ted toathe Honse the debate shob1d go
on forever, without resorting to the
prevloas question::
Mr.. Dennis said he and his friends
had been clearly absolved from any
obligation to extend the time for
discussion by the deliberate an
nouncement made by the opposi-
ton that they would allow no vote
to be taken until variety Of other
questions have been decided. He
was still, however, willing to extend
courtesies to the opposition.
Mr.. Callen was surprised, and
announced the purpose of the mi
nority to remain here in committee
great while.
For an hour no progress was
made, but motion to report to the
House, and ask leave to sit again,
prevailed. and the Speaker resumed
the chair. Dilatory matters fol-
lowed, cutting off members from a
recess for supper, and occupying
time until three o'clock, when Mr..
Coekerill proposed that all diiatory
motions be set aside, and discussion
continued to night, and the vote to
be had at nine o'clock to morrow
morning: 1. On Dodd's amend
ment; 2. On indefinite postpone
ment; 8. On the light of Mr..
Blakeslee to a seat; 4. On the reso-
luton itself, ratifying the Fifteenth
Amendment.
There was a temporary lull, to
consider this proposition, resulting
in lis rejection by the Republicans.
Another motion to adjourn was
voted down, and Mr.. Dodds moved
a substitute for the resolution, to
refer the question to the popular
vote.
Mr.. Bradbury moved the previous
question, which was sustained by Il
strict party vote. Yeas, 81; Nays,
55: Mr.. Hambleton voting in the
negative.
At this stage Of the proceedings,
Mr.. Cockerill moved that the Clerk
be instructed to omit the name of
Mr.. Blakeslee from the roll call,
which was decided by the Chair out
of order, the case being in the
hands Of a Committee of this House.
The vote on Mr.. Dodd's aIend-
ment stood Yeas, 55; Nays, 57-a
strict party vote, Mr.. Hambleton
voting in the affirmative, and Mes
srs. Bates, Cunningham, Hill and
Kleinschmidt with the other Repub
licans in the negative-1he other
Reformers in the affirmative.
At this stage Hughes of Highland
created momentary excitement by
again attempting to get discussion
on Blakelee's right to vote, and
some delay was experienced in get
ting to the roll call on the adoption
of the resolution.
Intense interest was manifested
in the galleries, lobbies, and on the
floor Of the House while tile call
proceeded. 1t resulted yeas ST.

| Before the voting commenced
Mr.. Dodd asked to be excused from
voting, because Mr.. Blakeslee was
permitted to vote. Cries of ''agr
eed'' sounded from all sides. After
the call, cries of ''call Doda's vote,' u
"Dodds," came up from the Demo
cratic side. and that gentleman con
sented to vote, explaining that he
would sign protest to be placed
on the journal when the vote was
concluded. A scene ensued, unpar
alleled by anything ever before wit
messed in the hall. Peals Of cheers
rang from the galleries, and were
echoed from the crowd on the floor,
followed by screams, Kisses and
cat-calls. in which it was impossible
for the House to proceed with its
business.
Mr.. Cockerill wanted the name oil
Mr.. Blaheslee to be stricken from
the roll call of the House.
Amid great confusion the House
adjourned.

publicans to afford an opportunity
for discussion this evening, had not
