taken.
Mr. DAYTON-Well, ! will endeavor to keep
within the line OF my personal privilege. II was con.
sidered-or | consieIed-that | took the initiat0ry
steps toward efectng the organization OF this House.
| explained my position at the time. 1t was assumed
on my part, and aver III the face of all that may be
said TO the contrary that not WORD passed between
the American members and myself on the subject.
Not an American member ever proposed anything to
in reference to tue organization. Therefore, the
matter of the r. 900 never considered, and never
was made a part Of my arrangement; and what Is
more the Democratic party had no consultations
on the subject. Had not the Democratic candidate
been elected Speaker, would believe, have been
stoned out of the Capitol. The gentleman from Steu-
ben (Mr. Bamesl, who moved the adoption OF the
plurality rule said, when he moved it, that he
induced to do by what fell from the lips of the gen.
tleman from Kings MIR. Dayton). Therefore there
was no bargain, and II there was, made mighty
poor One-something have not been guilty of since
was u years of age. told Mr. Lawrence intended
TO sustain the plurality rule and all he said to ME in
response WAS "beware." The remarks made and
which the gentleman from Steuben said induced him
to move the plurality rule were made without con-
sultaion with my party, the American party, or any
one else with the single exception mentioned. The
American party had no part in the matter at all.
