Brumm were seated together and talking

Bynum, of Indiana, said when the gen.
tlemaR from Nevada Woodbury. was read

he had propounded to him the question
to whether Garfield, when he lived, was not
a member of the Golden club, rs well as
Murat Halstead, and the gentleman had re.
sponded that no republican living was
member of that club.
Buchanan interrupted to declare that
Woodburn had been incorrectly quoted
What he did say was that no prominent
republican in public life was a member of
the club.
Bynum said he had revised list of the
members OF the Golden club showing that
Murat Halstead had been admitted in 1880.
II also showed the name of Hugh McCol-
loch, former republican secretary of the
treasury, admitted in 1871; OF Stanley Mat

United States supreme court aud appointed
by Garfield, no doubt, for the reason that
he was q member Of the Golden club"
Bynum-"I stand corrected in that"
