UnavaiIing Tilt ovef Rules
Mr. Dalzell offered the resolution
agreed to by the Republican caucus for
the adoption of the rules of the las.
house with certain specified amend
ments as the rules of the present house.
This drew the first fire from the other
side. Mr. Richardson inquired whether
opportunity was to be given to offer
amendments and on receiving a negative
reply he protested against such action.
He said he desired to offer Some ameno-
ments which he thought would prevail
IL the gentleman from Iowa (Hepburn)
could deliver the forty votes which the
newspapers had said he had in the 1,e-
publican caucus last Saturday.
Mr.. DalzelI said the proceeding was
similar to that taken in the last cons
gress. He yielded five minutes to MIR.
Richardson, who occupied the time m
denouncing the rules.
While Mr. Richardson was speaking OF
Mr.. Hepburn's forty followers, Mr.. Steele
Qnd) countered by asking if the NC
Clellan resolution offered at the Demo-
cratic caucus last Saturday would COM
mand forty votes on the Democratic
side.
Mr.. Hepburn in a five minute speech
said that his views on the subject OF
the rules had been entertained by HIM
for many years. He had even attempted
to secure their modification in the Fifty
third congress, which was Democratic,
and upon that occasion Mr.. Richardson
himself had bitterly opposed the change.
This sally raised shout of laughter on
the Republican side.
Mr.. DalzeH moved the previous ques-
ton, which was ordered, 176 to LAB.
Mr. Richardson moved to commit the
resolution to the committee on rules
which was lost, 142 to 1S5.
The resolutions were then adopted, and
at 4:30 the house adjourned.
