far less 10 general political and partisan broad
sides An unusually large attendance OF men,
hers made dilatory tactics futile and no time
killing dispute occurred over the presence or
absence OF quorum.
The opponents OF the bill directed their efforts
so far as possible toward stirring up dissensions
on the Republican side. but they succeeded only
in exposing a single instance OF revolt. That was
ON the subject OF free hides The Democrats
nressed the question Of a duty on hides for the
benefit Of the farmer with such vigor that Mr.
Hepburn OF Iowa, was drawn into the debate and
made a strong plea for dutable hides. He de-
manded that the House should have an oppor-
tunity TO vote on this question and declared that
every Western Republican was in favor OF IL
MI Cannon. OF Illinois, also gave qualified In
dorsement TO this demand.
The Republican leaders defended the bill to
