slider the vote. He was now ready and willing
to vote for snch reconsideration.
Mr. Copeland thought il came with very poor
grace for Democratic member to charge open
banded revolution against the Republican party
or Its representatives on this hoor-gentlemen
who have ever since the beginning of this ses-
sion, taken advantage of that most Infamous
of parliamentary practices commonly termed
the gag law" It lily becomes men who have
from the beginning of this session followed the
dietation of a man who has always taken ad-
vantage OF the gag rule force, man WHO is a
rampant, unrepentant unhurg eX-SOn of Liberty.
Mr. Heffren rose to a question of order and de-
manded that the words just spoken by the gem
teman from Jefferson, Mr.. Copeland. be taken
down, and declaring the language unparlamen-
tory.
The Speaker commanded the clerk to take
down the language used by Mr. Copeland, which
the Speaker decided TO be unpariamentarv.
Mr.. Jewett was of the opinion that in all the
discussion there had been reason advanced
why this motion TO reconsider shonld prevail.
He Joined heartily in what gentlemen had
7 said about the scenes in the other end of
the building going down in history one OF the
worst exhibitions of party tyranny ever perpe-
trated. He believed thar the members were not
IN the right mood to discuss this question fur
ther at present, and made an Intellectual motion
TO postpone the question until 10 O'Clock to-mor-
row.
Mr.. Smith, of Tippecauoe, believed that such
thlrg as repeating the general appropriation bill
had never occurred He hoped that the second
step would not be taken in this revolutionary
measure.
Mr.. Wilson, Of Marion, had listened to this
question, and had heard, he was sorry TO say
many things that had no bearing upon the Ques
ton under consideration. He hoped there
wopld not be an extra session. He could not
see that any good would come of an extra ses-
sion, ana If the Senate and Governor would act
promptly and without delay there will he q way
out of this difficulty. He moved the previous
question, which was seconded by the House.
