Grosvenor Of Ohio then took the floor.
II am going to refer now to only one thing
that the gentleman from Ohio Qentz) has
said on this patriotic OCCASION" said he,
land do not do 1t for the purpose OF elab-
Grating a speech upon this occasion. Tho
time is coming when tho gentleman will
have full opportunity to assail the presi-
dent of the United States, to send his bitter
ness and opposition across the waters to
our enemies The gentleman shall have a
full opportunity to abuse his own constitu-
ents at homo for any conservative express
sion which they may have made through
the telegraph or the mail, and he shall have
that opportunity unaffected by answers OF
mine. I wish here simply to say that the
president has asked Of congress the power
to use the army and the navy for the pur-
