The resolution providing for the adminaion of KelloKa will bo reported from the committee on privileges and elections immediately im-mediately niter the reading of the journal on Monday, whon it will take ite place ou the calendar to come up under the rulea of the seuato at the uaxt day's session, uulesn unfinished business equally privileged, shall then be pending. As anon aa this report is submitted or at least at the expiration of tbe morning hour tbe debate will be resumed ou Tburman's motion to discharge the committee from Bullet 'a credentials, and if possible republi cans will prevent final action upon it by continuing tbe discussion through out Mouday'a session. If thus thrown ver Tburman's resolution will not come upucnia q ruuular order until the expiration of Tuesday's morning hour and during that morning hour tha Kellogg itaulutioo will necessaiily be reachpd under the rulea aa the first privileged buBineea upon tho oateudar. It is arranged altjo that in the eveat th&t the adoption of Tburman's Tbur-man's resolution cannot be prevented on Monday, the point of order will be immediately rained that the credentials creden-tials must lie over for one day, under a siDglo objection to present consideration consider-ation ot thn report of a committee just made. There are, however, aeveral weak points .in all these rtrrangemeuta. In the firit plane, it is not absolutely certain that Couover'a vote, although in a general way pledged for Kellogg, will be cast for him, unless Butler'a case be previously' acted ou. Secondly, there is still a poea'bility that Matthews and perbapa one or two other republicans besides Conovor ad Patterson muy not vole tor Kellogg's admission, and moreover the majority of the senate can set aside any business before that body and take up another matter that has been on tbe calendar one day. In addition to dilatory motions and talking againBt time republicans have etill another means of delaying action while waiting for recruits to refrain re-frain from voting and thus break tbe senate's quorum. This resource, however, cannot long be relied upon, for tbe democrats can muster thirty-four thirty-four acknowledged members of their i party in tbe senate, who together with Dvia, PatterBon and Conover, wouid cooalitute a domocratio quorum ot the Benate now organized, there being only seventy-three senators and three Beats vacant. Senator Sharon's presence- hero is of urgent importance and in Beveral respects of absolute necessity to hiB party in tbe present cricia. There is good reason to believe that bis vote if speedily available, may be 80 utilized aa to fill all three coo tested seats with republicans. Oo the other haud it is highly probable that unless be arrives very aoon tbe democrats will have gained ail these Beats, and thereby be in fixed control of the senate, and it ia not only probable but perfectly certain cer-tain that even in the event of the immediate admission of Kellogg the two other contested, .teats cannot be saved from the occupancy of democrats demo-crats without the additional vote of Sharon. Toe Washington Uniou today to-day comments upon Sharon's absence with great severity and says if bt will not attend to bis senatorial duties be should be expelled for nou-attendance. |
