hr. Henderson Qowa) said that the agree
ment bound the democratic party to bring this
worlds fair question to . vote and to take
whatever steps were necessary to accomplish
Mr.. McM,llin stated frankly that there was
nothing in the agreement which would prevent

THE RxPuBLIcANs' POSITION.
Mr.. Dingley CMe,l asserted that there was no
purpose on the part Of the republicans in any

responsibility there was rested not on the re-
publican side. The republicans were opposed
to the concession which il was proposed to

publicans would not interpose any obstruction
calculated to prevent them going forward.

M. Bailey (Tex. demanded a second, and ii
was ordered by vote Of 1853 to nothing.
Mr.. BAILEY's PROTEST.
Mr.. Bailey protested against the resolution as
being a high-handed and unprecedented pro-
ceeding. The resolution violated the agreement
Of the democratic caucus. Nowhere in the
agreement was there any resolution requiring
the democrats to vote for cloture resolution.
The adoption Of the pending resolution
meant that the treasury doors were opened and
an Illinois corporation was permitted to walk
in and take out S2.500, 900.
Mr.. Culberson (Tex. took issue with his col
league and urged the faithful carrying out Of
an honorable agreement

that the amendment was not in order
The chairman submitted the question to the
committee and the point was sustained-54
to 81.
Mr.. Pierce showed some symptoms Of resort
