Messrs. Bragg, Jones of Alabama,
Aiken, Reed, Hall. White of Minnesota,
Eldridge, Dockery, Cox, Collins, Murphy,
Eden, and Hatch, who would have voted
in favor of the motion, were paired with
Messrs. Pierce, Burleigh, Hanback,, Van
Schaick, Bunnell, Heistand, Houk, White
of Pennsylvania, Haynes, Stevenson, Hit,
PettibOne, and Caswell, who would have
voted against it.
1t will be observed that every Democratic
member from Virginia, including Geo. d.
Wise, the alleged prOtectionist, voted for
the bill, and the two Republicans from
Virginia, Messrs. Brady and Libbey
voted against the bill.
The analysis below of the respective
votes shows that party lines were practi
cally drawn, the Republicans standing
almost solid for the interests of the people
and especially the working people, and the
Democrats arraying themselves almost
solidly against those interests.
The roll-call was watched with great in
terest both on the floor and in the CALLER
les. and an unusual silence prevailed as
the clear tones of the clerk enunciated
each name. The only break in the silence
occurred when Mr.. Holman, who had just
returned on an afternoon train from a
visit to his district, responded in the
affirmative when his name was called. lie
was greeted with round Of applause
which broke out afresh when Speaker Car
Isle, directing the clerk to call his name
cast his vote in favor OF the motion. Wher
