Grounds for the Contention That He Was Legally Elected by the Delaware Legislature, Senator Mitchell of Oregon, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, today presented in the Senate the views of the majority of that committee favoring the seating of Mr. DuPont as Senator from Delaware, in a pamphlet covering more than fifty pages of print. The report begins with an account of the proceedings of the Delaware legislature on the 9th of last May, when it is claimed that Mr. DuPont was elected. Jt shows that in joint assembly the legislature of that state numbers thirty members, sixteen of whom constitute a majority, and that at the ume of the alleged election William T. Watson, who had been elected a member of the state senate and also speaker of the senate, was acting as governor of the state, leav- ing, if he was not entitled to sit as a sena- tor, twenty-nine legislators to constitute the joint assembly and making fifteen a majority. It is also shown that Mr. Du- Pont received fifteen votes. The committee concludes that: “The whole question of the right of Mr. DuPont to a seat in the Senate, as claimed, turns upon the single question: Had Mr. Watson, then holding and exercising the oflice of governor of the state of Delaware, a right under the constitution of that state and the laws of the land, to exerc office of state senator, and as such in the joint assembly on May 18s, co be counted therein in making up the number constituting such joint assembly, and to vote therein for a United States Senator?” ‘The committee say that Mr. Watson did not have this right, and lay down the fol- lowing propositions as the basis for their conclusion: It is a well-settled rule of the common law that the same person shall not exercise simultaneously two incompatible offices; the acceptance of one is ipso facto a resignation of the other. ‘2. Under the American system executive and legislative offices are incompatible, and ame person cannot exercise both si- neously in the absence of either ex- or clearly implied statutory or con- "3. There is no express or implied author- ity in the constitution of the state of Dela- ware for the simultaneous exercise by the Same person of the offices of governor and senator; on the contrary, such constitution interdicis such exercise of those “4. Whether r not the offices of state senator and speaker of the senate became absolutely vacant when Speaker Watson took the oath of office, was inaugurated x of the state, and entered upon the se of that office, there can be no ruction of the several constitutional provisions of the state of Delaware that his right to exercise the office of senator or speaker of the senate, or any of the functions connected therewith while he continued to hold and exercise the office of governor, was absolutely suspend- The theory that Mr. Watson can exer- cise the office of governor of the state and state senator simultaneously involves in- numerable constitutional repugnancies, per- plexing difficulties, and endless absurdities, while the opposite theory reconciles and harmonizes all the provisions of the Dela- ware constitution relating to the subject urder consideration. “6. That Gov. Watson’s exercise of the office of senator in the joint assembly on the 9th day of May, 1895, and of the office of president of such joint assembly was il legal, and his v. therein for United States Senator a nullity. - The committee, therefore, enunciates the declaration that “on May %, 1895, the date on which Mr. DuPont claims to heve been elected, the legislature of the state of Dela- ware consisted of but twenty-nine mem- bers; there were in the joint assembly on th te but twenty-nine members of such ture entitled to seats in such joint mbly, and entitled to be counted and vote therein, As Mr. DuPont received fif- teen voies, being a majority of the whole number entitled to be east in such joint as- sembly, and a majority of all the leg: cast therein, he was legally elected Senator from the state of Delaware for the full term, commencim® March 4, 1895, and is entitled to be seated.” The committee also takes the position that “The fact that such election is not certified by the governor of the state, in pursuance of the statute on that subject, does not in- validate such election in any respect.” Touching upon the right of the Delaware pon the qualifications of its the report concedes that this right belongs exclusively to that body, but it is contende that ee privilege does not elusive right as would in- clude the Senate of the United States to determine by constraction whether the con- stitution of the state of Delaware does or does not recognize a certain seat in the Sen- ate as subject to occupation; nor does it in- clude the power to admit members to seats not recognized by the constitution of the state as subject to occupation, or, if subject to occupation, to fill them in'a manner, or by a pergon, which the state constitution forbids.” Applying this rule, the committee, as a matter of fact, finds that the Delaware State senate never judged of the qualifica- tions of Governor Watson to a seat in the Senate, either on the 9th day of May, 1895, or at any other time subsequent to the date of his inauguration as governor. ———__+° Mr. Fairbank’s Lecture. “The Ride That Saved am Empire” was the title of ine lecture delivered in the First Congregatieral Church last Friday evening by Mr. J. W. Fairbank of Seattle, Wash. The subject was the famous Whit- man ride cf ‘42 and ‘43. As the speaker said in the beginning, it was a “series of iramatic episcdes, brilliant with strange coloring, permeated with romance.” Very few men in these days would ride 4,000 miles en Fo kK in an unusually severe winter to save a portion of ccuntry to the Union. Yet that is what Marcgs Whit- man di The lecturer was greeted with cnthusiasti jause from the begin- ning to the fin a patriotic ad- a enlivened nearly one hundred realistic views thrown on the large screen, The awlience was brought face to face with Jefferson and Monroe, Benton, Fremont and Webster and other noted men. The whole history cf the acquisition of the Oregon country was gone into. The audiet ce was taken into Napcleon’s palace at the time of the Louisiana purchase. The famous ride and the return trip with 1,000 immigrants was rcalstically portray The story of the m acre of the Whi Mission wes told, the massacre occurring but a shori time after the treaty was sign- ed with Great Britain wherchy she lost the Oregon country, which now comprises the three great es of Oregon, Idaho and Washington. The results of the ride were shown by a description of that wonderful cauntry as it now is, Uwe dozen fine views enhancing the interest of the audience. It is.an empire of 300,000 square miles, with untold wealth in ker mountains and plains. England’s grasping policy was shown up in a way that brought great applause. “The time for compromise is past,” said the speaker, and the audience said aye. The lecture may be repeated in our city at a@ later date. 5e ee Rights of Inspectors. In order to test the validity ef the ordi- nance of the corporation of Washington, Gated Jine 2, 1859, relating to the right of water irspectors to enter dwellings and other premises, Attorneys Campbell and J. McDowell Carrington have filed a petition in certiorari in the case of J. T. Clement: charged in the Pulice Court with refusing to allow Water Inspector Marsh to enter his house. The ordinance in question pro- vides a penalty of not less than $ nor mcre than $30 where any occupant or owner shall refuse admission to the water registrar, inspector and tapper of water mains or other authorized agent of the cor- pcration into his premises, when in the official discharge of his duty. Mr. Clements, it is understood, refused to allow the inspector to enter his house, because it was not convenient at the time for a stranger to do so, and his attorneys ‘will claim that if the ordinance is not repealed it does not authorize the entering of a man’s house at inconvenient or vnreasonable hours.
