for it. For himself he would never vote to stop the
wheels of the government He voted In committee
and in the against this item because it was in,
troduced violation of the rules of the House. II
the vote by which the bill rejected shall be
sdered he would move that the item be stricken out.
While he would vote for bills for internal improve
ments, within limits which the constitution will usti
fy he would consent to legisIate evidently for
the purpose of forcing veto, or making argument
against the democratic party by forcing the President
to sign the bill with the Objectionable item Ia it, Such
conduct was not respectful to the President The
