they should have before the tarii debate could
proceed The high-wnter mark Thursday was l5o
| democrats, twelve more than Wednesday, but
twentynne less than the requisite number 1t
was claimed by the democratic whip that over
S0democrats were in the city, and that some

\ warm in their support OF the Wilson bill or
| openly fighting some Of its features and have
deliberately decided to ofier no aid toward get

Of the inability 10 secure quorum On We'd

those messages had moi been productive OF q
quorum Mr. 3outelle when the house opened,
| endeavored TO get his privileged motion up,
but the speaker recognized Gen. Catchings,
! who as member Of the committee on rules,
desired 10 report from that committee rule
assigning time for the tariff bill When Gen.
Catchings secured the report OF his rule, the
motion for the previous question being made,
the republicans and populists refrained from
voting and the result was nearly four hours Of
almost uninterrupted roll calls and calls OF the
house without the production Of a quorum
There were enough democrats in town and al
the capital TO have made quorum had they oil
voted, but some fifteen or twenty democrats
who oppose the tariff bill as reported, and who
are opposed 20 the proposed income tax add
