3 INCOME TAX ADOPTED.
Tho last amendment to bo voted upon
was that providing for the income tax.
Mr. Cochran demanded the ayea and
nays upon this. amendment. 1t was
significant that the Republicans re-
fused to second tho demand for the ayes
and nays, but enough Democrats arose
(5l) to order the roll call. 1t was then
found that the income tax could not be
voted upon as separate proposition,
the speaker deciding in accordance
with the precedent which he cited that
the internal revenue amendment hav-
ing been reported a5 single amend
ment could not be divided. Tho vote
therefore was upon the entire rejection
OF the internal revenue amendment.
'The Republicans, with few excep-
tions, refused to vote, but the amend
ment, including tho income tax, was
adopted-ls2 to so.
The Populists voted in the at1irma-

feated on q rising vote--l0S to III.

asked aud granted by rising vote. The
