Bayne of Pennsylvania read a letter from JAS
Campbell, president of the Glass Workers As
ISOLATION. in which an attack was made upon
Representatives Bynum of Indiana and Wilson
OF West Virginia, the implication being con-
tanned in the wording of the letter that they
were not men of honor. Mr.. Springer pro-
tested against such letter going into the
Record and Mr.. Wheeler made point of order
against it. The chairman overruled the point
of order, stating that the gentleman from
PENNSYLVANIA CMr. Bayne) was responsible for
the letter.
MR.. BYNUM RULED OUT.
Mr.. Bynum then claimed the floor on CUES
ton of persona. privilege. The chair held that
there was no such question presented There
upon there was an uproar. Mr.. Bynum en-
deavored to proceed. but he was shouted down
by the republican side
MIR. Bayne added to the confusion by ex-
claiming at the top of his voice that a gentle
man for whom he had the highest re spect had
been charged with forgery and he wanted to
present the letter in his defense
Mr.. breckenridge of Kentucky shouted out to
the chairman that 1t was not fair to silence the
man who had been publicly attacked and let
the man speak who had made himself sponsor
of the slanderer and stood in the shoes of the
slanderer
Amid intense confusion, excitement laugh
ter and shouts OF louder" Mr. Bayne was
heard to declare that Campbell was the equal
In every respect Of the member from kentucky,
ana Mr. Brecklnrldge to assert that he had no
doubt that the member from Pennsylvania took
the man as his standard of manhood
MI cannon I'LL said that the revenue bill
was under consideration.
There Is SANDER under consideration"
yelled Mr. Mills
MIR. Bynum complained that the chair had
stopped HIM and allowed the gentleman from
pennsylvania to 60 on.
The chair stated that he had not permitted
the gentleman from Pennsylvania to proceed
Inc chair had done the best that he could to
prevent the gentlemen from PENNSYLVANIA
ana kentucky from using the language they
did- Inc char had done all he could and was
not responsible for the gentlemen proceeding
out of order.
Mr.. Mckinley thought that it was in the in
tertst Oh lar play to allow the gentleman from
Indiana to proceed, no matter what the rules
might be.
Mr.. BYSUM on THE FLOOR
After half an hour of uproar Mr. Bynum Sc
cured the hoor amid comparative quiet and
said that the Campbell affidavit was to the eff
feet that Mr.. Wilson and he had said that SIS a
month was enough for any glass blower In
ms district where he was known the affidavit
had not been circulated, butit had been circu-
Iateu IN Mr.. Wilson's district He had tele-
graphed to the West Virginia papers deuounc-
ing campbell as a liar and periurer Since the
gentleman from Pennsylvania constituted him
sell the sewer through which this attack of
0ampOell made Its way into the record
here Mr.. Chead!e OF Indiana made the point
OF order that the language was out of order
Inc chalr thought that the word sewer" in
TINS connection was hardly parliamentary
Mr.. Bynum-l withdraw it, then, and say
cohuuit pipe. Since the gentleman from
pennsylvania is the medium through which the
statement of Campbell found its way into the
record; since the chair has said that the way a
cltizen who may feel aggrieved can get into
the Record is by the Endorsement of a member
OF the house, have simply to say that l did
the other day, knowing full well the meaning
OF the words and that was responsible for
them, denounce Mr.. Campbell as IA liar and a
perJurer. want to say now that accept and
am willing TO believe that have as great con-
hdence Ill the character OF Mr. Campbell as I
nave IN the character of the gentleman who
makes this attack upon me-
Al this point the excitement and uproar be-
came SO great that nothing could be heard In
AN interval OF comparative quiet Mr. Cutcheon
demanded that the words be taken down Mr.
Morgan Ala stood in front of the chairman

and the speech be stricken from the record
