THE REvoLUTIoNIsTs SURRENDER.
Mr.. Mcmahon of Ohio was then recog-
nized by the speaker, and presented q reso-
luton that the senate be requested to meet
the house to- day at 1 o'clock. Mr.. Nc
Mahon was very evidently agitated. His
RaRaase tre eRmae 6ane hhHde q the democratic
seats were vacant. Mr.. Mcmahon had
modified his caucus motion of last night,
| so that the joint convention should assem-
BILE to-day st o'clock instead of Monday
This, of itself, indicated thar the revolu-
tionists had lost courage. The republicans
moved an amendment that the joint con-
vention should
AT ONCE ASSEMBLE
The filibusters were mauifestly defeat
ed on this motion on rising vote, but the
obstructicnists were strong enough to force
roll call. Pending that, the opportunity
was afforded the democrats to arrive. 1t
was noticed that the absentees were mainly
southern democrats. 1t was believed they
had remained away to allow the republi-
cans to carry their point.
WATERLOO DEFEAT OF THE REvOLUTIoNISTs.
The revolutionlsts were Overwhelmingly
defeated on their first motion, the house
by vote of 145 yeas to 81 nays agreeing
to the republican amendment that the
joint convention at once assemble. The
democrats then insisted on another roll
call upon the amended proposition. This
second roll call was forced by the obstruc.
tionists for delay in order that their ranks
might be recruited. But it is impossible
for the revolutionists to now succeed un-
less So conservative democrats shall change
their votes. 1t is almost certain, therefore,
that the Joint convention will go on to-day
at o'clock p. m. The democratic con.
spirators will be defeated in their first revo-
lutionary mUse.
THE STRENGTH OF THE FILIBUsTERs.
On the second vote the moderate men
gained. the vote standing ayes 1913, nays 81,
in favor of holding the joint convention
Immediately. The fihbusters did not lose
or gain vote. If the flllbustering strength
can be kept at 81 serious results may fol-
low, as that number has power of almost
indefinite delay.
oLYMER HEADS THE FILIBUsrERs-HAN-
COOK THE MoDRRATEs.
After the joint convention had retired
Clymer of Pennsylvania moved recess un-
til 10 o'clock Monday, whereupon Mr..
Hancock of Texas, (democrat) raised the
point of order that recess could not be
taken, he thus putting himself ut the head
of the moderate democrats. This is the
first indication of an organized break from
the filibusters under a recognized leader.
THE RECESS MOVE DEFEATED.
On the motion to take recess until
Monday, the vote stood 1853 nays 10 liz
ayes.
RANDALL DESERTS THE FILIBUsTERs-THE
DEBATE ON OREGON PROCEEDS.
Directly on the announcement of this
vote Mr.. Lane of Oregon made the fill
clustering motion that recess be taken
until $3.50 o'clock Monday. Speaker Ran
dali in the utmost silence of the house |
ruled that the motion was dllatory. Tho |
speaker said "Where the constitution of |
the United States directs anything TO be |
done, and where law under the constltu-
ton directs any thing TO be done, 1t Is not |
in order to do anything to prevent it," This |
was the death blow to the filibustering.
Speaker Randall had been expected to rule
with the revolutionlsts, but he ruled against
them in the midst of republican applause.
Randall will necessarily stand by this rul-
ing throughout. II he does the scheme of
revolution 10 ended. The two hours debate
ON the Oregon objection then proceeded |
