The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1890-02-07


the country are witnesses of this
proceedings which will bury you
beyond resurrection. CAppIause on
the democratic side. You may
consummate these proceedings
as similar proceedings
were cOusummated at the
hour of midnight, when Dibrell, a
Federal Judge, made a ruling
that perpetuated the Republican
party in Louisiana for q year in pow
or, but his name has dropped into
infamy and even his own friends no
Ion ger mention his name above a
whisper. Applause. One Of
yoar predecessors in the Chair was
named Keifer. His methods
were Outrageous, but not SD gross
iy outrageous and unlawful as
You're. What has become of him?
He followed Didrell, to infamous
obscurity. But practices such as
you are pursuing were in keeping
with the paactices of your party
VIXEN you stole the presidency
and counted in a man who was not
elected. 1t is in keeping with the
practice of your party inf the State
OF Montana, where you have at
tempted to steal two Senators; it is
in keeping, too, with the conduct
Of Federal Judge in Indiana, who
has violated the law and who has
tramped upon laws to secure from
punishment the greatest political
criminal, the greatest political OUT
law of this country, and yet you
look and laugh at this scene.
Mr.. Boutelle-As the member
has denounced every department of
the government, executive, legisla-
tive and judicial, he had better 81;
down or secede.
Mr.. Bynum-You had better put
me down.
The Speaker-The gentleman
from Indiana has arisen 10 ques-
ton of personal privilege and ia nov
stating it.
Mr.. Bynum-Mr. Speaker, it il
the first time in the history of thit
house that the presiding officer hat
turned his hack on a representa-
tive and instructed mere subordi
nate of the house to suppress HIN
by calling the roll. If this is par
lIamentsry proceeding, If this com
ports with the high and RESPONSE
bic duty that belongs to the posi-
ton that you hold, sir, ! am mucl
mistaken and l want now 10 ente
my protest, and I dispute the RICH
of the speaker to record IN tn
Journal of the proceedings of thi
house. any direction or order what
ever that he may see proper. L
make. 1t is the Journal Of tn
proceedings of this house under tn
constitution. and not the Journal o
the proceedings of the speaker o
this house. You had no moe
right. sir, to inject anything into tn
Journal of this house than / have
or any other man present, nor evel
any individual not a member o
this house. You have gone forward
sir, you have usurped power, yor
have mutilated the records of thi
house to carry out the scheme tha
you have deliberately gone TO worl
to carry out. Deliberately, be
cause you went forward day AM
night to vamp up some feasible
showing to sustain your ruling. N
tyrant ever ascended the thron
but who attempted to vamp u.
, some feasible show of title to anus
the people while he gained posses
sion OF the kingdom. You have a
tempted to vamp up some feasibl
showing to sustain your outrageou
rulings to amuse the galleries an
the people. while you consummate
the behests OF the chairman of tn
National Republican Committee t
turn out representatives elected b
the people TO seats here and put !
their places men not only not elect
ed, but who do not command tn
respect of the people whom the
) seek here to represent. Now, Nj
Speaker, proceed In this matter, br
in the language of the immort;
Emmett, we propose to "disput
