Mr.. Wynne, rose to a question of privil-

ported in the Sentinel:
"Mr. Wynne also addressed the Senate in
favor of the per diem, and contended that
Republican members should have some
compensation for the prescription, ostracism
and 'crucifction" to which they were sub
jected socially and otherwise. He asserted
that there were not five respectable white
men in Franklin, who supported the Repub-
lican ticket, and that not more than that
number would recognize him when he re-
turned home, d.. &c.
Mr.. Wynne said he did not understand
the note of the reporter. He did not know
whether the reporter wept, or whether he
meant to say he, (NIr. Wynne) wept. He had
no objection to the newspapers saying just
what they choose about him, if they told the
truth. II the reporter wept, he did not see
him; and he (AIr Wynne) certainly did not.
He hoped the reporters would not misrepre-
sent him. He made this statement that he
might appear in the proper light before his
people.
