Mr. De Mr. Lit- tlefield, two trained lawyers of a knowledged ability, had reached the Roberts in a spe colleague. rmond aud conclusion that was lygamist: that he was not entitled to sit asa member of the house—but that the constitution, and law the facts in this case provide only one safe and legal plan of action, to let the Utah man in and then promptly expel him. For three days they forcefully con- tended for the adoption of their re- port asa substitute for the majority which denied Roberts the right to take the oath. While they lost by a decisive vote, they made a splendid presentation of their views and car- ried with them on the first roll call 81 members of the house. Against the adoption of the majority report on record, be sworn only 50 members went and not a man of this number would under any circumstances have voted to let Roberts remain or become a member of the house, except long enough for the roll to be called on the motion to expel him. The result is what was confidently expected. Brigham H. Roberts, the convicted polygamist, and rejected representative of his back to Utah.

The amendment to expel Mr. Rob erts without seating him, offered by Mr. Lacey, was ruled ouf on a point of order, and the house only voted upon thi solution of the majority and minority of the committee. The latter—to seat and then expel Mr. Roberts—was defeated, SL to 244. An analysis of this vote shows that 170 republicans, 72 democrats and 2 populists voted against it, and 71 democrats, 6 republicans for it. The majority resolution—to exclude Mr. Roberts and declare the seat vacant —were adopted 278 to 50. The af tirmative vote was divided as follows: Republicans 168, democrats 96, and populists 4.
