As he got into his argument his voice grew louder, until on several occasions It rang out until the fretted ceiling overhead gave back the | echo. Roberts began by sending to the clerk’s desk and having read a copy of his nat- uralization papers, as he sald_that all the documents in this extraordinary case should be before the House. He then read a paragraph from “McCreary on Blec- tion: containing a general caution against hasty procedure in election con- tests, He continued: Now, gentlemen, that is the statement of one whose ‘book has authority in this country. And i it 18 the rule of the Houss of Representatives In cases that arise to the dignity of a contest, how infinitely more should that rule be ob- served when a mere protest is made Against a member Who presents himself to take the oath of office. 1 next proceed to the consideration of the charges that are supposed to justify what the gentleman trom Ohlo (Taylor) himself concedes 10 be an sual progeeding, and which my friends on has demon: ceeding.

Roberts next called attentfon to the precedent in_the Forty-third Congress in the case of Cannon, adding: 1 can add nothing to the force of that gen- tleman’s remarks, except this: that in the case of Mr. Cannon the Houss was dealing with a Delegate from a Territory, not the Representa- tive of the peopls of soverelgn State. They demand, of my and it (Great in asking no favors. were dealing with a delegate who was created | the Congress of the | Ly @ statute passed by United States. And throughout the discussion it was alleged as a reason for taking exceptions to him that they could do so because he was unprotectgd by the provisions of the constitu- ion. And yet, sir, knowing he was but a crea- tion of law, sill they admitted him as & mem- ber upon the floor of this House. It Is to be rked in this connection that, strange to . the course of mature was not disturbed twithstanding an alleged polygamist was permitted by the vote of a Republican Con- gress to remain upon the floor of this House, it @ia not transpire, as it is said it did transpire in_ancient e’a little ere the mighty Jultu tell: the grave stood tenantiess; th sheeted dead d4id not stand and gibber in the gtreets of Rome.

(Laughter.) Why, It is here to-day and 1 belleve, gentlemen of the majfor- ity, that it could survive even if It should seat the present Representative from the State of Utah, Proceeding, he took up the charge that Utah had broken her compact with the United States by the election of an alleged polygamous Representative. Lf that were true, then Utah had simply followed the fllustrious example of the present nation- al administration. “I affirm,” said he, “‘that there 18 abun- dant evidence that objections similar to those in the present case were made to the President and the Senate against the appointment of certain Federal officials in Utah, but the objections were waived asld “Do you mean to say that polygamists were appointed to Federal offices in Utah by the present executive?’ queried Hop- kins (R.) of Illinols. “With the knowledge of the President? added Grosvenor (R.) of Ohlo quickly amid some laughter on the Democratic side. “When men were applicants for Federal offices In Utah,” reiterated Robérts, jections were made and afdavits filed both with the President and the Se ertheless b- the appolntments w . “That does not answer my Question,” observed Hopkins. Roberts urged that the case ought to go to the Judiclary Committee, where 1t could be investigated. He warned the Re- publican side that this w a serfous question. the people of Utah were uilty of violating the compact with the Inion, what of the President, who had appointed to life positions In Utah men chargeable with the same offense? Roberts ridiculed the manner in which the petition favoring his expulsion haa been procured. In concluding he denled that the members who voted to seat him would be voting for polygamy. The ques- tion of roly‘nmy was settled. “I hold it as an honor,” sald he, *thas dmit this fact, and they will cer- | forget the fact that since | n that is due us— | use on the Democratic side and | I will be quoted long in Utah as one who helped to scttle that question on the tloor of the constitutional convention. 1 am not defending polygamy. It is dead.” Roberts conciuded by thanking Taylor and the House for their Induigence. He was given a round of applause as he took his seat. Dinsmore (D.) of Arkansas brieflly op- posed the Taylor resolution. Grosvenor (R.) of Ohio denounced Rob- erts’ statement concerning the appoint- ment by the President of polygamists in Utah as a miserable subterfuge. “I make the statement,”” said he, “and I defy contradiction, that the President | of the United States never knowingly ap- pointed a polygamist to office. As well might one charge that the President had lunged his stainless hands in human Eloou as to charge that he appointed to ublic office men gullty of the crime al- Fexed against the gentleman from Utah.” (Great applause on the Republican side.) “] charged and 1 reiterate It,” sald Roberts, “that men appointed to office in Utah were charged before the President and the Senate with the same misde- meanor of which it s charged I am guilty.” | ESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1899, sion of the Senate lasted two hours and forty minutes, practically the entire time THE EMPORIUM. being consumed in the reading of the Presldent's message. The reading was largely perfunctory. few Senators accord- ln% it any attention. he announcement of the death of Sen- ator-elect Monroe L. Hayward of Ne- braska was received by the Senators with sincere regret. Although he was not of- ficlally a member of the body he was well known to many of the Senators and by them was held In high regard. At the conclusion of the reading of the Presi- dent’s message the Senate adopted resolu- tions of regret for the death of Mr. Hay- ward, presented by Senator Thurston of Nebraska and as a further mark of re- spect, adjourned immediately.
