134 to 161, rejected the administra-
ton bill to authorize the issue of $780,
100000 in gold bonds. When the vote
was announced Mr.. Springer moved
to reconsider the vote, by which a
third reading was refused, but this
motion was laid on the table, and the
bill was killed, parliamentary
speaking. The analysis of the vote
shows that forty-four, republicans and
ninety-seven democrats voted for the
bill; lfty-six republicans, ninety
seven democrats and eight populists
voted against it.
In the afternoon Mr.. Bell, populist,
of colorado, offered an amendment au-
thorizing bonds to be issued by the bill
to be sold for gold or silver without
discrimination and to be payable in
gold or silver. 1t wa lost, IA to JOG.
Mr.. Bryan, democrat, of Nebraska,
called attention to the fact that al
though the republicans professed to be
in favor of coin bonds not ten of them
had voted for the Bell amendment and
Mr.. Reed, who had himself introduced
the substitute authorizing the issue of
coin bonds, had voted against it. Mr..
Walker, republican, of Massachusetts,
offered an amendment to confer upon
the secretary of the treasury discre-
ton as to the interest to be paid on
the bonds and the time that. they
should run. After a spirited debate the
amendment was lost. 81 to 81.
MI. Bryan offered an amendment to
Mr.. Reeds substitute to provide that
nothing in the act shall be construed
to vitiate the policy of the govern
ment to pay all coin bonds in gold or
silver at the option of the govern
ment as was passed in the resolution
passed by congress. Mr.. Conn, demo-
ment to the Cox substitute to make
bonds issued under it's provisions bear
three per cent. interest and payable
in twenty years.
The hour set for taking a vote, $50,
arrived while the amendment of Mr..
Terry was being read. 1t cut off this
amendment, leaving two substitutes
and amendments thereto pending.
The amendments adopted in commit
tee were agreed to in the house with
out division except that one to reduce
the annual tax on the national bank
circulation from one to one-fiurth Of
one per cent. per annum. This was
also agreed to, 200 to Al. A vote was
then taken on MI. Bryan's amendment
to the Reed substitute and was lost,
100 to 1877. The vote then required on
Mr.. Cobb's amendment to the Cox
substitute. The Cobb amendment was
beaten without division and the Cox
substitute, on a rising vote, 80 to 1874.
lis disposed of the substitutes and
amendments, and the vote was then
taken on the third reading and en-
grossment Of the bill itself, which was
defeated on a rising vote, 81 to $50.
Mr.. Springer demanded the nays and
ayes and the roll was called, confirm
ing the rejection of the measure, the
vote standing 1874 to 161. Before the
vote was announced Mr.. Reed arose
and attempted to make an eXplana-
ton of why he and his colleagues had
voted for the bill, but he got no fur
Their than the statement that he had
made a proposition to Mr.. Springer
that seemed fair to him, when he vas
hOwled down by a chorus of objec-
tons from the democrats.
