"Mr. Bingham made a reply to Mr. Butler, which is printed from the phonographic notes of the Official Reporter, as written out by himself, in the left-hand column, verbatim ... The speech, as altered and written out by Mr. Bingham's own hand, and published in the Globe by himself as the official report of his impromptu speech, is printed in the right-hand column, verbatim ... As Mr. Bingham's speech was never delivered as printed, Mr. Butler could not reply to it. Mr. Butler never saw the manuscript of either his own or Bingham's speech until both were in print."
