said il took a real man to govern the
people of the United States, Mr.. Gros-
venor interposed to ask if he (McCreary)
believed the president governed the peo-
ple. If so. whether he governed the Dem
ocratic party and especially whether
he governed the gentleman from Ken
lucky on any public question
Mr.. McCreary replied lightly that he
supposed Mr.. Grosvenor was trying TO
have a little fun at his expense. Seri-
ously. however, he replied to Mr.. Gros-
yenor's question in the affirmative. He
was always willing, he said, to uphold
the president of the United States when
he was dicharging his duties under the
constitution.
Mr.. Draper Rep., Mass.), a member
of the committee, in a few words ex-
planned his position against the reso!u-
tions of censure. This was not, ne
thought, a time for sensationalism. we
had trouble enough, he thought, pres
ent and prospective, in our foreign re-
lationS without censuring our chief DIP
lomatic representative. He agreed that
Mr.. Bayard's utterances wer hardy
proper but did not think they merited
such harsh action. The last resolution,
deprecating partisanship by diplomatic
representatives, he thought entirety
proper. He therefore, asked that the
resolutions be divided and a separate
vote taken on each.
COUSINS SKINS HIM.
Mr.. Cousins Rep., la, also a mem
Der of the committee, supported the
resolutions.
This deliberate and unexampled
breach of diplomatic etiquette, said MI:
Cousins, this ungrateful, unproked
70 IA
of the people of America, to her distin-
guished living, and to her honOred dead,
by one who bore their confidence, their
mission and credentials. must not be
left unchallenged, since 1t has entered
the annals of our diplomatic history.
Mr. Bayerd,' he declared, toadied to
the Golden club and TO the School OF
Manchester, and to his own prejudice
told Great Britain that protection IN
America had banished men Of independ-
ent mind and character from It's pub
lie councils, when he knew that the list
of illustrious advocates, beginning with
the distinguished names Of Washington
and Madison and Franklin, had never
ceased to grew where progress marked
the way until it had recorded in the reg
lister of independent minds and fame
the names of Clay, of Jackson and Of
Garfield, of Randall and of Blaine, and
he knew that almost on the very day
he uttered that indictment that the list
of independent minds that champion
the doctrine of protection in America
had grown to the greatest and most
significant majority in this country. He
knew when he uttered that libel on the
memory Of the greatest statesmen OF
America, that if you should blot out the
names that identify the doctrine of pro-
lection in our history you would leave
it dreary desert, as Insignificant and
barren Of that achievement as DisraelPs
grandfather's chapter OF events that
never took place.
S-NEVERMORE."
"But last of all our ambassador con-
fdes to Edinburgh the startling news
that protection in America danger
ously depletes the treasury"
'Why, Mr.. Speaker, everyone in Edin-
burgh knows that the champions of
protection took the treasury of the Unit
ed States when there was nothing in II
but a Democratic free trade vacuum and
filled it with gold and silver coin. 1t
took the credit of the republic, sunken
to disgrace in the hands of the Demo-
cracy, and made it as good as the mont
ed powers of Europe; so good that Wen
dell Phillips declared that our funds
sold as we'll in Europe as English con-
soils and that the universal union could
borrow money as cheaply as Great Brit
ain. And from the time the party Of
protection took the treasury there was
never a deficiency for twenty-five years
until the black raven of free trade
perched again above our treasury door
and hooted surplus, surplus-never-
more"
mo, Mr.. Speaker, our ambassador to
Great Britain has not only violated the
regulations of his commission, not only
| been false to his position, but false to
| the facts of his country. Who would

j after the eyes of the immortal Lincoln
were closed in martyrd death amid the

and grateful land; that within so brief
| a time the ambassador of his country

| the dignified and delicate requirements
! of his high position as thus to stigma

exemplifiers of one of the first and dear
est principles of the great emancipa-

Mr. Cousins speech aroused great en-
| thusiasm. He concluded with a burst
| of elOquence that set the house a1ame.
Men streamed up the aisles TO offer their

MODEST MIR. DUNSMORE.
Mr.. Dunsmore Oem. Aurk) opposed

/ said. the speech of Mr.. Cousins. He
must rely on the strength of his cause.
| This remark provoked jeers from the

Gentlemen may jeer," said he, but
when I examine these resolutions and

! there is no strength in this cause"
If Mr. Bayard had done nothing 10

original resolutions to impeach him been
pressed? There was, he affirmed, moth

protection and defended them. He
