whether under such circumstances the pair
should stand. Tho pair was intended to
continue until Thursday. but he thought
n mistake had been made In entering II.
Bach said in his judgment pair was
matter Of honor and can only he discon-
tinucd by one Of tho parties to the pair
when he considers that the sense Of honor
no longer holds him. Scharnikow also Ia.
sisted that the pair was not q question for
the house to consider. Tallant thought
Ward should be relieved at once of fur
ther continuance of the pair under the
circumstances. Bach in another speech
said the only course was for Ward 10 i'm
sisi on his vote being cast. For his part
he would insist ON his vote being cast in
