TO go TO Senator Wolcott after he had
concluded his remarks and express
their appreciation of what he had said.
A Lying Preamble.
Mr. Dolph Republican), of Oregon,
stated he fully agreed with what the
, but he called attention to other obJec-
tionable features of the preamble to
the resolution. No one denied the right
of the citizens of the United States to
peaceably assemble to petition Congress
or to visit the Capitol. His objection
to the resolution lay in the fact II was
accompanied by lying preamble

authorities of the District of Columbia.
Mr. Gray, of Delaware, also condemn

which made our roads so picturesque in

Mr.. Allen defended his action in in
PRODUCING the resolution, and spoke for
some time. In the course of his speech
he called these gatherings the 'spon-
taneous uprising of American citizens
against wrong and oppression" It
was, he said, peaceable gathering Of
men engaged in a peaceable project.
Does the senator apply that to the
army of the Commonweal which stole
a train at Butte, killed two deputy
marshals, and whom the United States
troops are now trying to capture?"
asked Mr.. Wolcott
Mr.. Allen refused to be drawn onto
this ground. He declared he was a

ness. He criticised the action of the

ing CoXey's army against entering the
District.
