but Speaker Douglass refused to leave the
stand. He is there holding the fort and
will remain until elected by the military

Gratis in the House declared IL their duty
to go over TO the Republicans as the legally
organized House the excitement was 20 in
tensifed that violence was feared. This
action OF the Democrats meant either a
