Representative Bynum Thinks There Wiil Be No Effort to Contest It. The Indiana democrats have no fear that Mr. Turple will be deprived of bis seat tn the Senate, or that he will be annoyed much when he appears to take possession of it. Representative Bynum Sald to a Sar reporter last night that he had no idea the republican Senators would attempt to go behind the certificate of election, but tf they did, and investigated the vote, they couid not possibly change the result. There could be no question as tothe right and propriety of the democrats turn- ing McDonald out for bribery. Their putting a democrat in his place instead of declariig the Place vacant might be brougut into question, but if the vote of this democrat were excluded Turpte would still have a majority of one, ‘The fact of democrat or republican presiing as ileutenant gov- ernorcould not affect the result, as the Heutenant governor had no right to vote under any circum. stanoes. Granting ‘them that the republican Meutenant governor was entitled to hiselection and that the democrat put in the place of McDonald Was not entitled to his seat, suli they could not question Mr. Turple’s election. But, he said, 1t has always been held that the Senate bad no right to question the returns from the legislature as \o the election of a Seaator, Mat. Carpenter had so held im a report on the subject. It ts not generally known, but Mr. Bynum wrote the rules tat were adopted in the legislature that elected Mr. Turple, and they were drawn up so asto provide against stich contingency as a r-publican jeutenant-governor presiding and ay attempt to turn out democratic assembiymen whose seats were contested, ‘They provided that the presiding officer must the first thing call on the committee ou elections, and that the chairman of that com- mittee should then have control of the floor unttl he had disposed of the matters he desired to cali up. This gave the democrats control of the floor before anything In the way of settling te cases of contested seats could be up, and put it beyond the power of the repubilcans to deteat Turple, even ‘With thelr lteutenant-governor presiding.
