nterruptlon of the roll call In Joint session
today was that arising from a misunder
standing over an ubsentoe who seemed to
havo becu paired with I wo present mem
bers, which was tamcness Itself ns com
pared with tho pyrotechnic displays pri
clpitatcd nearly every day of lato over
buncombo resolutions or political explana
tions offered by fuslonlsts looking for no
toriety. MlmM-.Trlra n Conn.
sprung on tho legislature, but It flashed
In tho pan and missed (ire. It was none
other than for- tho minority memborn to
break their pair agreements and undertake
to forco an election of their candidates by
taking ndvantago of tho republicans who
had gono homo relying on Iheao agree
ments. Yesterday telegraphic messages
were sent out of Omuha by tho World
Herald, calling on all tho fusion momburs
to bo prcsont without fail nt tho Joint bal
lot today and nearly tho whole World
Herald editorial staff camo down to super
Vino and assist In tho performance. Do
tides Mr. Hitchcock himself, tho paper was
represented by Mctcalfo, Ityan, Hunt, Rich
mond. N'owbranch and Watson to servo ab
pon artists on tho spot whllo tho coup
was played that was to break the dead
lock. Tho ttnfortunato purt of the affair
was that thoro turned out to be as many
Bbsentco fuslonlsts as republicans, nnd
If thoso present with palrB had repudiated
their ugrcemcutB they would still have been
short of tho requisite majority. Even had
thoy had moro fuslonlsts on roll call than
republicans, they would not have had
enough to ralso a call of tho house unless
they hnd tho aBslstanco of Homo of tho re
publicans, which is altogether out of tho
question.
Conference I'ruvrs a JJehate,
Tho republican conference tonight did not
develop anything, but an adjournment was
not taken until moro than an hour was
consumed In a general discussion. Tho
discussion brought out tho fact that many
divergent views existed among the members
as to tho best plans to bo pursued This
was perhaps emphasized by tho prcsenro
of n'7st of tho anti-Thompsonltes who had
walked out of tho cauciiH and announced
Ihclr refusal to be bound by any agreement
that did not bar Mr. Thompson from n
nomination.
Tho principal speech was mado by Martin,
who expressed n sentiment against any
caucus action with tho Idea that a choice
could bo reached by balloting In open ses
sion. Mr. Wilkinson explained his views
of caucus conditions nnd Sonator Young
talkod for Harmony of action. Representa
tive Fowler favored n secret ballot and
finally Hvans, one of tho seceders, got tho
floor and offered a motion to proceed at
nnco to ballot for North Tlatte senator
alone. Various amendments woro sug
Rested, ono by Mockett, to ballot for two
senators on tho plan of tho open session,
nnd in tho midst of n maze of motions an
adjournment was taken, n division being
railed for showing sixty members to bo
present. v
Xvy t'nueun Cull.
A new caucus was nrojocted today, be
Ing a modification of the Wilkinson call
of last week, providing for forty-five to
nominate, un open ballot, voting for two
at a tlmo and the one getting thn requisite
majority first running out first. Mr. Wil
klnson said tonight that he bad forty names
to his agreement. None of the Douglas
county men have yot signed It.
