Wells: II wish to add but word.
Every man who has the spirit of q

'net with such TRADE of abuse and
scurrilous langage as would he to-

MIR. Lewis denied that he had any
personal quarrel with the Secretary.

to act with discourtesy towards the
members. l am politically opposed
to him, but otherwise had no fault
to find with him.

there had been any filth thrown he
did not know of it. He had not
seen the gentleman either on the
