AS | said before, / do not think this
distinction ought to be made. 1t is
however, Il milder bill: and il any OF
you who voted With me before now
feel that for any reason you would
like to vote for this measure, do 50
and shall deem it no slight. l shall
not call for the yeas and nays | have
stated my objection to the bill. and
for one, | cannot vote for it; conse-
qucntly l move that the minority re-
port be substituted for the majority
report.
Mr.. STAPLES of Knox: Will the
senator from Cumberland permit Il
question?
Mr.. WARREN: Certainly.
Mr.. STAPLES: viii syou give us
information as to what regiment you
We're in in the Civil War?
Mr.. WARREN: served in the
First Wisconsin Regiment three
months. I afterwards served in the
Seventh Wisconsin Battery. I was a
soldier from the first call until the war
was over.
Mr.. LOONEY of Cumberland: Mr..
PRESIDENT: This memorial was re-
feIred by the Senate and House to the
committee on federal relations. After
notice and an extended hearing, at
which many of the most distinguished
officers who We're sent by Maine to
fight for the preservation of the Union
We're present, the committee, by vote
of 9 to 1. decided to report the mem
~, L, L.,
before us.
That one, or minority, was my dis
tingushed friend and colleague, Sen
ator Warren. For his character and
ability l have the highest respect and
admiration. His record in the Civil
War is the best. He was the bravest
Of the brave. l do not know which to
admire the more, his physical courage
in breasting the red surges of war that
the nation might live, or his moral
courage in opposing this memorial
which is supported by the unanimous
moral sentiment and patriotic senti-
ment of this State.
NV remarks upon this memorial
were made when the matter came be-
fore the Senate q few weeks since. To
those remarks l do not propose to add
anything more: and I now submit the
question to the Senate for its consider
alton.
Mr.. SMITH Of York; Mr.. Presi-
dent: notwithstanding the fact that
the senator from Cumberland. Mr.
Warren. stated that he should not call
for the yeas and nays, I move that
when the vote be taken, it be by the
yeas and nays.
The question being put, upon the
motion to substitute the minority re-
port for the majority report. the yeas
and nays were ordered; and the vote
being had resulted as follows: Those
