was wronged?" Sonntor Young dofended tho Intelligence of tho peoplo of South Omaha In nn eloquent manner. Ho did not think this tho tlmo or placo to as sail tho integrity of n citizen who was not here to dentend himself. It was a cownrdly nnd vicious attack nnd tho tlmo was nt hand when n halt should bo called to such work. "Aro wo to bo compelled to sit and listen to nbuso upon Mr. Rosewater, a man who, during tho past thirty yenrs, has Drobablv dono more for tho stnto than any other man?" snld the speaker. "Such talk has only Increased my kindly feeling for Mr. Rosowatcr." Ho thought tho report was in no senso too strong and that it should be adopted. Iteport Kinnlly Adopted. Senator Olcson nlso. mado some telling remarks in favor of tho adoption of tho re port, which after somo discussion on points of order, was adopted, every senator voting ayo .except Ransom, Llddoll and I'ltnoy, who did not vote. Following Is tho text of Mr. rrcsldent: Tho scnato commlttco on privileges und eleetlniiH. hnvtnir under con sideration tho mntter of tho cortest of John Shullz, contestant, against John Llddoll, contcsteo.,atid tho mntter of tho contest of Albert J.

A sample of n voting booth used In snld nreelncts was introduced In nvlilxnpn. whleli was admitted to bo like others used. The?o booms appear to no constructed from cast away lumber, put together In the moit crude nnd careless manner, and afford not tho slightest protection to the voter who desires to cast a secret ballot, The only manner In which tho contestants could vho seuted would be by finding that the entire vcte of certain precincts should be thrown out on account of fraud: nnd from n care ful consideration of nil the evidence before un we cannot conscientiously make such a finding. Wn therefore recommend that tho case oi tne contestants ne dismissed, ana inni tne mcumoenis retain ineir seats. V. W. YOUNO, Chairman; N. V. HARLAN. FRANCIS' MARTIN. FRANK CAMI'UHLI,. J. A.
