Washington, Ma rch 2O-The debate
on the resolution to k ensure Bayard was
resumed today, Under an agreement
entered into yesterday to take a vote
at 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Mr. Adams of Pennsylvania favored
the resolutions and said Bayard's long
service and comman ding position as an
American made his offense more fla
grant and reprehersible. TO show that
Bayard fully recognized his position as
the representative of the whole people,
he read from a speech delivered a year
ago by Bayard at Wilmington, Del, in
which the ambassa ador said Il repre-
sent no party as ambass to Great
Britain, but my cbuntry and my own
people"
Mr.. Fairchild of New York took issue
with the majority bf the foreign affairs
committee as to the character Of Bay
ards oifense, expressing regret that the
committee had not brought in articles
Of Impeachment Instead of censure,
Bayard's utterancds, he argued, const-
tuted criminal libel within the defin-
ition Of the law and in view Of his eX-
alted position, high crime against his
country.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama, in opposi
tion to the resolution, made the first
reference to the tariff today. He said
this attack on BaYard came from Mas
sachusetts, state that believed in pro-
lection for projections sake. Mckinley
had on this floor argued in favor of
high protection for cotton ties as abso-
lutely necessary tp their protection IN
this country Cotton ties had been
placed on the free list by the Wilson
bill, yet he read a telegram from
Youngstown, Ohio chronicling the first
shipment of eottbn ties to Bombay
India.
Mr.. Hutchinson of Texas said he
would vote for THE resolutions, laying
down the well esta ablished general prin-
ciple that our representatives should
abstain from part san speeches, but he
could not vote for the resolution that
censured Bayard Ry name.
WILLIS lis OPPOSED
Mr. Willis of Delaware was the first
republican to ammo dunce that he opposed
censuring Bayard Like Mr. Hutehin-
son he said he would be willing to vote
for the second res solution, but he could
not vote for the resolution Of censure.
First. state pride would lead him to
vote against it. HP respected I}syard
a man Of force anH distinction. He did
not think. however, that he betrayed
any confidence when he said that Bay
ard was born a1istocrat. His instincts
were feudal in nature.
Proceeding, Mr.. Willis drew the mem-
bers around him III throngs and aroused
great enthusiasm both on the floor and
in the galleries BY his eulogy Of the
value of birth, right OF liberty and his
outspoken contempt for American
snobs sycophantB and simpletons who
discredited their bwn country and wor-
shipped at the fbot of the aristoeracy
and royalty Of the old world
Mr. Turner Of Georgia opposed the de-
bate for the OPPOSITION to the resolu-
tions In a strong l0-minute speech, His
theme, like that Of Bayard's at Edin-
burg would he said, "be individual
freedom, the germ of national prosperi-
ty and progress. a theme worthy Of
that noble cheValier With contempt he
described the triumphant republican
party turning away from it's duty ,o
visit its wrath and Indignation upon q
member of his PARTY for a trivial act
What a prodfgyE What an exploit in
politics. The QUESTION was not whether
Bayard had Violated good taste but
whether ii was good taste for the houss
TO condemn for what he had done.
He then proceeded to recall Chana
ler's interview and the charge of levy
ing on the protect I'd Industries by tn,
Mckinley agents.
Mr. Grosvenor tried vainly to inter
rupt Mr.. Turner
You have hap your time" said Nj
Turner. When you stood over TN
grave of General Sehcnek yesterda'

In the face Of such a state of things
Mr. Speaker" he continued. II ask
u IS not strange coincidence that tn
demonstration should follow the stata
thent as the thlnder follows the light

Speaking still of the charges of pe
luoal eorruptibn, he said the add
'on was now going on. the "divisio
anu silence" wpuld come later.
