ballots, those ballots, they reported, should be thrown out, and another
man, who was not elected, should be counted in. In the report on
the next case--the Hillborn case--the committee stated that the ballots
were indorsed by the initials of the judges of election, and therefore
should be thrown out. In other words, that one gentleman should be
unseated because the ballots were not indorsed, and another unseated because
they were indorsed. Now, an appeal upon a question like this ought
to be submitted to the House, so that the Chair might have the satisfaction
of having his ruling in a case of this kind passed upon by the action of
this House.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. SPRINGER. Mr. Speaker, I reserve all the
time on this side. I think the ruling of the Chair was sufficiently
understood yesterday, and there is no necessity for making any remarks
now.
The SPEAKER. The question is upon approving
the journal.
The question being taken; there were on a division
(called for by Mr. LACEY)--ayes 128, noes 1.
Mr. LACEY rose.
The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Iowa makes
the point, as the Chair understands, that no quorum has voted.
Mr. SPRINGER. Then let us have the yeas and
nays.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
The question was taken; and there were--yeas 183,
nays 0, not voting 170; as follows:
