Mr.. Zimmerman, of Sandusky, presented
the following protest relating to the adoP-
ton of the resolution thanking the Cover
nor for his action relating TO the rebel nag:
The undersigned members Of the Senate
Of the 6sth General Assembly Of the State
| of Ohio, exercising the rights guaranteed in
Section 10, Article >, of the Constitution Of
Ohio that "any member of either House
shall have the right To protest against any
act or resolution thereof; and such protest
and the reason therefor shall without al
| teration, commitment or delay, be entered
| upon the journal protest against the
adoption of the Senate resolution No. IL.
| Here follows the resolution AS pulishcd
| yesterdsy.l
As reasons for this, our protest, We will
state that the so-called rebel flag order
was due 10 the INSTRUCTED activity on the
| part of Adiu:ant General Drum, U. 5. A., .
gallant Union soldier. who evidently tried
f! to make for himself q record North and
South of extraordinary magnanimity by
| following the lamented Charles Summers
advice with reference TO the return of the
captured battle fags. General Drum pre-
sented this matter orally To President Cleve-
| land, who did not take the time TO carefully
examine the subject on account Of the en-
| crossing nature of the duties Of the Presi-
Dental Office. The President was shortly
afterwards advised of the illegality Of the
proceedings and rescinded the order about
| noon on the 10th day OF June. 1887, stating
| Il am OF the opinion that the return Of the
| flags in the manner thus contemplated Is
not authorized by existing law nor justified
/ Is an executive act," and requested that no
| further steps be taken in the matter except
| to examine and make an inventory of the
hass and adopt proper u measures to- tor th,n Their
Is to the final disposition of them should
originate with Congress" We are advised
| from reliable sources that this matter wss
decided before any news had beea received
At the Executive Mansion Of the dispatches
sent at the request Of General H. '. Boynfoa,
by Governor Foraker to Hon. George :.
Boutwell, and Hon. H. V. Boynton in WASH
inE,on; .,,u. ,.o,.r. ,,. .,.,.u.,, .,,.
tained in the aforesaid 5. x. No. ii that
Governor Foraker's words and acts forced
the President and his Cabinet 10 rescind the
| order to surrender the flags 10 be unqali-
| 6edly false. While We do not call in 4ues-
ton the many manly virtues and the
ability of Governor Foraker. We do not
claim as an everlasting truth that the spirit
of demagoguery which manifests itself in
the stirring up of sectional hatred twenty
three years after the close of our civil strife
Is rs far away from patriotism on the one
side rs the spirit of rebellion is on the
other We further declare that the 6Oal
action of President Cleveland meets our
hearty approval, and that the resolution
referred to meets our unqualified disap-
proval and decided condemnation for the
reasons above set forth.
The protest is signed by all the Demo
cratic Senators. 1t WAS taken under advise
ment by the President pro tem., who VIII
