that would be improper, and that the only
proper remedy was an expunging of the petit
tion by the action of the House, and in order
to have that action he insisted that the peti-
tiOn should be read, 80 he could know what he
was voting on.
THE SPEAKER,
after quoting precedents in support Of his po-
sition, stated the House had control over the
Record as much as it had over the journal, and
he would therefore submit the question to the
House. He intimated that if he had his own
will about it he would let the petition stay on
record for what it In worth. If objection to
the petition had been noted by the reporter and
inserted in the report, the petition could not
have been printed IN tho face OF that objec-
tion; therefore the correction of the Record by
inserting the objection would necessarily ex-
clude the petition.
The discussion was protracted. Finally the
question was submitted as to whether the Record
should be corrected by the insertion of the OBJ
lection, the Speaker stating such correction
correction was ordered. The Speaker there
upon congratulated the minority OH the re-
suit, as it was a great protection to them. The
introduction of bills was then proceeded with.
