Republicans back Army bill amid Stalwart dissent and debate
The House backed the Army bill with fourteen Stalwarts opposing. Garfield led a heated exchange critiquing Democrats. Stalwarts pressed for presidential power to use troops, while the vote showed fourteen Republicans believed the party had surrendered. The Senate Stalwarts pledged a strong fight, and issues in New Hampshire were inflamed by Chandler's pamphlet on Senator Wadleigh. The Kellogg-Spofford probe continues, and adjournment prospects dim as committees move slowly.
