vote, as it presented a more direct issue
than had been anticipated. 1t was seen
at the outset that party lines We're being
broken, Chandler, Carter and other
Republicans voting against the amend
ment.
AS the vote closed Chandler, noting
some Republicans in their seats who
had not voted, asked that the names of
the Senators not voting be read.
The Clerk read slowly Allison. Bur-
rows, and there being no response, the
result as above was announced.
Quay came forward with a new
amendment as follows:
Strike out all after the enacting
clause and insert: That all the bonds
