Mr.. vICKERs, (dem) of Nd, followed in opposition
10 the bill, as outrageous and unprincipled. He

Mr. BAYARD, tdem.) OF Del, took similar ground
IN lengthy speech against the bill, regarding 1t as
especially designed To further political purpose.
He argued to show the unconshLutiOnallty Of the
provision for an examination OF certificates issued
subsequent TO July 4, 1885, giving courts OF one
state power TO examine In and override acts of a
court OF another State. He thought 1t more fair To
have declared all such certificates once nun and

AL haIf-past five O'Clock an understanding was
effected that the bill should he postponed till Satur.
day next, upon the condition Of being then finally
disposed OF.
