round of applause as he ascended the
| steps to his desk
Mr.. Payne Rep, n. " rising to a
TO the scene Of Thursday afternoon, in the
| course of which the Speaker asserted that
| the gentleman from New York had re-
| sponded to a demand from the Chair to
be seated, that he would take his seat
when he got ready. The remark had been
made. Mr. Payne said. i'm reply to a de-
mand that he be seated coming from
members on the floor. while he was in
conversation with the gentleman from
Ohio (Outhwaite). He had not heard the
Speakers request until the unjust re
Election had been made upon him by the
Chair. He had wondered, Mr. Payne said.
why some Of the wrath that descended
upon him from the Speakers chair had
not been visited upon the member from
Ohio, and upon others who sat upon that
side Of the aisle: why he was not per-
mitted, as a representative on the floor
of the House, 10 assert his rishts the
same as others were.
Mr. Outhwaite said the colloquy be-
tween himself and Mr.. Payne had occur
red as stated by the latter, and might
have been so yOcferOus as TO prevent
the gentleman from New York hearing
what the Chair had said For himself,
he did not know that he had been OBJ
structing the orderly progress Of busi-
ness. and was not aware until he saw IL
in the record that he had been named by
the Chair.

floor Of the House. and II he would read
the papers from his own state. said Mr
Wise. he would know what was thought
Of the proceedings there.
Mr. Cannon Ckcp., I'D raised laugh
by interiecting the remark that All OF
US cannot be- as calm and judclally
ed as the gentleman from Virginia
In response to Mr. Wise, Mr.. Payne
said it was because he had been refused
the opportunity at the time Of explain
ing the facts I'm the case that the re-
marks in the press, referred 90 by the
gentleman from Virginia. had been made,
and it was this injustice that he COM
plained Of
T'he Speaker said the remark Of the
gentleman from New York mad been
heard by the Chair while he was en-
deavoring 10 secure order. and naturally
he supposed it had been made in response
10 a demand from the Chair and with
that belief the Chair had made the
suggestion he did.

fore the House certain executive commu-
nicati0ns when Mr.. Boutele made the
