THE SWAYNE CASE.
An Additional Minority Report Pre-
pared by Representative Parker.

An additional minority report on the
Swayne impeachment proceedings has been
prepared by Representative Parker of New
Jersey and will be filed with the report of
Representative Gillett of California. While
opposing impeachment, Mr.. Parker takes a
somewhat different view of the case than
does Mr.. Gillett. His report is very brief,
and in opposing impeachment he makes
20 eulogistic comments on the official char
acter of Judge Swayne.
Mr.. Gillett has been Withholding his re-
port in order that each member of the
committee who did not sign the majority
report might have an opportunity to sign
the minority. Seven members so far have
signed this report, but two members have
not yet signed These are Judge Thomas
of Iowa and Warner of Illinois.
Mr. Gillett has been sounding the senti-
ment on the republican side of the House
and believes that he can secure enough
votes to defeat the impeachment resolution
reported from the judiciary committee. The
question is to be taken up, according to
the present program, as soon as the ap-
preparation bills are disposed Of
