Mr.. Dawes called up the resolution for the
election of officers of the senate, and Mr.
Davis nl) made short speech, announcing
that the majority that chose the committee
is fairly entitled to choose officers of the SEN
ate One naturally goes with the other in order
to perfect organization This conclusion will
neither be delayed nor obstructed by any vote
of mine, and it cannot be reached too soon for
the public interest.
Mr.. Brown of Ca declared the policy of his
party to be to stay there and resist the proposed
change of officers till December, if necessary.
Hoar took him to task, declaring that this meant
treason, which was different from filibustering.
The latter was merely temporary expedient to
gain time, while Browns declaration meant
that they would never yield to the constitutional
majority.
A vote was taken and both David Davis and
Malone voted with the Republicans In fact,
Malone did SO on every occasion.
Mr.. Pendleton then moved to adjourn. The
motion unexpectedly was agreed to-yeas %,

did net vote, nor did Davis Ql) Hale voted
and was not recorded, fact which he did not
discover till after the vice president had de-
clared the senate adjourned until tomorrow.
