Reed and Bland Have "a Tilt.
Air. Reed remarked that il seemed TO
linn hard that speakers on the hepup-
llean side. who had made Just as much
rr.uafatiou as those on the other SIDE
who had spoken, should be cut off without
an opportunity to express themselves
Mat the House should have before II
only the views of the gentlemen from
Missouri.
alr. Bland made an interruption at this
point Wllth caused AIR. kefd 70 eN-
claim: "Thc gentleman from Missouri rs
SO accustomed TO interrupt speakers that
IA a. normal condition.
AIR. Bland. "Wen. IL Is q habit learned
from the gentleman from Maine.
Nr. Reed. "Oh, yes. OF course. You
learned il from me. 4 wish you would
learn some other things from me, as

Proceeding, AIR Reed said il was hard
that the Republicans had to be bound
over 10 keep the peace IA ordei 10 se-
the right OF debate
The fact that the gentlemen on the
other side had had the opportunity 10
relieve themselves 10y the delivery OF
their speeches was no reason why the
gentlemen on his side should not similar
ly relieve themselves. There was no call
for cS,rcion.
