Analysis of the Vote by which II was
P1ssed Over the Veto.

The l;st of v,os and navs nm III. f,n,, ,as.
SAGE nj the River and Harbor hill shows that
there was n larper number of Democrats in
favor OF the bill in the Senate than of Re.
publ,caps. and of the 16 negative votes l2
were furnished NV the Republicons and by
the Indanendent nrcsidiny officer In the
nouse considerably larOer number Of Rcpu, ,
,icans than of Democrats were present and
voting. and they furnished the larger part
both of the affirmative and the negative vote.
The Republicans and their independent allies
were so divided ON this measure that the
Democrats could easily have defeated it IL
they had tried or had wished to do so, They
made no such attempt, and the political re-
sponsibility for the swindle is divided.
An analysis of the vote by States yields
the following facts All the votes Of Blaine
New Hampshire, and Vermont that were cas-
were against the bill and in support of the
veto. Massachusetts, strange to say, furnished
but ,vo ,ooa,;v. voice tho,o of Ronrasan,..
