on a question Of personal privilege. lle

him. was blinded by pre- iudice In excluding
him from tho caucus the privilege had been
denied him which was conceded every com

before being condemned. Among tolOHei
Goodies CHARGES was one that he hid arrayeu

and that he bad advocated negroes 1or once.
The facts IN the case were that some tme ago
the chairman Of the tWenty-One cOioTed arm

courted by the Democratic members like
belle of Richmond. The Democratic caucus
now forced them TO hoist on high the flag of
reform, with the Goddess of Justice as their
coat Of arms and the motto: Equal rights to
