Republicans demanded further time, but
Springer was obdurate, but finally he
agreed to allow one hour. Randall de-
clared the Territorial bills were taking
up time due the appropriation bills, and
the edict, Don't VOTE" went forth,
leaving the House without quorum.
Springer then withdrew the demand for
the previous question and the discussion
was resumed.
Springer's amendment as amended
was agreed to. A similar provision rela-
tive to the admission of Montana was en-
bodied in the substitute, upon motion Of
Toole, of Montana.
After some political sparring between
Springer and Warner, Struble of Iowa
read a letter written by Springer to
Governor Ross of New Mexico, asking him
to secure memorials for admission of that
Territory and forward them to Washing
ton. He read this, he said, to contrast
Mr.. Springer's friendliness to New
Mexico, whose Legislature never petit
toned for admission, with his unfriendli-
ness to Dakota.
Springer replied that the Republican
Legislature of New Mexico rendered a
vote OF thanks to Delegate Joseph and
himselffor assistance to that Territory.
Perkins, OF Kansas, moved to amend
Springer's amendment by providing if
the Sioux Falls constitution was ratified
by the people of South Dakota, the
President shall Issue proclamation de-
clarlng the State of South Dakota's ad-
mittance into the Union. Agreed to.
Dougherty, of Florida, offered an
amendment including Utah and Arizona,
saying he did not see why an "Omnibus
bill" of Democratic origin should let in
all of the Republican territories and keep
out the Democratic territories. He did
not see why Utah should be kept out.
The people were fully equal to statehood
and were among the most reliable Demo
Gratis in this country. In this case reli-
gious prejudice operated to keep out
Utah. Why should she be kept out ?
81 believe" said he, "It is bad policy
fer the party to admit territories which
will strengthen it's opponents and keen
out those that will strengthen ITSELF"
The amendment was ruled out on q
point of order. The House then pro.
ceeded to vote on the Omnibus bill as
amended as substitute for the Senate
measure and it was agreed to by a party
vote of yeas 1873, nays 100
Baker, of New York, then moved tc
recommit the bill with instructions tc
| the Committee on Territories to report
back the bill for the immediate admission
of South Dakota and enabling acts fol-
Montana, North Dakota and Washington
The motion was lost; yeas 116, nays 131
| Springer closed the debate in epeect
| which elicited applause.
The Senate bill, as amended by the
substitution of the "Omnibus" bill, was
then passed; yeas 144, nays 90.
| Springer moved to amend the title &c
as to conform to the body of the bill
Grosvenor, of Ohio, thought the title
should read "to try to convince the peo
pie of Dakota that the Democratic
party is willing that Dakota should come
into the Union, but proposes, in fact
to keep that Territory and all others tha
have Republican majority out of tht
Union for an indefinite period of time. ,
During the last session of Congress the
gentleman from Illinois and those wht
acted with him had refused to conside
the bill for the admission of Dakota, bu
they had heard voice since then, anc
it had been the voice of magniicen
I i
had said, in thunder tones, that tht
Democratic party was not fit to rule the
country. The people of the Northwes
had called for bread, and the Democratic
caucus had given them stone. There
was nothing now in the bill but delay
Its purpose was delay and to defraud the
people out of their rights.
Springer's motion WAS agreed to. The
House then took recess.
The House at the evening session
passed the private pension bills, and a
10 O'Clock adjourned until tomorrow.
The delegations form both South ant
North Dakota, who have been here urg
ing the passage Of the Senate bill for the
admission of South Dakota and an ena
bling act for North Dakota, feel very
much dissatisfied with the provisions O
the Springer Omnibus bill which passed
the House to-day. They are all united il
saying that it will merely serve to delay
the admission of South Dakota, and rem
der useless all that has been done sine,
the organization of the movement for ad
mission five years ago. They are asking
the Senate to reject il, and are willing t.
take their chances with the new Con
gress, hoping and expecting that an extr.
sessionwil be called blythe President.elec
when he takes office. The delegation re
gard the provisions of the bill unfair in s
political sense snd unsafe for the matsria
INTEREST of the Territory.
| Representative Glass, of Tennessee from
the Committee on Agriculture to-day, re
ported adversely to the House the Sen
ate bill appropriating $25, 1000 to be ex
pended under the direction of the Com
missioner of Agriculture in making ex
periments in cultivating and manufactu
ing fax and hemp.
