buildings.
Braggs, of Wisconsin, Holman, of Ind
ana, and Cox, of New York, opposed thes
bills, but with no success, which led tn
latter TO remark We are digging our ow
graves and building tombstones owe
them"
Cox characterized the process of passing
these bills as individual log-rOling whil
Bragg, in acting MS teller, jocosely desi
mated each member as he voted for publ
/ buildings as "Court-house at Peoria,
"Post-otce at Marquette, " "Mint.at Nevadi
City," etc. The next bill on which suspen
/ sion of rules was asked was for the erection
Ofa public building at Galveston, TO cos
$4,000. 1t was opposed by Bragg, who
fought it at every step, and was only passed
by a vote of the speaker, who cast his vote
in affirmative. Adjourned.
