continue the consideration of the bill daily
until 6 o'clock. He had no desire, and the
democratic party had no desire, to delay the
passage of the bill. Let the party that wa:
responsible for the action of the senate pas
the bill, and if they thought night sessions
! necessary, and would give fair warning, ht
| would vote for them but he did not wish tt
be forced into such session in this way.
Mr.. Morrill,, replying to remark by Mr.
| Beck, denied that any caucus had directed
him to force q night session. In resisting ad
| iournment he was only trying to keep thu
senate in session as long as he could, in orde
| to make progress, and he would continue Il
| do this every day until the bill should hav,
been disposed of. Hcthen moved an adjourn
ment, which was agreed to, and the senate IA
