Inc heSolutlons Censurlng bayard VIII DC
Adopted by strict Party Vote.
Washington, March 19.-Under an
agreement reached just prior to the ad-
journment Of the House to-day the vote
on the resolutions TO censure Mr.. Bay
ard will be taken at 2 O'Clock to-mor-
row. The debate on the resolutions at
times drifted into discussion OF the
merits of protection as an economic
policy. Mr.. Tucker (Dem., Va), who
made the principal speech in oposition,
defended Mr.. Bayard's utterances and
Senator Chambers interview was again
brought forward as a vindlcation of Mr..
Bayard's statement that protection
tended TO corrupt public life. The Re
publicans wed with each other in up
holding and eulogizing protection. Mr..
Parson, of North Carolina, announced
that the candidate who would be nom
mated at st. Louis would be he
who measured up most nearly to
the ideal standard, the living imperson-
alton of the doctrine of protection"
Mr.. Barrett, of Massachusetts,, and
Mr.. Grosyenor, of Ohio, also spoke.
There is no doubt that the resolutions
will be adopted tomorrow by a strict
party vote.
Mr. Tucker, Dem, Va a member Of
the foreiSn affairs committee, was the
first speaker to-day in opposition to
the rule. Mr. Tucker argued that the
Republicans were deluding themselves
with the idea that Mr.. Bayard's charac-
teriZation of the American people was
Do, 11r- bi, nj
the description of them as a strong,
sel'-confident, and often-times violent
notion of men who seek to have their
own way" That was a glorious de-
cription of the Anglo-Saxons as a
people. He argued that the American
people were sometimes VIOLENT He
cited the strikes at Chicago and other
places, the mob violence at New Or
leans, the ealing out of the military
few days ago at Kentucky.
Mr. Tucker. like Mr.. Dinsmore, refer
red to the Chandler interview, charg-
ing that the protected industries had
been levied on by the Mckinley agents
and that these industries would own
him and make merchandise of him, if
elected"
After some brief remarks by Mr.. Nc
Call, (Rep., Mass.,) in favor of the reso-
lutions, Mr. Barrett, Rep., Mass.0 the
author of the original resolutions Of
impeachment, took the floor.
At the conclusion o. Mr. Barrett's
speech, an agreement was effected for
taking vote at o'clock tomorrow.
Mr.. Gibson Rep., TENN and Mr..
Sulzer Dem, New York; enlivened the
proceedings before the close with some
informal remarks about the valor OF
Republicans who assailed Thomas F.
Bayard when he was not present to
defend himself He devoted most of his
time to Mr.. Gibson, Of Tennessee, dis
playing to the House a circular which
he said was sent out under Mr.. Gibson S
frank descriptive OF his qualifications
ms a candidate, and entitled: Rally
boys, once again. Send Gibson back
TO Congress and the country is saved. u
Mr.. Gibson, with flushed and angry
face, jumped to his feet, and shouted
out that a man who would make such
a charge was coward.
81 did not hear the gentleman's re-
marks" said Mr. Sulzer, who declined
TO yield, but l suggest that the next
time he addresses me he use a trum-
pet"
Later, however. Mr.. Sulzer accepted
Mr. Gibson's disclaimer that the circu-
lar referred to had been sent out un-
der his frank. He had been so inform
ed, however.
THE statement is an infamous false
hood" shouted Mr.. Gibson, "and your
informer originated a vile slander, and
you are no better that he is"
II decline to yield" said Mr.. Sulzer
When Mr.. Sulzer sat down, Mr.. Glib
son got the floor and made a brief reply,
in which he denied that he nad franked
the circular.
Mr.. Sulzer had, he said, fourished
a picture of him before the House. He
would in return give a pen picture OF
Mr.. Sulzer.
He thereupOn read amid howls OF
laughter a description of Mr. Sulzer
from the New York World. which re-
marked on Mr.. Suffers resemblance to
Henry Clay and spoke of him as Mr.
SedlitZ Powder.
when the gentleman goes home
to New York." Mr.. Gibson concluded,
"and is asked what he has done, he will
reply: I abused Gibson laughter
Mr.. Sulzer responded in a good tenn
pered and humorous speech.
