Much anxiety was manifested to
, vote. but MIR. Clark, of New York
E rose. saying he proposed to address
the House directly on the question
, of organic ition. While he did not
t expect to show how an organization
could be effected, he thought what
{ he would say would show an orgni
, zation could not be effected.
Mr.. Adrian II you can bring
about an organization, | hope you
will speak that word.
Several voices-"So do ]; let's hear
it,"
Mr.. Clark resuming, said he had
been called an Anti ti-Leconpton
man and sometimes accused OF
nercenary bargaining for tho sale
Of votes for Speaker. As to this
published slander of him and his
brother mercenaries he had long ago
reached that point of political des-
potism when nothing said or written
by any living man could in the
slightest degree influence his action
in the organization OF the House or
any other action. While he C aimed
the right to speak for himself, he
utterly disclaimed the right for others
to speak for those who were acting
with him. In defining his position
be called himself States Rights
Democrat, and said he triumphed
over the organization in his district,
where federal and municipal officers
combined to defeat him. Holding
no allegiance to any man or organ
ization, he was as free as the flag
that waved over the Capitol. He
had opposed Bocock because he was
the candidate of the administration.
Mr.. McClrrnaud said some gen.
tleman had voted for him without
the slightest solicitation on his part,
and, as many knew, contrary to his
wishes, he begged his friends, after
thanking them for their kind regard,
TO vote for him no longer; he then
complimented MiIlson rs a patriot
and statesman, and entirely capable
Of discharging the duties OF Chair
man.
