Mr. Grosvenor furnished the text for a very vigorous speech by Bourse Cockran by the reading of a letter from Judge Pardee of New Orleans declaring that politics was at the bottom of the impeachment proceedings. The fact of w Judge transmitting such a letter Mr. Cockran declared dramatically, waa "a monstrous spectacle. Mr. Groevenor asserted 'that there was no ground presented for Impeachment In the report of tho committee. The other defenders of the Florida Judge during the day were Messrs. Lacy (Fnwa), Ncvln (Ohio), Moon (Pa.), and Crnmpacker (Ind.). Mr. Lamar of Florida, closed the debate for the day, reviewing this sentiment of his state and the record of Judge Swayne. He declared there was amplo ground for Impeachment.

In conclusion ha moved an adjournment until Saturday afternoon at which time he said, counsel would like to apeak on tha constnirthm of tbe statute under which the assembly Is proceeding. Attorney Waldron, appearing for Governor Peabody, said he wished to be understood as not opposing any reasonable request, of Governor Adams. He argued, however, that the circumstances required no written pleading and while he waa unwilling to ebarga the contestee with any deliberate intention to delay the proceedings he waa clearly of the opinion that any extension of time granted would result In dolsr and prove fatal to the cause for which the joint session should be called. Attorney Waldron maintained that all that waa necessary was for the Governor to arise and say he denied the truth of every charge made in the contact papers. Ho concluded by affirming that any extension of time would redound to the disadvantage of his client and asked the legislative body to deny for an extension. At tbe conclusion of Attorney Waldron's remarka. Senator Hill, Democrat, moved that tbe request of counsel for Governor Adams be granted. Represents tive Griffith interposed with an objection, but on the advice of Senator Owen offered an amendment to Hill's motion that the request be granted and that tbe Joint session st once proceed with the contest itself. At this point Governor Adam expressed bis disapproval of the proposition to proceed with the contest pending his answer. Both Govenor Adams and bia attorney protested vigorously against Immediate action by the legislature, asserting that tbe proceedings would necessitate bia presence and that of his counsel and accordingly precluded proper and thorough investigation of the charge Ales against him and a satisfactory answer thereto. Mr. Adams forcibly expressed hla disapproval ef the charge of lieing a usurper which had been filed again-- t him, and asked for sufficient time for hla attorneys tu aiKwer categorically, as far a possible, every charge made against him.
