| hoped that would be again re-enacted
by another year,
Later in the session of the committee
| Representative Gum walked in. Then
Mr.. Goodwin arose and after reading
the account of the meeting between
himself and Mr. Gum yesterday he
said:
Mr.. Gum said he wanted me to
come before this committee and apollo
gize for what | said yesterday. To-day
| learned that Mr.. Gum had called me
a liar in the house. l will ask Mr..
Gum now if he is an attorney of the
| Consolidated road"
MIR. Gunn-Mr. Goodwin is a man who
for years has pursued an occupation
useful to himself and his friends of OBJ
| tanning useful information. The state
ment | made concerning him in the
house to-day was very fair, did say
| that If any one should state that l was
a paid attorney, in the house or else
where, of the Consolidated road, he was
an unmitigated liar. There is rumor
| in the community that Mr.. Goodwin Is
a crank and a maniac on certain legis-
| lation; but he would not want me to
say that of him before this committee.
! Now, l am not an attorney of the rail-
road, either on the floor of the house
or elsewhere; but will say that l have
| been an attorney in the matter of look
| ing up certain land records for the COM
| pany in my town. But / would say to
| the company and to Mr.. Goodwin that
these duties have not in the least inter-
fered with my duties as a member of
the house year after year, and will not
affect my duties as legislator. Keep
prodding on in your work of stirring
up this railroad corporation if you are
disposed to, Mr., Goodwin; but you will
not command the respect of any one by
reiterating that am the paid attorney
of that company on the floor of the
house of representatives,
