WILLIAM NJ. M'DONALD.
Chairman Committee ON Credentials.
ii. j. HENDRICKS, Secretary.
AS soon as it had been read Eugene
Marshall of Dallas moved its adoption.
and his motion met with about 30 see
onds.
Quincy suggested that discussion of the
report be limited to half an hour on each
side.
Rosenthal wanted half an hour for eac h
contested county, but Quincy Informed
Rosey that he was out of order, which
moved the gentleman from the Tenth to
sh0ut: That's right, rule me out:
knew you'd do it," To which the Quincy
strikers, who had taken possession
of the stage, replied: "You bet he
Will; he's de boss, sure"
web Flanagan having obtained the
hoor, denied that the Mcdonald report
was unanimous us Caldwell of Leeblrg.
one OF the members of the committees
had prepared a minority report. which
the chair had refused to receive, and
moved to substitute the Caldwell report
for the Mcdonald report.
Quincy replied that Caldwell wasn't en-
titled TO seat on the committee, to which
Flanagan retorted that he had been al
lowed to participate in its deliberations
until Mcdonald found out that he in
tended to dissent in the findings of the
majority, when he was ruled out,
wei, he wasn't there ut the proper
time to make a minority report, so his
report is out of order" said the chair.
Il was dar," shouted Caldwell: Il say
was dar."
".The chair rules you out of order and
rules that there amt no minority report"
Quincy answered back, ''and the motion
of the gentleman from FL Paso to substi.
tute is also out of order.'
Taylor of San Antonio moved the pre-
vious question and Flanagan demanded
u roll call, backed by about 400 other
Mckinleyites, but Quincy held that Il call
of the roll could not be had until the re-
port was adopted, and amid cries of gag
rule and other uncomplimentary remarks
he put the question as to whether the re-
port should be adopted or not The noes
outnumbered the ayes two to one. but,
hair, Quincy said decsively, "rhe ayes
have it and the report is adopted"
The chorus of yells which greeted this
was demoniacal. The McKinleyites
were just finding out what they had run
up against and began to raise nineteenth
century sheol.
Rosenthal got on chair and tried to
talk, but it was useless. Everybody was
shouting ut once, and the McKinleyites
gathered i'll the center aisles as if pre-
pairing to charge the stage Some of
',i'h' N"ht'u W bolt, Dul lne lcuucrS kept
them in line.
In the meantime Quincy was lcisurely
rapping for order without betraying the
least sign of emotion. Ferguson, Nc
Donald and Ellis, who stood near him.
looked on and grinned contentedly.
The Reed-Allison crowd shouted Take
your medicine, boys" while the voice of
J ohm Clemens, "the human cyclone" from
ri Paso, was occasionally heard above
the din, hurting choice cpithets at the
chairman.
In the course of half an hour Quincy
got chance to put in word and said:
You all are kicking about gag law. l
have treated you fairly, but you-"
That was as much as was ever heard.
as terrific yels of no you didn't" cut
him short, and the racket opened up
afresh
Rosenthal appealed from the decision of
the chair on the vote ON the committee
on credentials report, only to be in
formed that he was out of order and that
the chair wasn't in the business of enter
tanning appeals.
Flanagan demanded roll call for the
second time, only to provoke n sardonic
smile from Quincy, and the band played
on.
While the yelling was going on, Eu-
gene Marshall, Cuney's floor manager,
was hopping around trying to edge in
a motion of some kind which got lost
i'll the shuttle, but never succeeded in
making himself heard.
All efforts to restore order having
