taa-ad Neither democrats nor republi-
caDs knew they were voting on the vetoed

,,snf mis- head The democrats got angry
and the republicans, eager to have a dem

Iordly TO demand time for the silver dem
ocrats to do it. Nearly everybody was
IN his feet, when Speaker Crisp stated
the question which was before the
House. namely, the passage of
the bill over the veto Both
sides were demanding a vote, and
the speaker put pit. Some one yelled
for the roll call, and MIR Allen. the first
name on the list shot out of the clerks
mouth like mimic ball MIR Reed
caught the drift and demanded to know
what was being voted upon He was too
late however, and the speaker ordered
the roll call to continue Then there fol-
lowed a similar knock out to the one Reed
sustained last week. The ex-speaker re-
fused to be seated. The speaker ordered
the sergeant at arms to lead him to his
chair. but Mr. Reed, taking the hint and
puiing up like pouter pigeon, humbled
like hungry bull dog, skunk to his seat
amid cheers from the democrats. The
roll call was continued and the bill de-
fasted The name of Crisp was called at
the end and the speaker voted to carry
the bill over the veto.
