THE RECORD.


THE RECORD.
We have received anumber of letters from
comrades in various parts of the country ask
ing questions concerning the record of certain
Representatives on the Pension Bill, and the
vote in the House Of Representatives which
defeated the Bill. 1t would be pretty difficult
to answer all these categorically. The Bill took
several confusing shapes before the decisive
struggle was made upon it, and there was a
perfect flood of amendments let loose upon it,
most of which were only intended to kill it off,
When these were at last disposed Of there
ensued protracted struggle over the Bill
ITSELF the majority of the House flibustering
determinedly against its being brought to a
vote, and, when all other tactics failed resort
ing to the reprehensible course of leaving the
House without quorum. Of course, all those
who absented themselves, or refused to vote,
unless paired, were opposed to the passage of
the bill.
At last, on Sunday, July 6, motion was
made to postpone the further consideration of
the Bill until the second Tuesday in December.
All the friends of the Bill voted No. and all its
enemies Aye, or refrained from voting.
The vote was as follows:
AYES.
