, 2d Sess. , Record, pp. 891-92. * Ibid. , p. 892. 8 An amendment to par. 8, Rule xvi. 198 THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES question, and Samuel J. Randall began to filibuster. After raising the question of consideration, he moved to adjourn. Again defeated, he moved to adjourn to a day certain. Then Reed made the point of order that dilatory motions could not be entertained pending a proposition to change the rules. This peremptory chal- lenge startled the House. It meant a fight, and members quic...kly gathered to witness the forensic duel. Randall had led the minority in the time of Thad- deus Stevens. He did not possess the latter's uncurbed acerbity, or the scintillating badinage of Elaine, but he- could be pitiless. He had dealt many trenchant blows.
