the President was. not sustained by
a 7 to 6 vote!
Now Mr. Mitchell gallantly with
drew his amendment to locate near
"the Clancy and Jefferies claim and
the way was entirely clear for Mr.
Richardson to ask permission to ad
vance the bill .to locate in Omaha to
third reading. This was agreed to
by the ever recurring 7 to 6 vote.
Bennett and Pierce again attempted
postponement tactics by moving to
table the bill, but the 7 to 6 major
ity held like a stone, wall. He asked
reference of the bill to the Commit
tee of the Whole with the same re
sult and in still another desperate
attempt to prevent a final vote,
moved adjournment but Omaha's -: 7
to 6 majority was impregnable. Mr.
Richardson now moved the previous
question for final action on the bill
and Bennett made one last vain ef
fort to halt the inevitable by rising
to a point of order but Pres. Rogers
ruled that Richardson's motion was
in order. . Bennett's last obstruction
effort aside from voting against the
bill, was to appeal to the Council
from the ruling of the chair but the
President was sustained 7 to 6.
Now came the final vote on the
passage of the bill and the seven
votes of the north Platte rolled on
to victor. The result was as follows:
For the passage of the bill to locate
at Omaha Richardson, Jones, Good
will and Rogers of Douglas; Folsom
of Burt; Clarke of Dodge and Mitch
ell of Washington (7.) Against
Bennett. Cowles and Bradford of
Pierce; Brown of. Forney; Sharp of
Richardson and Nuckolls of Cass
(6).
Richardson made good his inten
tion to make Mitchell sole Commls
sioner to locate the capitol buildings
for on February -1, 1855, the ap
pointment was confirmed by a vote of
11 to 1, Mr. Mitchell modestly re
fraining from voting on - a measure
which thrust this valuable office
upon him. and Sharp of Richardson,
stubbornly holding the opposition
alone.
