In the House, Sypher was seated, by q
vote of 78 to rs. Farnsworth, who had
voted no, said he had not examined the
report, but would follow the report of
the Committee. He voted aye. Two
other doubtful men then voted ave, amid
storm of protests from the Democratic
side. Blaine sharply reproved Farms
worth for parliamentary action, in
making remarks while Announcing his
vote. The ayes and nays we're progress

81. A motion to reconsider is now pro-
gressing. which, if carried. will bring
another vote on the direct question. The
probabilities, at this moment, are rather
against Sypher. The vote to reconsider
was carried-S5 to 70. The reporters
