Mr.. Crisp offered an amendment to the
clause OF the rule providing that no dila-
tory motion shall be entertained by the
Speaker, adding the words But the de-
Inand for the yeas and nays shall not be
considere1 dilatory."
Mr.. Adams, Of Illinois. suggested that
ms the demand for the yeas and navs was
constitutional right that the words sup-
gested were supererogatory.
Mr.. Crisp retorted that from recent
experience he had learned that not safe
guard that could be put around tho Con
stitution could be considered IA the work
or supererogation. The gentlemen on the
other side of the House would either vote
Tor bis amendment or leave il in the power
OF the Speaker 70 deprive members of their
constitutional rights.
Mr.. Struble, Of Iowa, said while he fol-
lowed as well az he could tho leader Of his
side OF the House, and while he looked
with suspicion upon any amendment
coming from the Democratic side, he
thought that the Republicans would do
wisely to adopt Mr.. Crisps amendment
Mr.: Di1eley, Of Maine. thought that
mischief might como from tho declaration
that the demand for yeas and nays was
never dilatory. One might make the de
mand; 1t might be refused. another man
might repeat 1t, and it might be again re-
fused, and 50 on, dd fni',ra.
MIR. Brown. of Pennsylvania, expressed
his amazement that any Repu blican should
vote for this amendment, and thus vote II
want Of confidence in the Speaker.
MIR. Herbert. of Alabama, said that the
question was not one of confidence or lack
of confidence in the Speaker II far tran
scended IN importance any such question
as that. 1t was question Of fundamental
law.
Mr.. Struble, Of Iowa, denied that his
position implied any want Of confidence IN
the Speaker. He had endorsed the Speaker
IN his able administration Of General par
liamentary law, and he would continue 20
do so; hut when he recognized among the
many trifing, unwise propositions coming
from the other side one which was wise he
would give 1t his support.
Mr.. Crisp's amendment was rejected
yeas, 119; nays, l49.
MIR. Crisp then offered an amendment
providing that the Speaker shall not III
any case refuse to entertain an appeal from
his decision.
In the course of the debate upon this
amendment Mr.. Taylor, of Tennessee, adj
dressing the Speaker, SAID You by your
action have placed yourself IN the line of
promotion. Laughter and applause.
You have made yourself one of the central
figures of this nation, and instead Of be-
ing regarded as a tyrant and desp0t you
have written yOur name on the scroll Of
fame to be remembered when your assail-
ants are forgotten.
Alr. Cooper, of Indiana, expressed his
acqulesccnce III the statement made a few
DAYS ago by Sir. GTOsvenor of Ohio, that
the Democrats camped one night whore
the Republicans had camped the night be-
fOro. That WAS true. The Democrats
were camping in the Republican camp in
Ohio, in Iowa, and in Indiana, and they
would camp wherever the Republican
party camped until that party was without
a camp at all. lApplause on the Demo-
cratic SIDE
