of 16 to passed the resolutions. but
when they came to the House success
full opposition developed. The reso-

one Lorimer, representing the state of
Illinois, obtained a seat in the United
States Senate by bribery, fraud and
corruption.

ators at Washington be requested to
carefully consider the sentiment of the
people of the state of New Hampshire,
which appears to be that said Lorimer
should not be allowed to retain his seat
in the United States Senate and
BE it further resolved, that the Sec
retary of state be instructed to mail a
copy of these resolutions to each init
ed States senator at Washington
