PASSAGE OF THE APPoRrIoSMENr BILL OVER THE
GOVERNORS VETO.
The sensation i'll both houses of the Legislature
this evening the passage of the new Congress
sonal Apportionment bill over the Governors Veto
IL was purely party measure, and as several re-
pubcans. in the lower house especially, were dis
satisfied with the bill, there was severe struggle
on the question OF passing IL Notwithstanding the
objections Of the Governor The veto was first read
in the Senate, and then it was overridden by vote
Adams, Baker and Robertson, republicans, voted
with Cock, Johnson, Lord and remann democrats,
to sustain the veto. Had Mr., Murphy and Mr..
OBrien been on hand in time to vote with their
democratic co1yreres the veto would not have been
overridden, as IT requirX twothird vote, but
they happened to be in the vestibule Of the Senate
| when the vote was being taken.
AN EXTRAORDINARY AND DisGRACEFUL SCENE
into the lower House The scene that transpircd
in the Assembly chamber when the bill was being
passed over the Governors veto was the most ex-
ture. The game Of the republicans was
roughshod over the Governors veto under the
whip and spur OF the previous question. Mr.. Prince
] desired to debate the question, and the moment
the reading Of the veto was finished he was on his
feet and cried, Mr. Speaker, in tones OF thunder
recognized Mr. Avord, who rose to move the pre-
viOus question, and thus cut on all debate. 1t seems
that the Speaker had been informed that it
was understood the previous question would be
moved at once, but that Mr. Prince desired to press
the subject, and in reply the Speaker expressed
himself as opposed to any debate and in favor of
the previous question. Prince Is younger and
more active man than Alvord. Although Alvord is
well skilled and quick In all parliamentary tactics,
Prince was ahead OF him and was up and had adj
dressed the Chair before Alvord could get upon his
feet.
The fact of the Speaker recognizing Aivord in pre-
ference TO Prince was so plainly an Intentional dis
regard OF the rights Of the members that Mr. Prince
the floor. He denounced the evident concerted
derstanding, to which the Speaker was party, to
ORDERING THE PREVIOUS QUESTION.
Mr. Alvord declared that ne had no understand
also Indignantly denied that he was party to any
such arrangement The previous question was
ordered by vote of 70 to IL. While the roll was
being called on the final passage OF the bin
there was great excitement throughout the
Assembly Chamber. II required a two-thirds vote
| 10 override the veto, and both sides were busy
drumming up men. Messengers sent in an

nounced and Mr. Moseley called out vocferonsy, re-
gnestng that Mr.. Tllden's name might be recorded

votes In the affirmative were still wanting to pass
the bill and though the absentees had been called
and the House was waiting anxiously to hear the

announce the result until two,thlrds majority
Hayes and Mr.. Badcau were found voted in affirm

amidst
SCENE OF WILD EXCITEMENT.
In explaining his vote Mr.. Prince showed the
Infamous character or the apportionment, and
he would sustain party measure. he was com
PEELED to vote in the negative on this, because the
bill was bad one, and because IL was highly
improper for the majority TO resort 10 the
Tainmany tactics of dragooning members into
question uf Without an, opportunity whatever rv
OF expressing their views on the matter. Mr..
sumed appealed to the common sense Of every one,
and spectators in the galleries could not restrain
their desire to applaud When he sat down
and simply called attention to the
manner in which this reform Legislature had passed
the bill over the Governors veto rhe Clerk he
said was half an hour making up the vote. The
Speaker disclaimed for the Clerk and himself any
