Clerk Kenyon had been standing impassively
in his place while this talk was in progress. He
now began calling the roll on Mr.. SaXton's
appeal. The Republicans all voted aye. but the
Democrats declined To vote Senator Guy Demo-
crat. accused Mr. Kenyon Of usurping the rights
of the presiding officer When Senator OCon-
nor's name was called he said: I'VE Of the
Republican majority arc sent here To enact laws.

Governor attempts to prevent our acting upon

Senator Parker. Of Albany. put forth an anus
ing reason for acting with his Democratic
colleagues: II decline to vote. he said. "he-
cause | believe the clerk is calling the roll in de-
fanCe Of the Constitution.
Senator SaXton smiled and said: Mr. Prcsi-
dent. there is nothing in the Constitution bear
ing upon this question Of the clerk calling the
roll. The Constitution simply says that the
Lieutenant Governor shall preside over this body.
1t is the duty of the Lcutcnant-Governor TO
carry out the will Of the majority. Mr.. Shce-
hans ruling nufes that Will"
Mr.. SaXtOn's motion that the debate close was
adopted by a vote of nineteen ayes. Other mo-
lions necessary 10 bring the Senate - a vote
upon the majority report We're then put through
the clerk by Mr. SaXton and carried. Each time
Northumberland Sheehan protested. Finally
the Senate reached a vote upon the resolution

WOlfert. This motion was adopted by nineteen
votes The Senators who voted to unseat Nc

Just as Clerk Kenyon announced the vote. the
Lieutenant Governor said: The Chair decides
that this vote is contrary 10 the Constitution.

this declaration, but McCarty did not look
happy. The Senate then adjourned until to-
