House Chaplain Turner is becoming ex-
ceedingiy unpopular with the membe rs Of
tho House despite their factional relations.
His remarks from the pulpit Of the Pres
byterian Church hero on Sunday aro re-
gardcd as insults by the Union men and
this morning thoy resented the imputation
by leaving the House before Speaker Clark
called on the Chaplain to Invoke the di-
vine blessing. On several previous occa-
sions Mr. Turner made use OF insinuations
In his prayers, and the Union mon are now
SO disguised with him that there is talk Of
a committee being appointed to ascertain
whether he did make the remarks on Sun
day which the public prints credit him
with. Regular Republicans arc in SYM
pathy with their colleagues and stand
ready TO assist them in whatever movo
they may determine to make.
Chaplain Turner when told OF the furore
his sermon had created, said" It Is baby
ishness for the Union Republicans to start
such fracas over my remarks. l will
stand by every word said in my sermon.
The member, OF tho House cannot qucs-
ton mo about remarks make in my own
pulpit II fulfill my duties satisfactorily
In the House my obligation to the Nom.
bers thon ceases They arc amenablc as
public officers from the pulpit as woll as
from tho press. l consider it ono OF the re-
quirements of the pulpit to expose corrupt
politics as we'll as immortality, and that is
simply what did oil Sunday
DR.. Turner said he preached n sermon
on "How to Have Clean Po itics," and he
said It was not Of partisan nature. n, is
charged, but was directed against corrup-
tion and bribery at elections in general.
II simply took shoo at corrupt poll
tics" explained tho chaplain, "and II so'nc
of ths members OF the House wore struck
with the shot 1t was their fault"
Tho chaplain said no did not mention
