From the Democratic side Immediately came cries
that the matter was not one of privilege, and the
Speaker so ruled on the ground that ITO hotloh VI

MR. CANNON MOVES TO CORRECT THE RECORD

There was much confusion on the Democratic side

Cannon resolution so as to have 1t apply TO other
speeches which have been published, although never
uttered in the House.
THE CHARGES DENIED COMPLETELY A YEAR AGO.
Mr. McAdoo alluded to certain charges, published
last year and promptly and completely refuted by
Senator Logan at the tme to the effect tat he hau
been concerned in efforts made by relative OF
his to obtain possession of certain lands in New
Mexico which belonged to Indians. Mr. Springer
was anxious TO read to the House the history of
those charges and s. 5. Cox was anxious TO speak
but both statesmen cut OF by an order whlch
compelled the House to take recess at o'clock.
The assertion that Senator Logan, VINO is "a poor
man is the owner of 10000 of land is so SUI
premely absurd that any denial on MS nehau
seemed to be wholly unnecessary. The charges
against bIm on account of the New-Alexco lands
We're wholly unfounded. but he took the trouble to
deny them in the most expicititerms in letter pub
lshed on MAY 29, 1883. In that letter he sald;
