liamentary law and precedent should mark the
mutual relations of the twolhouses of congress,

parliamentary language ulPd by Hon. Robert
p Kennedy, representative from the state Of
Ohio, in . speech deliveredon the door of the
House en- the Sd day Of September, 1890, and
published in the Congressf0nas Record Of Eeptem-
ber 4. 1890, and considering it impracticable to
separate the unpariismen1Dry portions OF said
speech from such parts the] of - may be par
liamentary, therefore,
Resolved, That the public printer be directed
to exclude from the per- 1Rnent Congregational
Record the entire speech otHon. Robert p. Ken
nedy in the first resolution mentioned
Kennedy made an eloquent speech in his
own defense, offering nO apology for his
previous remarks. Kennedy in his speech
referred again 70 The pledges in the Repub-
lican platform, and the fact that the elec-
tions bill had not yet been passed by the
Senate. It was for this he spoke of broken
pledges. 1t was not the fault of the House.
He had but spoken in defense of the rights
of the poor, downtrodden and oppressed;
in behalf of liberty, justice, q free ballot
and fair count
Stewart spoke briefly, saying the ques-
tion simply was whether the speech was,
in spirit and substance, bitter and savage
arraignment of the coordinate branch, and
in violation of parliamentary law and the
privileges of the House.

ton on the substitute, that the House dis
approved OF so much of the speech as in
any manner reflects on the Senate or q
