SHOULD BE SENT HOME.
81 do declare that, if the publication
! In the press is true, this man Pauncefote
ought to be ordered to take the first

and good; but If he comes here TO hatch
| conspiracies, to attempt to force MS
| wishes and his ideas upon the American
people, the sooner we are rid of him the
| better it will be.
And another thing, Mr.. Chairman,
| am only restrained from discussion of
| what l regard the most unfortunate in

| should obtain between one gentleman ana
| another. l ailude to the fact of the OPP

l do not care to so into. l will say, IN

I, stance. 1t is unprecedented in our his

Zone other matter L wish to advert to.
In the next few days we are to have

moke whether he is Prince Henry or
not? There are thousands of citizens of
this republic following the plow as noble.
as honest, as intelligent as Prince Henry
or Prince anybody else. applause on the
! Democratic Side.) Why do the american
| people give heed TO this foolish and dis
f! graceful flunkeyism enacted by the pres

goodwill, they say. What do we care
/ about the goodwill OF the German peo-
pie. Let us treat them politely as one hon
est men treats another: but why should
we bow down to these people any more
| than to any other citiZen?"

Mr.. t;rosvenor: ION the contrary, lie

government during his entire stay in the
United States and dined at the White
