postponement SO that they might all see where
this thing was to end.
Mr.. CoLFAX said no person could have been
more surprised than himself at the uncalled
for and unprovoked attack of the gentleman
from Ohio. Nothing he had done to that gen.
temen either in his personal or political asso-
citation could have justified him in his
illusions. But as the gentleman had seen hit
to refer to what he (Collax) did in previous
Congress, i'll justification of what he (Stantonl
intended to do now, he wished all the facts to
be laid before the House. Mr. Coltax then
turned to the records of the 34th Congress to
show that he repeatedly voted for Mr.. Fol-
LETT Finally, it morally and politically
impossible to elect him, he voted for MIR. DEF
REEFS, after having learned that Mr.. follett de-
clined being a candidate. He mentioned 9TH
er circumstances in this connection in Justifi-
cation of his course. lie asked Mr.. Stanton
if his favorite had been nominated he would
have spoken here as he had to-day.
Mr.. STANTON replied that his candidate had
made arrangements to do the work himself on
his own account and responsibility.
Mr. CoLFAx was understood to say that Mr..
Stanton friend owned no office here.
Mr.. STANTON replied he had contracted to
have work done on his own presses.
Mr. CoLFAX, resumng, said Mr.. Defrees has
been a practical printer for thirty seven years,
as well as publisher and editor, and is as well
calculated to superintend the execution of print
ing as any person who lives on this continent.
The gentleman from Ohio said he was much
surprised at his political associates, but he
(Coltax) would be the last man to make a
charge without the facts to prove it.
Mr.. SHERMAN modified his motion by adj
ding that the House now proceed to the cleo
ton of printer of the 36th Congress, with
the proviso that the House retain the right to
modify the existing law as they may see prop
er, the printer receiving the appointment on
the condition thu set forth and that COM
mittee be appointed to examine the law in re-
lation to printing. and the prices paid therefor :
and that they report thereon with the least
practical delay, with such changes or improve
ments as may be deemed desirable. The
House again refused to second the demand for
the previous question by 70 against SO.
