Hopkins and party feuds stall Illinois House
In the General Assembly the Hopkins senatorial contest and Tippitt Browne split divide the House. Only one ballot for senator was taken, showing Hopkins 75, Foss 19, Stringer 65, Harrison 10 and others. The Tippitt Browne feud blocks committee appointments and recounts, with Deneen Busse split hampering action. A joint-session pledge to Hopkins circulates, while a proposed contest resolution stalls.
