But want TO say word 10 my friend from North

sir the senator from New Hampshire knows that the

by Tue mover except by unanimous consent In looking
al decision WHICH has recently been made under the
rules, the Chair finds that he has decided that although
the Yeas and nays had been ordered By leave of The
Senate they might be Withdrawn without requiring the
vote TO be unanimous.
Mr. CASS. The objection Is withdrawn, and the
question 10 on the bill
