C jrtainly not on < the falsification
of The Record, v», or that he had violated this
the custom of the senate, for on
the committee was absolutely silent.
There was not, he said, a single exag¬
geration in what was inserted in The
Record as compared with what was pub¬
licly uttered on the floor. The language
not the same but the accusation
was the same, although be confessed
that the language inserted in The
Record was probably a little more
flowery than the language on the floors.

Mr. Edmunds illustrated the question
by saying;
I might *ay on tb* floor of the senate that I
believed that the (enator (Mr. East!*) mlwep-
resented the state of Louisiana, and If th*re
had been an honest vote and an honest count
in that state the senate should not have the
ensure eg the Renton orvsenoa.
Here Mr. Eustis interrupted to in¬
quire, “Why do you make that state¬
ment?”
Mr. Edmunds—I moko it becaas* I be¬
lieve It.
Mr. Eustis—O, not because its true. V
Mi. Edmunds—Alsu because It Is true as I
believe It. Now, If I mako that statement in
the senate and to-morrow there appears In
The Record an addit ional statement that tilts
was accomplished in some way bv the seuator
himself, aud that with bloody liands and
wicked intentions ho hsd managed by fraud
and violence to construct a legislature of that
character, l suppose my friend from Lou/si-
ana would say that alt that had been said
yesterday, and that it was vary proper for
me, behind his back, to havs It inserted In
Th* Record.
Mr. Edmunds was continuing when
he was Daniels, stopped who by a asked point that of order Mr. from Ed-

said he understood the senator from
Vermont to impute distinctly to the
senator from Louisiana the defense of

he took excention, on the ground that
no senator had a right to impute wrong

Mr. Daniels said that the question

Mr. Gray had said.

Thomas H. Benton in 1850, insisting
that where anything said the of words a personal spoken

and said that the senate not

ference with the absolute correctness
and reliability of The Record. Mr.
Vane, a Democratic ntefmbsr of the
