the result-a sudden and vigorous hoist
ing Of the rustic into the ditch. He re-
ferred to the coming admission of South
Dakota and to the Democratic slave
power of the South having prevented
the free, loyal Republicans of the
North would now rejoice over as hay
ing been defeated.
Representative IveS-I give notice of
debate.
Representative Estes-I move that
the rules be suspended and this resOlu-
ton passed.
Mr. Hay-I hope the resolution will
pass, and the house thus rebuke the
Democratic brigadierS.
Judge Fleming took the floor, and
cool and cOllectedly began to hammer
Mr.. Hay into fragments.
81 do not concur in the language of
this resolution. / honestly believe that
had the Republican party been in ma
jority in congress during the pendency
of this question, it would have done as
the Democratic party did. No party
could ;.ave done iifferently, because
even the people of Dakota could agree
upon nothing. IT,, we're not ready to
come in. There w7s too much dissen-
sion among themselves. Congress could
do nothing for her. Let us be honest
about this matter. We can afford to
now that election is over with. l am
satisfied that the Republicans OF this
house will not ratify the peculiar ami
mosities of the gentleman from Henne-
pin. Congress cares nothing for us, and
this is not the time nor place for us to
take such action. This resolution is

Representative CapSer-I rise on be-
half of the Democrats. I am growing
tired of the slurs and insults of certain
young Republicans who never SmeIt
powder. This resolution is an insult to
us and I am not afraid to tell these
Young spurts what / think Of them.
ILaughter].
Representative Estes-I think it
proper that this resolution should be
passed.
Representative Brown would have
no objection to the resolution if it had
not been accompanied by slurrlng
speech.
Representative Hanke-I move to lay
the whole matter on the table.
Representative Hay-I rise to point
of personal privilege.
Representative Flynn call the gen.
tleman to order.
Representative Hay-I rise to point
of the highest personal privilege. L
Representative Flynn insist on my
point.
Confusion upon confusion ensued.
Howls. cries of ''Question." peals of
laughter, prevented Hay from saying
word for several moments. Finally he
made himself heard:

reads this resolution Alright can say that
an insult is offered. If to refer to
matter of history is an insult then am
guilty of the charge. 1t is an outrage
that should be accused of this. / in
tended to offer no insult"
The motion to lay upon the table was
lost.
Representative Stevens-I--
Representative Fleming rise to a
point of order.
Representative Stevens-I simply
wish to say that Mr.. Hay brought this
resolution to me and l told him that /
would support it, but did not notice
the closing sentence. / have now Sug-
gested to him that this Objectionable
clause be stricken out, which he refuses
to do. believe in congratulating our
sister territory, but not in warfare upon
aparty.
Representative Smith, am surprised
at the remarks of the gentleman from
Crow Wing. If he entertains such views
he ought to change over to the Demo-
cratic party. This resolution is good,
clean Republican doctrine, and we have
no reason to be afraid of it.
Speaker GraveS-I must limit this de-

pension Of the rules for the passage of
this resolution.
Representative Hay still refused to
strike out the Objectionable phrase,
although the temper of the house was
rising and against him.
Representative Ives-I trust that the
Republicans will appreciate our situa-
tion and not rub it in. suppose that
they were satisfied last fall when they
got the earth, but now there seems to
be disposition to reach out for more
planets. l don't like this spirit. /
think Judge Fleming is eminently cor
rect when he says that the Republican
party had been in power it would have
done the same thing. You may get this
resolution through because you have
the power, but l am sorry to see this
spirit.
representative CdpS6r-1 can recOl-
lect that when the Republicans were in
the minority they were the biggest
towards | ever knew.
The motion for the suspension of the
rules carried.
Representative Hanke-I move to
amend this resolution by striking out
the words referring to Democratic
congress.
Representative Hay-The action and
conduct of my colleague surprises me,
although that of Mr.. Fleming does not.
supposed that my colleague (Hanke)
had more faith and confidence in the
