ruling of the speaker but, so far
as am concerned so far
as the peoples rcpresen tatiyes are con.
ccrnod, we shall not be- silanced and
gagged on the 1cor. You, sir have
violated more than any man OH this
floor the parliamentary rules OF practices.
You may consummate what you have
undertaken. You have power, backed
by n mob or the hoor OF this house.
Cheers on tbs democratic side, and
hisses from the republicans. The peo-
pic OF this country. sir, have spoken
through the pross in condemnation of
these proceedings which will bury you,
sir, beyond the hopes Of resurrection.
This proceeding is In keeping with the
principles OF your rparIy. IL Is in keep
ing with your action when you stole tho
presidency. 1t is in keeping with the
proceedings OF the republican party in
