"You're confined to the bill." "We'll talk about anything we like within the bill," retorted Mr. Raney. Then the Speaker concluded the matter. He had intended. said he, _ even before Mr. Ferguson spoke, ruling on the situation. "No such - . latitude will be given in the balance of this debate as has been given ' here today." said he.
