Harrisons's resolution of Yesterday to
admit Moody to the floor OF the senate,
was Land before the senate.
Vest said he Welded to the man IN
e. n
ponent, but thought that the people
whom Moody represented had not been
courteous to the senate, and Vest be-
lteved that courtesey should be
reciprocal. Those people acted
against the deliberate parliamentary
action of congress and had taken action
that Vest declared revolutionary. He
denied that Dakota was a state either de
lure or de facto, or that il could become
50 without the authority of congress He
knew the Benton resolution would be
adopted. 4s it was part of the program
agreed on by the committee on terrific
ries.
Harrison denied that it was a part of
any program. The resolution was In
troduced by himself without reference
to the committee. He defended Judge
MondV against the aspersions which,
Harrison SAID, had been cast on him bl
Mr. Vest. He IN wed the admission of
Moody to the flor.
