strongly attacks these gentlemen. Mi.
Springer said the letter was unworthy Of

unworthy Of the gentleman who presented

to proceed, but was shouted down by the

Confusion by exclaiming at the top OF his
voice that the gentleman for whom he had
the highest respect had ben charged with
forgery, aud he wanted to present the let.

MIR. Bynum secured tho floor amid COM
parative quiet, and said Campbells aHi-
davit vas to the effect that Wilson aud hs
had said $15 a mouth was enough for

constituted himself q sever through which
this muck of Campbeli's made its way Into
the record. Mr.. Ckeadle, of Indiana, made
q point Of order that the language was out
of order. The chair thought the word
sewer" In this connection hardly par.
liamentary. Mr.. Bynum-I will with
draw it and say conduit pipe" I
have simply to say, as / did the
other day, knowing full we'll the mean
ing of the words. aud that I was respon-
sible for them, that I denounce Campbell
as a liar aud q perjurer: I want to saynow

Cutcheoni demanded that the words he
taken down, whils Mr.. Morgan, Of Mis-.
sissippi, stood in front Of the speakers
desk and argued that both the letter and
the speech be stricken from the record.
He feared that they might lead to
trouble outside Of the house. The
offensive words we're taken down and
reported from the clerks desk, and Mr..
Cutcheon moved that the committee rise
and report the words to the house for &C.
tion: This was agreedto by q vote of 100
to 80. MI. Cutcheon then offered the fol.
lowing:
R~esol.ed. That the membe from Indiana,
William D.. Bynum, In the language used by
him in committee Of the whole. and taken
down and reported to tho house aud read ut the
clerks desk. has been guilty OF violation Of the
rules aud privileges Of the house and merits
the censure Of the house for the same.
ResOtrcd, That said William D.. B.num be
now brought to the bar OF ths house by the
sergeant-at.arns and the censure of the house
be administered by the speaker.
MT. Cutcne9n demanded the previous
from the democrrtic side. Mr.. Springer
made a point Of order that before q resolu-
ton of csnsure could be adopted the
speaker must decide that the language
was uuparliamentary. Mr.. Springer de.
manded a division OF the resolutions and
the first resolution declaring that Mr..
Bynum merited the censure OF the house
was a~dopted-yeas, 1876; nays, 1903. The
second resolution, providing for the pres
cnce of Mr.. Bynum before the bar of the
house was also adopted-yeas, 126; nays,
1903 (MeKenna and Cate voting in tho neg.
ative). Then leaning on the arm of Mr..
Holman Mr.. Bynum appeared at the bar ac-
compnnied by all OF his democratic associ.
ates. who found room in the limited space
and who were loud In their applause. The
speaker obtained order and requested the
gentlemen to take theis seats. Mr.. SPRING.
or, acting as spokesman for his party, de-
clined to do so. Sergesnt.at.arms Holmes
then said: Mr.. Bynum, by q resolu-
ton OF the house Of representatives. you are
required to appear before the bar of the
house to receive the censure of that body
through it's speaker" The speaker again
requested the members TO take their seats,
land again the de mocrats refusedto comply.
The speaker then said, calmly: The
house of representatives preceives that it ia
Impossible for the chair to enforce order OH
account Of the action of certain members.
The chair will. therefore. proceed TO do its
duty under the present condition Of
disorder. William Bynum, you are mr.
raisned at the bar of the house for having
transgressed it's rules by your remarks.
For this offense the house desires that you
should lie censured at its bar. In the
name of the house. therefore, l pronounce
upon you its censure. The sergeant-at-
arms will now release you" Mr.. Bynum
Under such circumstances l accept tho
censure Of the house Us a decoration of
honor. democratic applause.l There
was some disposition manifested by the
republicans to take umbrage at this re.
mark, but before it was understood per.
