WASHINGTON, March lS,-In the Senate
the credentials Of Frye were presented
and he took the oath Of office.
Mr., Pendeton called up the orgsniza-
ton resolution. Mr.. Anthony moved
that the resolution be indefinitely post
poned. Mr., COnkliug inquired whether

luton postponed in order that he might
offer another resolution. Mr.. Anthony
replied that 1t was. The vote was token
and resulted, yeas, 81; nays, 81, Davis,
OF Illinois, voted in the negative with the
Democrats.
When Mahone's name was reached he
also voted with the Democrats, and buzz
OF establishment ran around the assembly,
but before the announcement Of the vote,
he arose and changed his vote, amid some
applause and some vigorous kissing in the
galleries. Vance and Edmunds were
paired,
The ViCe.President then said: "The
vote OF the Senate being evenly divided,
the Chair will vote aye, and, therefore, de-
clare the motion carried"
Mr., Salisbury said heidi not rise for the
purpose OF objecting to the vote Of the
Vice.President, but to express an opinion
that in the organization OF the Senate the
Vice. President wsa not clothed by the
Constitution with power to decide ques.
tons OF this character, He simply wished
to say here and now that 1t was an assump-
ton OF power on the part OF the Vice.
President unwarranted by the Constitu.
tlon.

merely followed the preCedents, and quo.
ted q similar case which occurred In 1870.
