In opening the meeting the President made the following explanation of his absence at the last meeting: 'ifeel that I ought to' gratify the curiosity of you fellows about my whereabouts last Saturday night, though 1 do not admit that it is any of your business. I am free, white and 21 and like the wind and the assessor I go where I list. I was away from the last meeting because I was engaged in other business, having been requested to take part in the opening of a few bottles of water with a penitent party who had a load on his conscience.

I took his confession, which proved to be bo long that I failed to got away in time fortho Club meeting. But I understand the Vice President presided with case and dignity and that the meeting got along very well without me. We will now proceed to business." While Col. Howell was talking there toas some confusion back near the. door that finally increased until it became boisterous.

The petition of Dr.

R. C. Hardwick was presented and on motion "of Coi. Frlink Waller the rules yefe suspended and he was admitted without having his application referred to a committee. This is a verjr distinguished hnnnr nnd one that is seldom con ferred.

Col. Hardwick was so much gratified at the special courtesy showu him that ho presented each member of the Club with a samplo, dose of a very excellent brand of pills he is selling at his drug store. Col. y. T.

Bonte moved that a telegram of thanks be sent to President Cleveland for the recognition shown to bald headed men in the appointment of his Venezuelan Commission. A paper containing their pictures -Was shown and it was seen that three out of the five were bald. "Messrs. Brewer, Alvey and Coudert, taken ajtoghter," he said, "did not have hair enough to spiko a pound of butter, while the other two, Whito and Gilman, have more hair on their faces than on their head Geo. said this was unfortunate, as he had heard that thp wind blows very strong at times in tho mountains of Veuezuela, tlloy will be expected to go.

Col. Joe Twyman said tho President perhaps, thought a majority at least of the commission ought to be CLEAR HEADED men. Col. Bill Cooper called, for tho ayos and noes on Col. Twyman's Jittlo pun and it was voted down.

When the vote was taken an Col. Bonte'8 notion it was carried by a big majority and Col. Burch Bassett claimed tho honer and privilege of the telegeam at his own expense. Col, Davo Wiley fiaid ho wanted to laya little matter of a personal nature before the Club. He had every reason to believe that Bradley would ask him to accept the position of Steward at the Asylum and he wanted to ask the members present if they thought he ought to accept the Col.

Buck Leavoll advised im to wait until tho goods were delivered before making his arrangements to move, "Gov.

Clerk of the old House and Assistant of tho hew Senate, called the House to order The election of the various officials from Speaker to pages required butyone ballot each," and was done Jby a strictly party vote.

Rev. George Darsie prajed that all tho members might return home with clean hands and pure hearts. The first roll call showed as absent. Mr. Wilson, the Bick member, who at the Capital Hotel.

Messrs. Blanford and Carroll stood together and took tho oath. It was while Mr. Carroll was taking the oath that tho first sensation of the session occurred. Mr.

Howard, of Butler caunty, asked him under which election he intended to qualify. With quiet contempt, Mr. Carroll turned to 'the questioner, waived the fact that ho had no right to raise such a question, and then said, as a matter of course he qualified under the special election of December 7, "But," he added "if tho Houso will give me the right to voto twice on all questions, I will qualify under both." A wild scene of cheering ensued, and it was with difficulty that the Clerk restored order and overruled, tho objections of 61r. Howard, who sat down evidently wilted. Mr.

Arnett objected to Mr. Pence, of Covington, taking the oath, because of the latter's age. Air. Carroll mado the point that tho objection was out of order, and was sustained by the chair. The vote for Speaker was watched to see how the Populists would vote.

Mr. Edrington voted for Mr. Blanford. Mr. Poor voted for Blanford also.

They will get on good committees. Mr. Carroll and Mr. Blanford voted for one another. John H.

Johns did not vote. Mr. Carroll, Mr. Gnder and Mr. conducted Mr.

Blanford to the chair, ana Mr. uarron intro duced Mr. Blanford, who made a short, dignified speech of thanks. Tho election of other officers was without special incident. Edrington divided his votes, between the Republican and Democratic uomineos, out Poof voted for the Republicans throughout.

The House finished the organization a little after 3 o'clock and adjourned. The House adjourned uutih Thursday in honor of the birthday of Gen. "Hickory" Jackson. IN THE SENATE. The Senate was called to order i ll.

Goe bel and other good lawyers declared to bo entirely unnecessary, took the oath again. Upon Mr. Goobol's motion tho organization of the Senate was next in order. All tho Democratic caucus nominees went through by a strict party vote. A hitch arose when an attempt was made to elect a President pro the point of of order being made that suoh precedence was not in order until all tho Senate officers had been chosen.

Tho position of Enrolling uiern was unnnoa, ana tno point was sustained. Then the Senate after remaining in session fifty -live minutes, adjourned until noon to-morrow. THE LITTLE WIDOW WON. Fsankfobt, Jan. 7.

Tho Son-ate Democratic to-night disposed of the deadlock over tho nomination for Enrolling Clerk, by selecting Mrs. Emma -Walker Herr, Mrs. F. B. Richardson The Republican.ioint Mrs.

Georgia A. Shelton for State Librarian, after three ballots. It is said to be tho purpose of the Democratic Senate Steering Committee to deprive the Lieutenant Gov. of tho power to appoint tho committees for that body. A conference between the committeemen and Liout.

Gov. Worthington was held this evening, and it is possible some concessions by the latter may cause the- plan to bo abandoned, the compromise se curing to tho Democrats somo desirable places.
