ought that had been granted. But also
.a.sia1a pd the language Of the protest W uld be
#pectful to the members Of this body.
AAAA ink the language there used, sir, is disre.

on; allowing it to be spread upon the Journal.
- y i,,aa I, f jerks: Mr President, have other
: So ectons to the protest besides its being
fespectful in language. II contains al.
ttalsehood in that it states that the ques-
'ersOal nof fraud was inquired into by the com
temss tsssa zee; whereas the facts are that by

gasS pity alone. 1t is evident that the Sena,
I ypiaiS who presents the protest is not the au.
