ALLISON AFTER AMBASSADOR
BAYARD
Senator Sutherland occupied several
moments in suggesting minor amend
ments to the rules all of which were
incorporated and then Senator Allison,
who halls from the city on the north,
| distinguished himself by offering the
| following, which will be known as SEN
ate concurrent resolution No. 2:
Whereas, Thomas f. Bayard, am
bassador of the United States to Great
Britain, on divers occasions in public
meetings in the empire to which he is
! accredited. has descended from the
high dignity of his American citizen
! ship to cast reflections upon the
power of the people of the United
! States to govern themselves and upon
/ the justice Of the laws of his country;
and,
Whereas, Such attitude by him is in
violation of every sanctity which
should surround the utterances of am
bassadors concerning their own lands,
and is a direct encouragement to the
monarchial sentiment of Europe and an
unmerited stigma upon the rule of
free people; and.
Whereas. 1t is the duty of our ma
ton and all its servants to honorably
labor for the spread of liberty until the
mighty day when no shadow of a
throne occupied by an earthly mon
arch shall be cast across the pathway
of men: now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the senate, the house
concurring, that we do hereby express
our sentiment of condemnation of the
J1t 90 Of I'D nm
bassador as aforesaid, and do most
respectfully urge that he be recalled to
this country to learn anew the grand
eur of its Institutions
Senator Snow moved to table the
resolution, which was seconded by Sen
ator Wlarrum. This action on the part
of the minority caused the senator
from the north to say that he did not
wonder at their action. He would have
said a great deal more had it not been
for the fact Of the chair sustaining
point of order by Snow to the effect
that the motion was not a debatable
one.

strict party vote, ayes Il, noes 5. the
