TO CORRECT THE RECORD AGAIN.
Gr. Williams GLASS }, rising to a question OF
privilege, moved to strike from the Record
that portion Of the speech of Mr.. Walker
Glass which had not been delivered by him.
There seemed to be, said Mr.. Williams. con-
slant complaint on the part of the democratic
Representatives from Massachusetts against
their republican colleagues. He would not
complain Of this matter were it not OF per
sonai and insulting nature. such as, he thought,
seldom Appeard in the records of Congress.
Z The speech which the gentleman had printed
made gross attack on the class of men who
were denomInated mugwumps and on the
New England delegation After the gentle-
man from Massao husetts had declared that he
would print the rest OF his remarks
there appeared a sub heading inserted by the
gentleman hinself-"Hot Shot for Mugwumps
-Hoar and Williams Shown Up-Williams' Re-
port on Silver Coinage Riddled." Laughter.
His (NIiliamsO inquiry was proper one,
man to edit his speeches in the
Record. and have the results he
saw them IN his own mind blaZoned to the
world. 1t was the business of the committee
on printing to see that such matter was not in
jected by gentlemen who printed speeches
Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.), chairman Of the
committee on printing, said that the commit
tee had no authority over the subject
PRINTED By MISTAKE.
Mr.. Walker said that tine head lines to which
the gentleman objected had been printed by
mistake. [Lsughter.l
Mr.. Williams said that it was not his purpose
to do anything more than to ask the attention
OF the committee on printing TO such methods
and to ask it to see that no such thing should
happen in the future.
Mr.. Richardson said that ii was not in the
power OF the committee to prevent the gen.
ueman from Massachusetts making head lines
and captions 10 the various phrases of his
speech.
Mr.. Williams called attention to the
language, which seemed to him to
be supplementary and offensive
IN the extreme-words that were not uttered
IN heat OF debate, but were printed without
provoeatlon-words uttered only III print
ing and not In manly fashion.
Inc privilege of printing in the
Record was never intended to give the power
OF personal insult. Even if proper under the
rifles the exercise of that power was not gen.
tlemauly and not parliamentary
Mr. Williams. quoting from Mr.. Walkers
speech, objected to that Sentleman's declara-
their seats by gross deception and moral
fraud" These were at best unmanly words. but
coming here under the color of having been
spoken, they were the more serious. The gem
tleman from Worcester had quoted from the
sermon or the Mount. For d rock-faced and
and sky-plerclng monument OF bias
phemy commend him to the words
IN which the gentleman compares
an attack upon a fellow member 10 the rebCke
OF the Savior oil men 10 the Scribes and Fhari-
sees.
Mr.. Loud Zeal. DO you consider an attack
upon the mugwUmps as a personal attack?
SIR. Wiiliams-ies. d. because have been
one. Laughter
The controversy between Messrs. Williams
and Walker Mass. relative to the personal at
tack of the former bv the latter IN speech
published under leave TO print was dis
posed of by referring the subject to the COM
mittee on printing for investigation and the
House proceeded to the consideration of private
business.
