s,ole to consider and debate
sne Dill carefully in the few days allowed
oy the rigorous rule reported by the com.
mlttee on rules. Mr.. Bayne, Of Pennsyl-
vania, speaking to q verbal %amendment.
sent to the clerks desk and had read a
letter from James Campbell, of Pittsbure,
Ia, denying the statements rejecting
upon his character made u few DAYS since
oy MIR. Bynum, OF Indiana, and Mr.. Will
son, OF West Virginia. In the letter be
strongly attacks these gentlemen. Mr.,
Springer said the letter was unworthy of
being put on the record of the house and
unworthy Of the gentleman who presented
1t. MIR. Wheeler, of Alabama, made a
point of order that the letter should be
stricken from the record. The chair
ruled that the gentleman who presented
the letter was responsible for it.
Nlr. Bynum Claimed recognition on the
question of a personal privilege relat
ing to the Campbell letter. Then ensued
a scene of uproar. Mr.. Bynum endeayored
to proceed, but was shouted down by the
republican side. MIR. Bnyne added to the
confusion by e%xclaiming at the top OF his
voice that the gentleman for whom he had
the highest respect had been charged with
forgery, and he wanted to present the let
ter III his defense. After an hours uproar
MIR. Bynum secured the floor amid com
paratlve quiet, and said Campbell's afi-
davit was to the effect that Wilson and he
had said Sl5 a month was enough for
any glass blower. In his district, where
he was known, the affidavit had not
been circulated; but it had been cir
graphed to the West Virginia papers de-
nouncing Campbell US q liar and periurer
since the gentleman from Pennsylvania
constituted himself a sewer through which
this muck of Campbells made its way into
the record. Mr.. Cheadle, of Indiana, made
a 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.

gentleman who makes this attack upon
NE. Excitement and uproar. Mr..
Cutcheon' demanded that the words be
taken down, while 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 were taken down aud
reported from the clerks desk, and Mr..
Cutcheon moved that the committee rise
and report the words to the house for &C.
ton. This was agreed to by a vote Of 1870
to SO. Mr.. Cutcheon then offered the fol-
lowing:
Reso1yea, Thai che member from Indiana,
William ID. Dynum, in the Language used by
him in committee Of the whole, and taken
down and reported to the house and rend ut the
clerks desk, has been guilty OF violation of tho
rules and privileges Of the house and merits
the censure OF the house for the same.
Resotred, That said William D.. Bynum be
now brought to the bar of thu house by the
sergennt-nt-arms and the censure of the house
be administered by the spencer.
Mir. Cutcheon demanaed the previous
question amid suggestions of gag law"
made q point of order that before q resolu-
ton of censure could be adopted the
speaker must decide that the language
was unparliamentary. Mr.. Springer de-
manded a division of the resolutions and
the first resolution declaring that Mr..
Bynum merited the censure OF the house
was adopted-yeas, 1876; nays, 1903. The
second resolution, providing for the pres
ence of. Mr.. Bynum before the bar of the
house was also adopted--yeas, 126; nays,
1O3 Mekenna aud Cate voting in the neg
at,ve). Then leaning on the arm of Mr..
Holman Mr.. Bynum appeared at the bar ac-
companied by all Of bis democratic associ-
ates, who found room in the limited spaca
and who were loud in their applause. The
speaker obtained order md requested the
gentlemen to take their seats. Mr.. SPRING
~, "cting as spokesman for his party, de-
cllneG to do SO. Sergeant at arms Holmes
then said: MIR. Bynum, by a 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 its speaker" The speaker again
requested the members to take their seats,
and again the de nocrats refused TO comply.
The speaker then said, calmly: The
house of representatives. preceives that it is
Impossible for the chair to enforce order Oh
account of the action Of certain members.
The chair will, therefore, proceed to do it's
duty under the present condition Of
disorder. William Bynum, you are ar
raj .ned at the bar Of the house for having
transgressed its rules by your remarks.
For this otIense the house desires that you
should be censnred at its bar. In the
name of the house, therefore, l pronounce
upon you it's censure. The sergeant-at-
arms will now release you" Mr.. Bynum
Under such circumstances l accept the
cepsure Of the house as o decoration of
honor. democratic applause.l There
was some disposition manifested by the
republicans to take umbraee at this re-
mark, but before it was understood per-
fectly the house at 1890 adjourned.
