The desire of the Republicans was to
finish consideration of a number of
cases and have th *m ready for presenta¬
tion in the house by the time congress
reconvenes after tiie holiday recess and
before the new rules were adopted.

cial efforts to keep a quorum of their
own members in constant attendance at
the sessions for a few days and by the
aid of the arbitrary power which the
speaker can exercise through the lack
or fixed yules, they would “railroad”
certain cases through despite any poBsi-
sible opposition the Democrats could
offer. 4 :
