W~ W"" ; LEGISLATORS IN TDKHOIL ^ Oay of Great Excitement in Kentucky's j State House. ! CM ED MEN GUARD THE DOOR. Blood %Va? Nearly Shed In the Contest at Frankfort for United States Senatorship?Republican Representatives Unseat a Democrat and Democratic Senators Onst Two Republicans. Frankfort, Ky., March 12.?The attempt to elect a United States Senator came near resulting' in bloodshed. As it was it led to extraordinary measures in both the Republican House and the Democratic Senate, and the joint session was converted into a disturbed assemblage, no attention being paid to the forms of law or parliamentary prao tice. V The unseating of Kaufman, Democrat, in i the House, promptly followed by the unseating of Walton and James, Republicans, in the Senate, created the most intense excite- , ment of the present turbulent session of the Legislature. Crowds of angry and excited . men surrounded the halls of both branches, ( and bloodshed was several times threatened, j When the House convened, in order to . stave off the Thorne Distillers' bill, those opposed to it demanded the consideration of j the Dunlap-Kuufman contest case as privileged matter. The vote was taken on the minority report s In favor of unseating Kaufman. It was ? adopted by a vote of 49 to 46. The final vote was then ordered on the majority report, as r amenJed by this minority unseating report. \ All the Democrats left the House. The la- t dies withdrew from the lobbies. Mr. Poor, j Populist, staid in and fifty-one members x were present. Mr. Kaufman was unseated, f The wildest excitement prevailed all over t the State House within a minute. Senators t huddled together in the middle of the Senate Chamber, while a mob crowded every entrance. The mob declared that Jame3 and "Walton should not go in. Several men with pistols stood at the door daring Republicans * to attempt to brint; them in. f The scene in the Senate immediately after ? the unseating of Kaufman and whileJames j and Walton were being unseated was riotous. The Lieutenant-Governor ignored the Clerk putting motions. He broke his gavel and ^ left his chair. The Democratic Senators ' shouted their votes like commanding officers * giving orders in battle. ' J Senator Holloway left the chamber and 1 threatened by his manner every Democrat who tried to make him go back. When the S Clerk announced the result of the vote on S the motion to unseat, Senators rushed to the c House door and the crowd roared like a 1 mob. The real danger was that an attempt r would be made to take James from the { House, into which he had slipped while being unseated, ttepromisuu ui? w nuum . not try to vote until a further settlement of , the matter. , Any attempt of Walton to force his way in j would undoubtedly have caused bloodshed. Dunlap refused to qualify. Senator Blackburn was in the crowd coun- { seling coolness. The crowd was furious 1 when it learned that James had already slipped into the House, and had done so c while he was being unseated in the Senate. ( Dunlap approached the door, but was waved I back. JSpealerBlapford, of the House, refused to j recognize the Senate, hoping that Dunlap h y would come in, but at 12:11 Lleutenant-Gov- 3 / ?rnor Worthington took the gavel from t r Speaker Blanford almost by force and called 3 / thf joint session to order. c The Chair ruled that the Democratic E Senate Clerk should call the Senate roll and the House Clerk the House rolL The roll * call was then begnn, the Republicans refraining from voting. There was a whisper that the Republicans misht at the last mo- * ment vote for Carlisle. c Eight or ten Democrats voted for Carlisle. The vote stood: Blackburn, 54; Carlisle, 10; I Buckner, 1. The Chair announced no quorum n voting. The session adjourned. The doors r were thrown open and the members filed out t and mingled with the crowd, all seemingly & in a good humor. 7 As Dunlap will not qualify as Kaufman's c successor, the joint session vote is again a tie.
