MIR. LAMpMAN EXPLAINS.
Mr.. Lampman rose to question Of per-

the legislature has continued for eight
weeks and during that time have never
missed roll call excepting once, and then
I was properly excused; have never failed
to respond to my name when the roll has
been called upon any pending measure; in
no single instance have waited until the
clerk has finished the roll then asking to
have my name recorded; in no case have l
changed my vote. I felt it my duty
to vote upon every measure and took plea
sure in doing SO. Ihave stated my views
clearly, fairly and fearlessly on every ques-
ton that has given occasion for remark.
have expressed my convictions and have
voted according to my declared intentions,
have all my life been subject to sudden
attacks of sickness and keep remedies in
my room. Last Friday feeling an attack
coming upon me went to the speaker
and asked to be excused and started
to 20 to NY room but was
conducted to The restaurant where
informed that a call Of the house was
ordered sent word to the speaker that I
would come in and vote, not knowing what
measure was before the house or what
measure was likely to come before the
house. l have too much respect for my
self and too much contempt for those who
have misrepresented my motives to make
reply to the insinuatiOns which have been
made. cannot command words to char
| acterize, as it deserves, the course some
men have taken, but did want to call at
| tentiOn to the points have presented.
