nor of using language that is unbecoming a
gentleman and Representative. But, sir,
when l see gentlemen. make use of their
Senatorial position to call others towards
liars, and traitors, ] deem 1t my duty as
Senator and citizen sympathizing with
those thus assailed to insist that such
things shall be stopped. No man, sir, has
been more violent ia this respect than the
Senator from the Second District, no man
. has been more fond of using such phrases.
The President: hope the Senator will
! confine himself to his personal explanation.
| Mr.. Braughn ! am doing so. He has
stated also that my remarks were more for
the purpose of ventilating my political ideas
than for argument. Now, sir, deny it.
Mr.. Bacon called the Senator to order.
Mr.. Campbell: hope the gentlemen will
be permitted to make his explanation and
that / shall be accorded the same privilege.
Mr.. Braughn: came here, sir, with sin.
cere desire to serve the city as well as the
country, and not as politician. When
make remarks of personal character, they
are based upon facts to which can refct.
| Mr.. Campbell: MIR. President, / also rise
| to personal explanation. No one, sir,
| will accord to the gentleman who has just
! spoken the credit of having abstained from
the use of unparliamentary language more
willingly than l. But l wish to call the
| attention of the Senate to the fact that
| deny in toto his statement that no one has
been more guilty in this respect than my
self There was but one instance previous
| to today in which | used a word of that
nature upon the floor of this Senate, and
| that-as the recollection of Senators will
bear me out-was after a thrice,repeated
charge of desire to avoid Investigation,
which considered charge of fraud on
my part, and after l had repeatedly
notified the man that made it

That is the only time have
| transcended the rules of courteous
debate, and think it was with sufficient
| provocation. When the gentleman who has
! just taken his seat attacked the character OF
Mr.. Conway, while did not know but that
it might be regarded as unparliameRtary,
claimed the right to reply to it, and show
| what considered the animus of the gentle
man in his attack, and l adduced another
instance of such an attack.
wish further to say that when perfect
freedom of debate is given upon one side,
shall claim it upon the other and l. also
consider myself responsible, here and else
| where, for what / say.
