tho Idea of n compact between the States
had been toe father of seccsjlon h o lcj
out by the lives of half a million men Mr
LUtlellclds defense of tho prdposat of tho
minority that tho house had a right to ex-

Ho aroused a groat deal of enthusiasm

K This tW nfts 0v er Wheeler No moro patriotic senti
meat permitted them to override the plain
dictates of their duty
At the conclusion of Mr Llttleflelds
speech Mr Taylor renewed his request lor
has an agreement for a vote at 30 o clock
the house possess that it uot at some
time AbUsed7 What branch of Hk govern This was objected to and Mr Roberts wai
went is it that having power has not at then given one hour and n half In which
some time abused It What niau what to present his side of the caSe
body of men clothed with a brief au The two arguments Just presented
thcrlty hat been free from an unwise Mr Roberts began made It apparent
abuse of that authority And ehall they thcro was a difference of opinion us to tho
therefore bo shorn of power It Is it mighty method of proecodure In the case o < tho
question it Is a question of govcrmontal member from Utah From his standpoint
life H U not to be lightly dealt with or he could agree with neither vlow present
Inconsiderately answered Tun case ofcd 1 find myself In the position said
Roberts sinks Into insignificance In Its he if I might say with propriety a
presence I should assert What I here plague on both sides nines both proposed
serf with precisely tho same solctnulty It my undoing Laughter Dut ha
the right of expulsion after admission was continued tho situation Wob not altogether
absolutely clear It we do not exclude without Its advantage Ho was convinced
this man we strike down one of the most
vital and necessary pawori that belong
to a great legislative body Let not such
a thing bo done It It Is not wo may bo
euro that never again while the spirit of
tlvlllzatlon dominates this Republic will
any defiant violator of law under color or
relation 6r any other claim whether
polygamist or murderer knock for admis-
sion at tbo door of tho American con-
gress
Mr Taylor was emphatic In his asser-
tions that exclusion was In harmony with
precedent expulsion In violation of it
Ha amplified the three grounds for Mr
Roberts exclusion Ilrst because of his
violation of tho Edmunds act second be
cause bo was living In open flagrant and
notorious violation of tho statutes of the
congress he nceko to outer and third be
cause his flection was a violation of the
compact by which Utah was admitted Into
the Union There ivrre no domonstra
tlons throughout Mr Taylors speech but
at tht conclusion he was vigorously ap
applauded
Mr Llttlcflold fMalnel on bohalf of the
minority of the committee then arose In
support of tho minority plan of seating and
ihen expelling Mr Roberts Mr Utile
Held stalwart and tall made a deep im-
pression upon the houso In bis maldeu
speech Ho recounted at tho outset the
Integrity honesty and ability of the ma-
jority of the committee but ho could not
roncede its Judgment The only I iUe be-
tween tho majority and minority > ax nS
to whether Roberts should bo excluded or
expolled The constitutional quallflcs
ilohv ages and Inhabitancy Mr 1IUH
fWd argued could not bo added to if
they could and the house now excluded a
member because ho wsb guilty of polyg-
amous practices next year It might ex-
clude for adultery or becnuco a member
Tas an attorney for a trust or au octopus
or for any other reason The right of rt
member to his seat was a constitutional
right He took issue with the majority
as to the power of tho houso to expel a
wctnber for acts committed before his en-
trance Into tbo houee citing case after
case in support ot his contention Klmt
ho went back to tho case of John Wlltccs
the famous Kngllsh champion ot free
tpfoch whowas tbreo times excluded and
twice expelled from tbo house of commons
tha second time for an net for which he
had been sent to prison five years before
He quotes from Junius lctttrs the denun-
ciation of tho damnaido doctrine that a
plngle houso ot parliament could alter
suspend or abrogate the law of the land
He went back to the constitutional debates
to prove that congrtss could not add to
tho qualifications of members After de-
pleting the conditions that surrounded tbo
framing of this provision of tho constitu-
tion and quoting tho words ot Madison
Hamilton and Jefferson he asked trium-
phantly who there was who could shatter
the crucible of history which surrounds
it or declaration of tho wcu who framed
It Who would undertake to Impeach tho
Integrity of the men who were present at
the dawn of our history
Some of the precedents cited by Mr
Taylor were ridiculed by Mr Llttlcfleld
Ho also challenged Mr Taylors authori-
ties Mr Llttleficld said that the majority
wnro driven back to support their conten-
tion for additional qualifications upon tha
general welfare clause of tho constitution
He won tho first burst of npplnuso while
ridiculing the attempt of tho majority to
disposo of Justice Storeys opinion stating
that he bad not sought to glvo bis own
Ideas but only the Ideas of others They
would make him tbo Rosswell of tho con
otltutlon Great laughter Mr Ilttlo
flold said the minority stood with llurke
the statesmen ot the Klghteonth century
lth John Furson Madlstin Hamilton
Governor Morris and tho men who framed
the constitution with the decision ot tho
courts of Maryland Montana and Virginia
with the opinions of Storey Cooloy John
Randolph Tucker and Webster Ho then
thallenged Mr Taylors atatcmcut that
so precedent existed against exclusion
citing the case ot Benjamin Stark In tho
senate In 18SJ who was charged with dis
loyalty yet who was seated by tho senato
without prejudice to subsequent citation
against blm The majority he pointed
Out had cited this case but had not In
formed the house ot this fact
belleve said Mr Llttleaeld coq
tiudlng his comment on this particular
case that Mr Roberts has a full consti
tutional right to a seat In this houso
Thq applause which swept over tho floor
with tho minority that the house had no
right 10 exclude htm and with tbo major-
ity that once admitted he could not bo
expelled Between the two sAld ho
matters fall out about as I would havi
then and substantially Justice will bo
done Renewed laughter Mr Roberts
gavo notice that ho should appropriate
tho arguments ot tho majority against ox

In response to this statement extended to high and exalted ad It Is frequently f fl
uorescein the Roberts Incident with It tho galleries many of the ladles th r versea itscir Wo remember thjt It hjb
defiance of the constitution ond tho law present participating The passions of tamed the constitutionality dt tbo WjsJti
ana Its denlalqf Its validity and auprcim tbo Var had not cooled when the Whlto stavo law and that Hit dewlsioas ad loin
acy m to him would hav said Hrlshara more cam was tried Mr Llttlcfield s ld overturned by the people by ravolttlil4
11 Roberts Is eligible and must be seated ij0 ag > ej where the Authority for the in tenets as welt as revolutions Ju
t elected say that no ucht provision It could statement that there was nn understand armg 1 bcc upon tiie Hoor ot tal haus
could haw been adopted and If
not It can not be implied
IMuch Is said about the moral aspect
of till question Doubtless It has such a
aide and If that Were the only considera-
tion before1 Us the house might take the
Mine action It will take nut I dont here
and how irifnee of tho great fundamental
act of the disobedience to law plus Auda-
cious defiance of It care to assert the
moral ground
Mr Speaker I do not hesitate to sub
log between a State and tho United States a man belonging to a race who If < atwuluio
come from Eloquently ha declared that nubmisslvenees to tine decisions of the ni
prerao court was to be the lost of toa ipd
versy would havo beenhnt a pled of
goods ewl chattels in thll country iHstoal
of being a gentleman of the houie o rop
rcscntAtlvcc So W thought bollevlug as
we did in tho righteousness of our doc-
trine wo hoped there might spring up an
opcaslnn that would lead to a rovers ot
tho opinion but It did not cpmo and Mr
Roberts with xnns outstretched npjeaoj
to tho country tot to be tos hard un the
people of Utah He describe tho condi-
tion hat existed iu Utah In lt > 82 as a
reign of terror Tho Federal courtg woro
being used he said to drive women luo
oxllo A man was brought before the
court Ho was told that Jio need not go to
prison If ho would give up palygamy
But then said Mr Roberts dramati-
cally i felt it would havo been deserting
tho cduso of Clod to hwo agreed
A scattering wave ot upplnuso s ept
over tho galleries at th utterance but It
Wft quickly drowned with hUtcs
I bad rather had ray flesh hewn from
my llnubB than to have been untrue to
my people It was this feeling that was
an incentive to lawlessness Bin the time
cumo when Mormons ot Utah wcro obilg d
to submit aud they did ntlbmlt Slnde
l then there had been Uot a slnglo plural
I marriage in Utah Tho plural relations
had been broken up in many cases Cath
bad kindly solved tho problem for aomo
ot tho heartaches und itleft somo who
wished tho same end had come for thoni
Ho Insisted that tho compact with the
United Stntcs had been observed that
polygamy had practically censed that the
Mormon church had given up polygamy
In good faith
Mr Roberts said he baa been fu public
Hfo for twenty years and was not driven
to tho dcfen ot his moral chnracter Ho
I waa not hero representing tho Mormon
churoh Ho had received u creator nutu
tiev of votes from tho Geutlles than from
constitutional qualifier i
lions wore admitted by both the majority the Mormons You can never exclude or
nnd minority of the committee and ho dc i expel me Bald he in conclusion I will
flared that tho members of the house If
they had regard to tho constitution of
their country would call him baek to tho
bar from which bo had been Improperly
turned away Ho warned tho bouse 4tat
nations fell because they dropped from
their traditions If a nation Indulged lu
constitutional Immorality it did as did
the Individual who was gulty of physical
cling so hard to tho pillars of liberty thai
you shall not drug niu from them without
bringing down tho wfoolo tcmplo Ap
plnuso nnd hlsson I havo lived with a
good conscience until thla day and uui
sensible of no net ot shame upon my part
inn can brand ma with shame and send
tnn forth but t shall llvn with head erect
ond brow undaunted and walk the earth
Immorality He besecched the houso not i angels walk iho cloudn if you vlolato
to yield to the clamor of unthinking peo
ple What wsa the emergency for tbls
proposed departure from th < > constitution
A man who had married In the sanctiiy
of the church a plurality of wives had
been elected to congress The cry had
gono up that tho American homo was en-
dangered and these extraordinary prncojd
ings had been inaugurated against him
For a few moment said Mr Roberts
I waul to pay attention to tho nature
of this rrime not with n view ot showing
that the American people havo not tho
right to establish monogamy as a system
of marriage that shall prevail nnd not for
tho purpose ot defending polygamy either
for In the early debate that tool placs
with reference to this csne on tho door
of the houso I then declared that J am not
hero to represent polygamy nor to defend
It We hav6 long ago passed Hint stago
and the thing U out pt the realm ot tho
discussion I do not wish my roniarlu
construed ns a defense of polygamy but I
do want to call attention to tho nature of
this crime In order that wo may ascertain
where It Is o awful In its aspect as to
the constitution all ibo ahamo will be
with you
There waa n great outburst of npplauso
in tho galleries when Mr RnberU con-
cluded
Many of the ladies In tho galleries were
especially demonstrative
At 530 p m tho houso adjourned until

Mr noberts then explained the Mormon
belief in polygamy cd ald tho church
thought their creed on this polat came
within the constitutional Inhibition of laws
prohibiting tho free exercise ot religious

Washington January 23 The reports ot
the committee on privileges and elections
on tho caso of Senator Matthew Quay who
claims a seat In tbo senate by appoint
ment ot the governor of Pennsylvania
today reached the senate The majority
opposes the seating of Senator Quay and
was signed by Senators Caffory Pottus
Turley Harris and Burrows tho last
named tho only republican signing Tho
minority report bears tho signatures ot
Senators Hoar Chandler Prltchard and
McComas all republicans and advocates
the giving of the seat to Mr Qua >
Tho majority report first views the cir-
cumstances under which Mr Quays ap-
pointment wns made Including the failure
of tho Pennsylvania legislature to elect
a senator It then says After a vacancy
In the office of United States senator It
comes to pass it tbo next legislature does
not fill lt It continues to exist It Is tho
same vacancy not a new one Now the
Stale executive is given power to make
temporary appointments lu case ot a va-
cancy not as long as lt continues to exist
but ONLY UNTIL THE NEXT MEET-
ING OF THE LEGISLATURE which Is
then required to fill the vacancy This
clearly means that the paramount Intent
to havo tho legislature choose the senators
to pievall and that whenever the legis-
lature has bad tho opportunity to fill tho
vacancy cither before or otter lt occurs
thn executive has no power to ao pnlnt
and we take the phraso If vacancies liny
pen by resignation or otherwise during
tho rececs ot the legislature cf nny State
If wo cpneedo that the gonfral word
otherwise Is not qualified nor limited by
tho specific word resignation and that
It Includes vacancies which are caused by
efflux of time and which can be foreseen
as well ns vacancies which nro caused
by a casualty or the happening of an un-
expected event and which ran not be fore-
seen ptlll It must be complete and dclned
with reference to the balance of tho phrase
ro as to glvo effect to all its parts and
thus it results that the vacancy no matter
how It Is produced must happju take
place or begin DUniNT A RECESS OF
THE LEGISLATURE This of itself would
bo decisive against Mr Quays claim
Continuing the report says Thus con
strufd this clause ot fho ccnstitutlon af-
fords every facility for always keeping
the senato filled with 3enator3 who are the
real representatives of their r petlvo
Statrs A senator who Is chosen by the
legislature of his State Is likely to be the
choice of the majority of the citizens of
his State A senator who is appointed by
an executive s frequently only tho per-
sonal or political favorltf of tho executive
The legislature as wo coustruo the clause
chocses tho senator In the first instance
If he declines to serve or dle3 bttorn he Is
Inducted Into office or It qualifying he
dies resigns or Is expelled tho executive
may mite a temporary appointment until
the legislature meets again or it owing
to changes in the State constitutions the
IdglsIaturo whtoh Is authorized to fill the
term at Its commencement can iot meet
until after tb > term has commenced tho
executive can also make a temparary ap-
pointment Every contingency Is thus pro
vided for extcpt the sole contingency tbat
the legislature fall to perform IU sworn
duty Against a contingency of this kind
th framers of tho constitution did not in-
tend to provide
Aitter discussing pt length the circum-
stances under which the constitution wns
tamed the majority announces its cou
clution as follows Wo think that the
framers of tho constitution never contem-
plated nor intended to provide for i case
where a State by its own deliberate art
should deprive Its legislature nf the power
to fill an entire term at Its beginning In-
cur opinion they never Intended to glvo
the executive of n Stato tho power to flU
a term by original appointment unless
pessfbly in casos where the legislaiurb
had chosen and the p rson elected hud
refused to accent or died before qualify
ing In other words c conclude that the
power of appointment was not to bo ex-
ercised unless the vacancy occurred in tho
recess nf tho legislature and was occa
sioned by somo casualty like death or res
ignation
Tho report then quotes numerous preco
drats beginning with the case of Konsey
8 0 neaware In 17D4 and closing
with the case ot Henry W Corbet of Ore
gon In 1S98 It then ends as follows Tho
statement of theBo cases and precedents
show that from the beginning of the gov
ernment down to tho present time tho
senate has never recognized tho right of a
State executive to makr a temporary ap
pointment where the
vacancy happened or
rcdurlDS a session ofthe legisla
ture t
It shows

vacancy happened or occurred during a re
