collar and would do his duty honor
ably as n member OF the committee
on platform.

slumberiny volcano and that such a
harmless motion rs he had made
would provoke such a lengthy dis
cussion and arouse so much feeling.

motion. He could see no harm in it's
adoption.

said he had no apologies to make for
anything he had snid on the floor OF
