Sill need not remind y"n that certain expressions
which you thought proper to use III debate On Saturday

extremely harsh and personal. Viewing them in ll:al

had Il right 10 do, IN the same place, where the attack
was made, 10 irprl lle charges your language contained.
Numerous calls to order and o:Ier causes prevented ne
from pursuing the course intended, and from .iudcat-
inr myself luIly bcIurc The public.
