MR.. BAKERS SARCASTIC RESOLUTION IT
CAUSES CoMMOTION AND ARoUSES THE IRE
OF THE DEMoCRATIC LEADERS - AFTER A
SPIRITED DISCUSSION IT Is RETURNED TO HIM.
Mr.. Baker, OF New York, created an uproar
in the House yesterday afternoon by intro
ducing a resolution ridiculing the majority OF
the House. 1t was entitled "a resolution of re-
capitulatiOn, accommodation, modest lau-
dation, and hearty congratulation by the re-
sponsible majority of the House, It extends
1rOnlcai congratulate on account of the har-
hOmy OF the two wings OF the democratic party
and the general good feeling between the party
and the President 1t then coneratulaIes the
House for all the important things it has uot
done and particularly for the failure of bills to
admit territories to statehood, the bankruptcy
bill, the Mexican pension bill, the tariff bill, of
all general pension bills, anu iOr the Presidents
vetoes. 1t is tnen resolved that the thanks OF
the country are due to the democratic party,
and much else of the same sort. It was in
dOrsed Tor reference to the steering committee"
Mr.. Reagan frequently interrupted the read
ing OF the resolution as out of order, but the
Speaker ruled that it had to be read, and when
tue reading was finished a hot political debate
follow d.
Mr. Randall moved that the resolution be
returned to its author as disrespectful to the
House.
Mr.. Baker wanted to withdraw it, but objec-
ton was made to this.
Messrs. Bayne, Baker. Randall. Reed and
Reagan took part in the debate which followed.
Mr.. Reed told in his characteristic way all
about what the House had failed to do: and Mr.
Randall aud Mr.. Reagan recounted the many
things that had been done, and how Lhe repub-
iican leaders had opposed them.
Finally MIR. kandaii's motion to return the
| resolution to MIR. Baker was adopted.
The Cutting Case.
