Georgia district. Mr. Pence moved the case
be postponed until Monday. At first the
democrats were inclined to vote against the
consideration of the case at all today, but
acting by the advice of Speaker Crisp they
united with tie Republicans and voted to
proceed with its consideration. Failing in
his effort to secure the postponement, Mr..

aided by Republicans and Populists. This
1mpelled the committee on rules to bring in
an order for an immediate vote on the reso-
luton of the committee on elections. After

exhausted the order was adopted. The reso-
lutions of the committee on elections de-
claring Mr.. Watson not elected and Mr..

to 10. The House took a recess.
No business was transacted at the evening
