Total 226.
The announcement of the vote upon
amendment was received with applause
and some SURPRISE at the majority against
free coinage, it being nearly double the
largest estimate made by the Anti-silver
Committee. Bland, from his seat at the
extreme left of the chamber, smiled grimly
as he heard the result, nervously chewing
and rocking to and fro on his pivot chair.
The figures showed majority of the Dem
ocrats voted against free coinage.
Bland asked an aye and no vote on the
question of free coinage at the ratio of II
TO ana secured II.
As the clerk began calling the roll, Bryan
walked down the center aisle, calm and
grave. around TO where the silver leaders
sat. They sat in consultation some time,
then Bryan. by easy stages. made his way
back to his own seat. The vote on the
question of free coinage al the ratio OF II
to resulted, ayes 100. noes 240. On this
vote, besides the loss Of the Populistvoies,
the members of that party Withholding 2
their votes, there were several negative
votes from those who voted in favor of the
ratio of 16 to /.
The slight gains made on the higher
ratios were not unexpected by some Of the
leaders. and it was the published impress
sion of these that the ratio of 20 to would
poll the largest vote recorded in favor of
free coinage. The result of the call was
Ayes 119, noes 222.
General Tracey and Bland were con-
stantly and busiIy engaged in conference
with their lieutenants, and Lafe Pence,
the enthusiastic Populist from Colorado.
earnestly assured Amos Cummings of
New York the end was not yet. despite
the apparent defeat of advocates of free
coinage.
The first indication of "game" feeling
on both sides was the almost unanimous
vote in favor OF the ayes and noes on the
coinage amendment. Bland was on his
feet promptly with the first amendment,
and stood up to his bargain like a man,
demanding the regular order" to snuff
out McMillin's attempt to create diver
sion with an amendment confining free
coinage to the American product.
Il think l know the amendment the
gentleman from Tennessee would pro-
pose" said he in his blunt way. 'It is
for the free coinage of the American prod
uct alone, and that is not free coinage at
ALL"
With the close of the rolcall the clerk
announced single pair. specifying with

member would have voted il present.
