Mr.. Davis, that he Davis had made no

marks when he was interrupted by the

The rule governing the subject was read
Mr.. PAUL moved to lay the subject on the
table.
Mr.. DANIEL suggested that the motion to
table was not in order.
The CHAIR decided that it was in order,
because it was not question for him TO de-
eide, but for the Senate to decide.
Mr.. SHERRARD SAID that what he objected
TO was the language-that because Mr.
Davis had promised to Use bis office IN The
interest OF the Readiuster>, DC. 1t was the
motive for the nomination that tue senator
ought not to have put in.

was rejected and unless there was another
question raised the protest would he spread
upon the Journal.
Mr.. DAVIS ventured the suggestion that II
the rules permitted senator to have his
protest entered all the discussion had been
out Of order. [Laughterl
The CHAIR said No. II was for the Senate
to say whether the language OF the protest
was respectful. II it was respectful 1t was
the privilege OF the Senator to have the pro-
test entered whether the Senate so voted or
not.
Mr.. WALKER moved to indefinitely post
pone the whole subject.
Mr. MAYO said that there was further
language in the protest to which he OBJ
jected, and read. "As such could not have
received the nomination" Mr.. MAYO said
that was not true, so far as he was con-
cerned. because il he Davis bad made any
such promises or concessions he would have
been disqualified from receiving his vote.

lion on the motion to indefinitely postpone.
