The Wheeling daily register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1864-1878, 1875-11-12

stated that, up to dark yesterday even
ING. he did not have access to the pa
pcrs and did not know what the report
of the majority would be, he therefore
hoped that time would be given tbs
minority to report.
Mr. Fleming ruled that the report lie
on the table, and not be printed.
Mr.. Campbell rose to point OF order.
He understood these gentlemen to be
making an effort to throttle the report OF
: the Committee and keep it from going
irto print.
Mr.. Fleming denied the statement
made by the member from Hancock. A
respectable minority desired to report to-
morrow, why not let both reports come
in together. He wanted to see them
side by side.
Mr.. Hutchinson wanted to know why
the majority in the House desired to
throttle the minority who are trying to
get this investigation before the world.
Mr.. Fleming secuted the idea that
there was an attempt on the part OF the
majority to throttle the minority. de
wanted fair showing to ali parties, and
the minority of the committee were en-
titled to as much respect as the majority.
Mr.. McEldowncy said that he would
report tomorrow, AMI saw no necessity
for any feeling in the matter.
Mr.. Stuart was surprised to see so
much feeling displayed in this matter.
The report did not cast reflections upon
any one, nor did the Committee give any
conclusions. 1t simply reported the evil
dence taken by the Committee without
any expression as to the guilt or limo
ccnce of the parties. He couldn't see
what the minority had to report. as the
testimony WIS all submitted by the ma
iority. He WAS anxious for the House to
get through with the business before 1t,
and it would take the printer several
DAYS to get the report printed.
Mr.. McEldowney thought that. the ma
iority had drawn conclusion, and that
was his reason for submitting minority
report.
MIR. Pritchard disclaimed any intention
to delay. If the minority does not re.
port bv tomorrow morning, he would
vote for the report of the majority to be
printed.
Mr.. White rose to point of order.
Ovcrrulcd.
Mr.. Welch moved to rccomwit the re-
port to the committee.
Mr.. Campbell said it was not usual to
re-commit without instructions. If he
was Il member of the committee and this
WAS done, he would fling the resolution
back into the teeth Of the llOnSe.
The Speaker here announced that this
discussion was out of order.
Mr.. West said that it was usual to
print report and dispense with the
| printing Of accompanying documents,
| and u AN instance he cited the gentle
man from Wood (Ilutchiuson) to the
time he introduced his famous Louisiana
resolutions accompanied by the Presi-
dents message, and the House dispensed
with the printing of the message.
Mr.. Hutchinson again urged that this
report and accompanying documents be
/ printed.
Mr.. Mason made suggestion. He
was informed that j: would take four
DAYS to print this report. Let the report
| 90 into the journal OF to-day, and we
will not get it until next week, and by
that time the minority report would be
printed.
Mr. Campbell raised point OF order
Mr.. Mason refused to yield.
Mr.. Hutchinson wa, decided b. be en-
titled to the floor, and gave way to Mr..
Campbell.
Mr.. Mason insisted that member had
no right to assign his position on the
floor: The point was sustained 10y the
/ Speaker.
Mr. Hutchinson then agreed to accept
/ Mr.. Masons suggestion as an amend :
ment.
Mr.. Carlisle would vote against any
proposition to delay He thought the re-
/ port ought to be printed as soon As pos
sib so that menl ers could haven char c
to examine it.
The vote WAS then taken on Mr.. Elem.
/ ing's motion to lay on the table and not
be printed.
MIR. Hutchinson called for the ayes and
nays.
