what shape the Till now was as the
brads had been stolen out, and that it
might be somewhat mixed
Elliott did not think that any mem-
Der would descend TO such contempt
ib!c trick as that and that such an as
sertion was not right
DeFord replied that he had not ac-
cused any member but simply stated
fact
Upon examination by the speaker
the bill was found all right.
Elliott moved that further consider
alton Of the bill be indefinitely post
poned Lost.
Knipc moved that the vote had 10y |

coucurred in for the people of that
country did want the seed.
Hendrix thought the amendment
should be concurred in.
Posten then proceeded to tear hair.
He represented part of that country,
had gone all over it, and knew that
the farmers did want seed He was IA
farmer and knew the wants of far
mers
He was asked by Lowery if hc was
not mechanic, that gentlemen say
ing that he understood that Posten
was joist maker.
Posten's retort was partly lost but
contained a reference to a bald-headed
lawyer of some sort which seemed to
be appreciated.
ST. John said that he knew from per-
sonal conv ersation with men in the
c. and A. that some of them were in
dire want and that the picture which
had just been drawn by Pcsten of the
needs of those farmers was not over
drawn.
Mccoy favored the senate amend
ment
Walling was willing TO concur in the
, amendme or not just as the mem
bers from that country wanted.

As roll call was demanded each time
4 and points of order were being raised
by Nesbitt, Elliott, Knipe, ViclSers and
1 Lowery as fast as the attention of the
chair could be had the house presented
an animated appearance.
The speaker did not seem to regard
attempted obstruction with any great
degree of favor and some of his rulings
did not meet the entire appreciation Of
the persons presenting the points, and
even caused some little merriment on
all sides
DeFord said that he was sorry he
had ever troubled the house with a
bill and be would now advise his Pop
ulist friends in the future to simply sit
still and watch the proceedings, as he
did not believe they would ever sue
