The Republicans were beside them

silver Democrats were in despair as the
first roll call gave the silver men the
necessary two-thirds.
Finally after consultation they
agreed to vote. and did vote on the Sec

upon the announcement of the vote it
vas found that the motion to pass the
bill over the veto had been defeated, the
silver men lacking seventy-four of the
necessary two-thirds. The house then
at 5 O'Clock adjourned.
