The Question Being Upon the Passage of the Bill as Amended.

Thus reads the Senate • Journal, page 544, and then follows the vote showing that every republican in the senate favored its passage in that form, which was for the Mattingly amendment reducing the number of examiners to 10 and their pay to $6 per day. t Senator Halleck voted for it 'in this form. Democrats were clamoring for 100 examiners at |lO per day, and every democrat in the senate voted against the amendment fpr economy.

Why don’t the Jasper County Democrat telLthe truth about this?

Why don’t it say that Senator Halleck voted for the amendment but against the bill as it became a law? Plainly, because it could not say It without being fair to Senator Halleck. which it does not want to be.
