GAME TWO CAN PLAY.

Democratic Senators Warn the Republicans That They Must Go Slow.

Wednesday's session of the State Senate was a lively one. The Democrats served notice on the Republicans that unseating members of the Legislature was a game two could play.

The wrangle arose over the motion of Mr. Goebel to postpone consideration of a resolution calling for a joint session to elect a Librarian January 23rd. Mr. Goebel wanted to postpone consideration until February 2nd. The President ruled the motion out of order. The majority carried an appeal from the decision of the chair. Mr. Bronston made a speech full of fire, saying if the House majority unseated Democrats the Senate majority would meet the Republicans with the same methods.

Mr. DeBoe, by consent, asked Goebel "What is the object of your motion to postpone the consideration of a resolution until a day after the date prescribed by law to elect a Librarian." Mr. Goebel replied with much feeling. "I will be honest with the gentleman. We do not intend that a Librarian or United States Senator shall crawl into office through the grave of Isaac Wilson."

Several bills were introduced in the Senate, one providing a heavy penalty for pool selling and bookmaking, and one providing strict regulations for conducting street car systems. Mr. Ellison introduced one to provide for free turnpikes and gravel roads and Mr. Bennet, one providing for property rights of married women.

The Governor sent in the appointment of Dr. Scott and Mr. Cardwell to be Superintendent and Steward respectively of the Lexington asylum, and Dr. Letcher to be Superintendent of the Western asylum and J. W. Postell to be Steward of the same. Postell is the colored man whom the Chairman of the Republican County Committee of Christian County declined to indorse.

In the House Barnett, of Ohio, offered a resolution expressing the sympathy of the State with Cuban patriots, and instructing the Kentucky delegation in Congress to do all in their power to secure recognition of the patriots by this Government.

Carroll (Dem.) of Louisville, set partisan politics boiling by offering a resolution calling attention to the uncertainty as to the financial and other political views held by Dr. Hunter, the Republican nominee for Senator, and closed by inviting Dr. Hunter to air his views on these important questions on the floor of the House. Lyons (Rep.) of Newport, came forward with his usual motion to table, and this was carried by a straight party vote.

Miss Emma Guy, of Bowling Green, was nominated by the joint Democratic caucus for State Librarian. She has been promised the support of the two Populist members. Mrs. Day withdrew in the interest of Miss Guy.

About half a dozen bills providing for free turnpikes have already been introduced.

A bill is pending to abolish the office of Assessor.

Among the bills introduced is one to prescribe the duties of Commonwealth's Attorneys and to provide payment for same.

Mr. Hiles has introduced a bill providing pay for the arrest of a murderer in Bracken County.

Speaker Blanford, in obedience to the power controlling him, has at last issued his writ for a special election in Nelson County, to be held February 1. By that time the Republicans hope that they will have elected a United States Senator.
