The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-05-10

House, during the reading of yesterdays
journal Mr.. Brunner called attention to the
fact that he voted nay on Mr.,Swan's Senate
bill in relation to public prin ting, while the
Clerk had him recorded as having voted
aye. As the bill received but ifty-six votes,
this was at once seen to be an i'm
portant thing. The Speaker ex-
would have defeated the bill; now it had
gone to the Senate it would be dangerous
precedent to make this change without ex-
animation. The Chair appointed Messrs.
Carnahan, Beach and Seifert as Investiga-
ting Committee. A number of local bills
were passed allowing various places to bor-
row money, and each containing a clause
added on motion of MIR. McLain that the
measure should be submitted to the vote of
the people of the locality. The committee
on Brunner's vote reported that the evidence
was conclusive that ne had voted nay on Mr.
Swans printing bill, and therefore the
record was wrong, and said bill lacked one
vote of a constitutional majority. Mr..
johnson called attention to the fact that
he had voted for the bill, but was on
record as having voted against it. After
some discussion, the Speaker appointed the
same committee to investigate this case, and
at length reported that Mr.. johnson had
voted for the legal advertising bill, so it
passed, despite Mr.. Brunner's no. The
House finally concurred in the report of the
conference committee on appropriation bill,
yeas, 81; nays, AZ. Mr.. Howland's bill, di-
recting the Board of Public Works to selltw
hundred acres of land belonging to the State,
in Union County. was passed. Mr.. Guth-
rie's House bill, giving Marshals on or near
county lines power to serve process in both
counties, was passed.
Adjourned.
