PRIVILEGED QUESTION RENEWED.
Mr. Durham said the Reporter Of the Car
Gilman had told him that the statement of the
President that the Reporter had asked to he
expelled, was erroneous He had said that
the President could expel him if he saw
proper. Neither did he recollect saying that
his report was disrespectful, but perhaps he
might have said so.
The President-interruptin that
the statement of the delegate Cor the Report
er was erroneous. The Reporter had asked
him not to read the report aloud as it was
insulting. and he wished to be expelled, that
he intended it to be insulting. The Pres-
dent would like to have the notes in his
hand now. but it would be recollected that
he had said this before, when the Reporter
was present, and no attempt WAS made to
deny it.
Mr.. Durham said the Convention would
not allow it.
The President said he had called to the
Reporter for the notes, but they were not
given to him. They were insulting to the
Convention and would have been SO to any
body.
Mr. Durham said that he had given the
young mans statement.
! The President said the statement should
have been given when he first made his
. The character of the President for veracity
was at stake. He had pited the young
J man and had not been disposed to expe
, him, and certainly it had not I,een done
for malice He would have kept him il
he could. but he couldn't have allowed
him to stay in his own house, after the
use of such language. (Applause) The
matter should be finally disposed of lie
: would order that it he entered on the j0urn
0 al that the Reporter had avowed his inten
I ton to insult the Convention and wished
i to be expelled. That it was then DONE
Mr. Durham asked that the statement Of
the Reporter be also entered.
The President said that could not be done
but if the notes OF the Reporter. which h,
: had seen. were brought here, he would ordel
= their entry on the journals to show the req
!; son of expulsion.
Mr.. Durham said they were private pro
y perty, that he did not have them, nor coult
he bring them here without permission.
The President: You have seen the Re
porter2
!. Mr.. Durham: Yes. sir.
The President: Have you seen the paper
Mr.. Durham: No. sir.
Mr.. President: If the Reporter is presen
let him come forward.
Mr.. Abbott: He cannot be heard on thi
= floor.
Mr.. Durham said he did not know til
contents of the paper, but he had made til
statement of the Reporter, which diifere
from the Presidents.
Mr.. Harris, of Wake, said the Reporter
, who had been expelled, was in the lobb
and had been conversing with the delegat
= from Cleveland for some time.
