COME HOME, Mr.. BAYARD.

( by Allison, condemning Ambassador
/ Ravard and asking his recall was read
the third time.
Allison called for the roll call.
/ Senator Warner moved the tabling
! of the memorial, which was lost on a
strict party vote.

! the majority of the senate wanted to
/ do an injustice. He read from The
! Herald's report of the letters of Mr..
/ Ravard. and remarked that the senate
had nothing to act upon save the
/ vague results Of the imagination OF
! the senator from Weber" While the
senator may believe he can secure
partisan benefit, it is a fact that moth
! ing is before the senate for action.
| Congress has as yet done nothing, and
for the legislature of Utah to condemn
! Mr.. Bayard is like a justice of the
peace condemning an individual for
| contempt of the supreme court. He
! deprecated and deplored the introduce
ton of the memorial. the consideration
! Of which was consuming the valuable
time of the senate which should be
devoted to making laws. The reso-
! from Weber some little notoriety but

Allison, replying, said he did not
want any notoriety, but Bayard should

where he speaks he is looked upon as

ambassador and construe the same ac-
