offer any amendment.
Mr.. Tucker. of Wiscasset, said that he felt
it his duty to define his position on this ques-
ton. He had anxously and patiently
waited for some one in the House to take no.
tice of the course of legislation here, which,
| it seemed to him, was extravagant. The
Honorable member of the Senate from his
county seemed to hold the same view, that
the course of legislation was becoming reck-
less. He wished that he could offer what re-
marks he had to make upon some bill other
than this, that he might not be misunderstood.
He did not wish to cast any reflection upon,
or show any disrespect to the Grand Army of
the Republic, but he felt it his duty to vote
against any appropriation that is not so i'm
perative as to place the matter beyond
doubt not only of its advisability, but of its
| absolute necessity
| Mr.. Tucker said that he would like to have
the opinion of some member of the House
