last veto message upon the Speaker
table was then laid before the House. |
wss the message vetoeing the bill grant
ing pension to Joseph Romiser. and d
this case ls regarded as presenting
especially strong features, the Republi
cans determined to make fight over it
refsrence. Burrows, Of Michigan, Wig
orously assaulted the veto. and main
fviued that there was no reason why th,
Bill should be referred to committee
There ware no facts to be ascertained
and Ia such cases it was customary h
Act upon the veto without reference

Of President Arthur on the Fitx- J OH
Porter bill. That bill had bee
Immediately considered by the Hons
without reference to a committee. Tb
President had vetoed the Romiser bill
because he had not been mustered in a
