Il want TO put against the gentleman
at the other end of the avenue, men like
Calhoun, Clay and Webster ne said,
''and | prefer to take their judgment on
legal questions rather than that of the
man who now occupies the presidential
chair. He has repudiated his own party;
he has repudiated the courts of the
United States, and now he proposes to
repudiate congress. This is not Il mat
ter for the president to settle. If we
propose to let him dictate what bills are
to be passed, we might as well go home
Mr.. Grosvenor (Rep.) of Ohio, said the
president had Illuminated rehash of all
the state Democratic arguments for re-
pudiating these claims had been delber-
ately misstated the facts, as there were
no insurance claims in the amendment.
He continued: This occupant of the
presidential chair has done more to bring
into disrepute the veto power than all
his predecessors because he has defed
public opinion. defied congress and
trampled on the rights of congress TO APP
propriate money for the expenses of the
government.
.'The president in recent message"
he concluded. had said that patriotism
in this country was at a low ebb, but it
should be news that the people of this
country were counting on the few re-
naming days that the president had in
office and must look to him for patriot
ism"

ed Mr.. Savers. "He has no right to in
dulge in such talk regarding the presi-
dent"
Mr.. Brumm shouted back excitedly:
Il am responsible for all | say and am
ready to answer for it at the proper
time
Your responsibility, Mr.. Sayers yell
ed in Il sarcastic tone, does not amount
to anything
Yours does not amount to any more"
retorted Mr.. Brumm.
Speaking of the arguments of the veto.
Mr.. Brumm declared that they were
"intended as Il cheat, fraud and a
falSehoOd."
When he had finished. Mr.. Savers as
serted that ''the language of the gentle
man from Pennsylvania is not only I'M
parliamentary but absolutely indecent"
Mr.. Willis (Rep.) of Delaware-Why
do you not protest against the moral
lectures that the president sees fit to in
tlict upon this congress and the insnua-
tons that he INDUCES in?
Mr.. Sayers-The president is fulfilling
his duty.
