z..,' Debate Shut Off
Upon his motion, Mr.. Dingley demand
ed the previous question, which served to
cut off amendment and debate.
Mr.. Bailey, who was Immediately on
his feet, asked if the motion to concur
with an amendment precuded motion
TO concur and was informed by the
Speaker that it would not if the motion
was voted down. 1t was a moment Of
intense excitement.
Mr.. Johnson (Rep.) of Indiana, and
Mr.. Bromwell of Ohio, were on their
feet, both demanding recognition to
state preliminary inquiries The former
wanted to ask unanimous consent to ad-
dress the House in antagonism to the
motion, but he was howled down. But
when Mr.. Bromwell, a moment later, de-
clared that he wished to offer an amend
ment to concur, the Democratic side sent
up cheer upon cheer The Republican
side was ominously silent. The Speaker
eternly commanded order and then in
formed Mr.. Bromwell that his motion
could not be entertained until that Of
Mr.. Dingley had been disposed Of.
Mr.. Bailey, under cover of making a
parliamentary inquiry, brought out
clearly the fact unless the motion of Mr..
Dingley was voted down, the House
could not vote on the motion to concur,
of which Mr.. Bromwell had given no.
tice.
Mr.. Sulzer (Dem.) of New York at
tempted to interpose with the point Of
order that Mr.. Bromwell's motion took
precedence over Mr.. Dingley. He had
a copy of the rules in his hand and was
prepared to argue the question, but the
Speaker unceremoniously declined to
hear him. No division was asked on the
motion for the previous question, but
upon the main question a chorus of de-
mands from both sides went up for the
ayes and noes. The roll call was watched
with intense interest. The Democrats
started to applaud every Republican
who voted mo-" but the promised de-
fection Of over twenty-five members on
the Republican side did not materialize.
The Democrats only had fourteen op-
.portunities to applaud. 1t was apparent
before the end of the first roll call that
they were defeated. Their disappoint-
ment was manifest on their faces, while
the countenances of the Republicans
were correspondingly joyful over the
victory.
