The national Republican. [volume] (Washington City [D.C.]) 1866-1870, 1869-11-02

OF stiflng investigation was concerned that
four Of five weeks had satisfied nearly every
man that there was no violation OF law on
the part Of the Mayor. He was satisfied Of
that when the prosecution closed, but they
had listened TO the cry Of "lmpression,"
and had allowed the committee to 20 on for
eight weeks. For himself he was willing to
let the 'impression" 20 abroad. The eyi.
dence shows what tho 'flmpression" Is.
Mr.. Hall then moved 10 lay the motion TO
reconsider on the table. 7s.f
Mr.. Hatton. Can explain my yote'
Several members. MOI
Mr.. Hatton. No you don't no previous
question this time. tLaughter.] lie said
that the action OF the members OF the Board
this evening In moving to lay on the table,
aud asking the previous question on mat
tor 80 grave. was Infamous and unbecomlng
the dignity Of legislative body.
The motion TO lay on the table was agreed
to-yeas II, nays 0.
Mr.. Hatton suggested that the Board now
adjourn, and serenade his majesty, sayles J.
Bowen, and they would hear the speech he
had written ak weeks ago.
Mr.. Browne rose to report bill.
Mr.. johnson said he was tired Of hearing
these insults
Mr.. Browne claimed the floor.
Mr. johnson asked to say few words II
Mr.. Browne will yield.
Mr.. Browne. I will not.
Mr.. Johnson hen said he rose to point
Of order. IL out Of order, he would take hi:
seat and give the same courtesy to Mr.
Browne at some other time. lie objected tc
these insults Of Mr.. Hatton, which wcrC
dragged before Board on every occasion
He hoped the Board would prevent the In
suits to the chief executive officer Of the cor
poration.
Mr.. Hatton asked leave to explain, ant
the Board granted leave.
Mr.. Hatton said he wanted II distinct,
understood that be stood here as man, ant
that he was speaking for himself. Insult,
to the Mayor or insults to the President o.
the United States would be given by bin
when duty to his constituents compelled
him to do so. The people would insult hin
(the Mayor,) and say "away with YOU
the right to vote and speak as he though
it. He was not on terms Of personal init
macy with the Mayor, and II he was, h
would not allow his conscience TO be pushed
out. He would as leave be intimate will
the devil as to be intimate with him. Goo
and the people will call him to an account
Honesty and reform His vote and the vote
of others had placed him (the Mayor In hi
seat. II his (Mr. H.'s) vote could send hin
to torment he would send him there. [Sensa

Mr.. johnson said that he was indepeuden
10 al Of his actions. He had never cringe,
to the Mayor or asked him for favor. Pre-
yous to last July Mr.. II. was frm sup
porter Of the Mayor. Since that time, OF
every occasion, on almost every bill tina
was introduced, he Mr.. ii. had denounce,
the Mayor as "squanderer of the people
money!" ga criminal" and "a culprit." N,
dlsorganlzer had ever labored so hard to dis
rupt and annlhilate the Republican party a
he Mr.. H. and his associates. Last yea
a party Of gentlemen, nine In number, wer
In this chamber. They were elected Oppose
to the Mayor, to the principles Of the Repub
lican party, but they never could condescenI
to stoop to such meanness.
They never so far forgot the rules OF dc
cency and good order as TO descend to sucl
epithcts. But these sore-heads, these growl
ing Republicans, have during the last sii
months taken every occasion TO heap odiun
upon the Republican party. He believe,
Mayor Bowen was the personiilcation O
honesty and integrity, and the people woul
so recognize him, despite the disorganlzers
Mr.. Browne reported bill, which Is give
above, and on motion OF Mr.. Gaines tn
Board adjourned.
