Two votes were taken, the first on the
motion OF Mr.. Chandler to strike out the
word "not" in the original resolution pro,
viding that Mr.. Quay was not entitled to
seat in the Senate. This motion was de-
feated by a vote Of 80 to SO. Then came
the vote on the original resolution.

(Dem., Ark. J, Lipdsny, Mcbride, McCum-
Der, McEnery, Mcmillan, Martin, Money,
Platt (Rep., Conn Proctor, Quarles, Ross,
Simon, Teller, Tillman, Turley, Turner,
Vest and Wellington-33.
After the vote was announced Mr.. Chand-
Ter asked that the list be again read In or
der to have the vote verified, and that very
unusual course was taken. The vote was
then taken on the original resolution de-
clarlng Mr.. Quay not entitled to the seat,
and the resolution was agreed to. Yeas,
33; nays, 50, the same vote as the first, only
reversed.
Mr.. Derew, who was on the side Of Mr..
Quay, was paired with Mr.. Hanna, OF Ohio,
who was against him. The other New York
Senator, Mr.. Platt, voted on the Quay side.
The two Massachusetts Senators, Lodge
and Il oar, were paired on the Quay side
against Mr.. Thurston (Rep., Neb.) and Mr..
Pettus Oem., Ala.).

have but one Senator, Mr.. Penrose, until
rhe Legislature shall have met and elected
some one to fill the vacancy.
Former Senator Qaay said that he was
much disappointed at the vote OF the Sen.
ate In his case. Senator Penrose said that
he was greatly disappointed by Senator
Hanna's action and by the result In the
1t was one OF the fortunes OF
ssnxtotYest, ,the intima personal friend
OF Mr.Qaky, might have made quay.
Senator BY voting for the resolution de-
clarIng him to be entitled to his seat. He
voted against Il, and again, when the reso-
luton was put declaring Quay mot" en-
tribured to make the majority OF one by
which Quay was rejected.
The day III the Senate was devoted en-
tirely to debate upon the Quay question,
many OF the greatest lawyers and orators
in the body delivering speeches. AS the
DAVIS session wore on and the hour for tue
final vote approached the galleries gradu-
ally were filed until they were thronged
with multltudes, while other multltudes
were unable to gain admission.
tits the universal opinion Of Senators on
both sides OF the chamber that Mr.. Quay
was at least a dozen votes stronger than
any other man would have been with the
same case. The Senate went on record
against the right OF Governor to appoint
q Senator after the Legislature had failed
to do so In the case OF Corbett, OF Oregon.
The rejection OF Mr.. Quay's title makes 1t
pra ,tically certain that the three vacancies
now existing-from Pennsylvania, Della
ware and Utah-will not be filled for some
time to come, II, indeed, at all, during the
life OF this Congress.
