ment of the pairs Mr.. Wolcott asked by
whose authority the senators from South
Dakota, who he understood were in
favor of the amendment, were paired
with senators who would also vote for
it. The vice president said that he could
give no information on the subject.
Mr.. Voorhees, stated that he had been
paired with Mr.. Moody. Having gath
cred that that senator could not be re-
lied upon to vote for the amendment,
but against it, his (Mr. Voorheeso pair
had been transferred to Mr.. Ransom,
who would have voted for the
amenement. Mr.. Wolcott said that
he made the inquiry only in order
to protect the senators from South Da-
kota, who had asked that care be taken
in pairing them. Mr.. Casey said that
he had telegraphed Messrs. Moody and
Pettigrew four or five days ago stating
that the vote would be taken to-day. and
asking whether they desired any
change IN their pairs, and he had re-
ceived no reply. The pairs, therefore.
remained with Senators Ransom and
Hearst.
