question Of privilege. offered Il resolution

Government Printing Office. and that

Of the postmaster. who does not work in
the postotlice, and directing the commit
tee on accounts to investigate the allie
cations.
In speaking to the resolution, Mr.. En-
loe referred to the resolution offered by
him yesterday. and complained of his
being deprived OF the floor in parlia-
mentary, but rather unfair manner.
The Speaker suggested that tho gen
tleman was out of order in not confirming
himself to the resolution under consid-
Grafton. Mr.. Enloe rctorted that some
times it appeared that the Speaker saw
gentlemen on the Democra tic side out of
order much more quickly than he did
gentlemen on the Republican side.
The Speaker replied that in some in
stances the gentlemen on the Demo
cratic side were much more clearly out
of order. Mr.. Blount was also called to
order for not speaking directly to the
matter under consideration. He re-
scented this and declared that only the
other day, when the resolution eXpung
ing the Kennedy speech from the Re-
cord was under consideration, Mr.. Ken
nedy had been permitted to go on for 20
minutes re-afiirming that speech.
The Speaker inquired whether the
gentleman from Georgia had objected.
MIR. Blount replied that there were times
when the Speaker should object. The
Speaker said that he had seen nothing
the remarks of the gentleman from
Ohsss that called for his interference
The gentleman had been allowed by the
House to make an explanation. Mr.
was reiteration of the offense The
Speaker did not think so. No one had
objected to it. Mr.. Blount retorted that
no one had objected to the delivery of
the first speech, not even the Speaker.
The Speaker thought that the gcntlc-
man did not mean to incorporate in his
speech an intimation that the present
occupant was in the chair.
Mr.. Blount said that he did
not mean the present occupant. lie
knew that the Speaker had been out of
the city at the time. Mr.. Enloc again
took the floor and he also alluded to
kcnnedy's speech, and was called to
order by the Speaker. He protested
and said that on questions Of privilege
the Speaker had allowed gentlemen Il
great range in discussion. The Speaker
inquired what gentlemen was meant
MIR. Enloe replied that he referred to
gentlemen on both sides. He instanccd
the case of the gentleman from Arkan-
saS (ltogcrs) who. on Il question of privi-
lego, had been allowed to speak for an
hour attacking the Speaker, an attack
which the Speaker had taken very cnur-
tcously.
The Speaker said il was true that the
gentleman from Arkansas and other
gentlemen had made attacks on the
chair which should not have been per-
mitted.
Mr.. Enloe-Whilc we are settling
these little matters
The Speaker-I'ut the question is on
the resolution and the House is not
settling these little matters.
Mr.. Enloe-It does not come with pro-
priety from any occupant of the chair to
indulge in wit and sarcasm and witt
ciSmS at the eXucusc OF members on tLe

The Spcaker-Thc chair calls the
