and preposterous and that he had ruled WITH rod OF
iron. He would not for one, consent to vote for
such a resolution.
Mr. WATERBURY said, If his experience in this
House hsd not taught him not to be surprised At any
thing he would have been surprised at the Offering OF
this solution. But he surprised that men should
ge up hers and propose resolution expressing ther
approval Of the course of the Speaker OF the House.

in that way only could he account for II. Notwith-
standing the custom, be was one who when bis feel:
iDgs ured and his rights tamped upon, could

approve sf the of the Speaker, who he sad,
bad ruled for the one hundred days In msnner
which he considered right and then, though yet con.
Steering himself right changed his ruling. Besldes,
the Speaker had announced here that he would not

Mr.. +. w. PALMER said he would give the reso-
luton bis as nt most heartily and cordially. lie
considered that members, as we'll as the Speaker had
faults and If the question was TO be rled, lei aim
cast the first stone who Is without SIN.
Mr. RIDER, also, wanted the House TO accord
