luton passed. But very few members
were present and nobody seemed to real
lie what 1t was while the roll was being
called.
Mr.. Sulzer came in and discovering
the force of the resolution told the
Democrats to change their votes. Soy
eral Of them did, but while doing 80 the
Clerk announced the vote as yeas, 6j:
