FOR "UNAMERICAN UTTERANCES.'
A Speech Delivered In Edinburgh, Scotland,
In Which he Denounced Protection as

Washington, Doe. 11. Reprosontntlvo
William K. Barrett, of Massachusetts, en
joys tlio illstlnotlou of being tho author of
the first thrilling Incident In the present
house of representatives. Ho throw u
bombshell into, thnt body soon nf lor itcon
voued by offering a resolution impeaching
Thomas V. Unyard, ex-secretury of Mute,
nud now United States ambassador to tho
court of St. Juntos, for high r.rlmcs and
misdemeanors. Tho grounds advanced In
tho rosolutlon wero tho utterances of Air.
Bayard delivered boforo tho Edinburgh,
Scotland,PlilU)sophlcal Institute on Nov. 7.
In this speech Mr. Bayard spoke of
"protection" as a form of "stato social
Ism," and said It had douo more to "foster
ilass legislation, breed Inequality, cor
rupt public life, lower tlio tono of national
representation and dlvorco ethics from
politics" than any other slnglo cause.
Such reflections on tho government policy
TIIOMAS F. BAVAItD.
by a United States ambassador before n
foroign audlenco, tho resolution recited,
wore in serious disregard of his proprieties
and obligations and calculated to injuro
our national reputation. It concluded by
Instructing tho foreign affairs committee,
which was empowered to send persons
ami papers, to luvostigato and report "by
impeachment or otherwiso." Mr. Iiarrctt's
resolution had boon preceded by ono of ills
coucuguo, juiv iMcCnll, in a milder tono.
Jlr. McCalrs resolution went down bc-
roro an objoctlon, and then It was that Jlr.
Barrett sprang his impeachment resolu
tion as ono constituting a question of priv
ilege. Mr. Crisp, tho loadcrof tlio minority,
mado an unavailing nttemnt to contest tho
privileged naturoof tho resolution. Speaker
Heed overruled his point of order and tho
resolution was thrown Into tho arena of
debato, whoro it remained for three hours.
Tho Republicans took tho position that
Mr. Bayard's speech constituted an offense
against tho country that called for 'a stern
robuko, if not ills recall. The Democrats
took the position thnt Mr. Bayard's utter
ances did not by any stretch of tho imag
ination constituto grounds for impeach-
mont, Mr. Turner applauding them nnd
asserting thnt they were not even a breach
of propriety. Thoy took tho position that
tho resolution was largely "buneombo" to
glvo tho Republicans an opportunity to
air their protection viows.
Thoso who took part in tlio dobato were
Messrs. Barrett, Dlngloy, Grow, Hltt nnd
Cannon, Republicans, and Messrs. Crisp,
McCrenry, Monoy nud Tumor, Democrats.
Mr. Hltt, who will be chairman of foreign
affairs, advised Mr. Barrett to amend tho
resolution so ns to striko out tho words
Instructing tho committco to "report by
Impeachment or otherwiso," and this was
Anally douo. Mr. Crisp moved to refer
tho resolution to tho judiciary committee,
which being douo by n strict party vote
00 to 207 tho Democrats coutonted them
solves with simply voting viva voce against
tho resolution, which was adopted with
out division.
Tho senate was In session less than two
hours. Tho procoedluga consisted of tho
introduction of about u hundred bills nud
a speech on tho Monroo doctrine by Sena
tor Culloiu, Mr. Cullom's spoocli was rend
from manuscript nnd was attentively ro
colvpd by tho senate. Bo took strong
grounds for an nfllrmutlve policy In ordor
to convinco othor nations of their error in
supposing this doctrlno to bo impotent
for our guldanco, nnd contended for the
propriety of congressional action, saying
that diplomacy had been sufficiently tried
and hud boon found wanting.

the morning was spent in hearing

tho doors bolngopen to tho various con
testing dologations. This concluded, the
committco began its afternoon session bo
hlnd closed doors. An eager crowd choked
up tho corridors loading to tho committco
room, nnd nwnltod tho announcement of
results.
Tho first Important question of tho after
noon was tho fixing of tho dato of the con
vention. Tlio executive committco re
ported a resolution favoring: Juno 10. ThU
was nmended by Committeeman Lannan,
of Utah, in favor of Aug. 18. There was a
sharp debate, and Mr. Do Young, of Cali
fornia, finally proposed July us a compro
mise between Juno and August. The Do
Young nnd Lannan amendments wero
botli defeated, nnd thou, by a practically
unanimous vote, tlio Uato was fixed at
dune 10.
then camo tho main contest between
tho cltlo.4. There was much excitement us
tlio ballots procooded, tlio committeomou
from tlio Interested sections hurrying about
and seeking to effect combinations. At
the outset San Francisco secured ono mora
than tho nineteen claimed from tho first.
Tho nnnouncomcntof her lead was greeted
with enthusiasm when it reached thooutei
corridors. The strength of St. Louis was
soriiowhat. greater than had bean expected,
whilo neither Pittsburg nor Chicago made
tho showing anticipated.
St. Louis gained steadily on each bal
lot. San Francisco sought to meet this
by drawing tho votes of Chicago, but with
out avail. Tlio first serious break ocourred
whdit David Martlu, of Pennsylvania, led
tho Pittsburg forces townrd St. Louis. On
tho fourth and last formal ballot tlio Pan
Francisco forces broko for the first time,
Michigan, Wyoming and Connecticut
going to St. Louis. That ssttlod it, and
gavo St. Louis tho convention. Tho cholco
was mado unanimous on motion of Mr.
DoYoung, of San Francisco.
On tho announcement of tlio deolslvo
ballot there was a rush for tho St. Louts
headquarters, whoro all the delegates from
that city gathorod with Missouri congress
men and politicians at largo. Thcro was
a great handshaking nnd popping of corks
for a few minutes, with occasional ehoew,"!
until Clark 11. Sampson win lifted tn n
tablOjin reply to calls for a speech. Whilo
ho wfts talking tho room was filling up
nnd Congressmen Jay, Barthold and Cobb
soon appeared, and thun tho Pittsburg
nnd California dologations pushed In to
congratulato their rival.
Tho appetite of tho crowd for spocch
making was remarkable, and many of tho

CANDIDATES WILL BE NUMEROUS
Contests for Seats on the School Board and
Borough Council Will Lead In tho
Elections Some of the
Vacancies.
The opening of the Snrlne election cam
paign by the Citizens Standing Committee,
although somewhat earlier than usual, has
caused a bustlo among people who Intend to
be candidates and announcements will be
numerous within a few days. Tho cam
paign promises to bo ono of tlio most spirited
hem tor sovoral years nnd there will bo nn
unusually largo number or candidates. Tho
Democrats will uiakeau exceptionally stroiis;
fight this year, especially on the' elections of
fcchool Directors. They will exhaust every
means to elect ono in tho Second ward this
year with tho liopo of following it up with
additional gains in the spring of 1897 that
will bring tho School Board under their con
trol again.
There will be no election of a Chief l!ur-
gess or Receiver of Taxes this time, lint it is
believed the contests in the respective wards
for School Directors and Couucilmen will lie
spirited enough to bring out ns many votes
as n gonoml ticket would bring out.
Six School Directors and six Couucilmen
ore to bo elected at the coming election, in
addition to two Justices of tho Peace and
two ward Constables. The Citizens jmrty
will no doubt make a fight for every position.
The four vacancies in the First Ward appear
out of reach, but some members of the party
believe that by a good shaking of tlio tree
one or two plums may drop into their hands.
In the First ward two School Directors and
two Couucilmen must bo elected. School
Director tlonry's term expires in Juno and a
successor must be elected to the late John T.
Stanton. Mr. Conry will not bo a candidate
for re-election. His position ns Health
Olllccr satisfies him so far as local politics are
concerned. Councilman Kano feels that
three years on tho Borough Council is enough
experience, and iMssaid Councilman O'Brien,
who will retire in March after filling tho un
expired term ot Anthony Mcluskcy, will turn
his attention in another direction and aspire
for a School Directorship. .Michael Sullivau
is said to lie eying the other vacancy on the
Board. Daniel Coakley doesn't care whether
ho succeeds Kane, or O'Brien, but ill ask to
be given one of the seats in Council. James
J. O'Heani, an ex-School Director, will seek
a return to the Board next spring.
hcnool Director Daniel Oyden's torm will
expire next .lime and it is uncertain whether
ho will consent to bo a candidate for m-cleo-tion
before the people of the Second waid.
Councilman John 1. Boelim's one year term
is expiring and it is more than probable that
lie will bo out for renoininatioii. The terms
of V. V. Dengler, as Justice of the Peace, and
Taliesin Phillips, as Constable, also expire
and both will be candidates for re-election.
The report that D. II. Llewellyn will be a
candidate for Justice is exploded by the
gentleman himself.
T. J. .lames will retire from Council, his
term expiring, and it is said no less than half
a dozen good and truo men of tlio Third
ward are ready to jump into his slioes. An
equal number of peoplo aro said lo be
anxious to succeed William T. Treziso as
School Director from this ward. He will bo
a candidate for re-election. A Justice of the
l'eaco and a Constable must also bo elected in
this ward. P. W. Bierstein, who is filling
the unexpired term of John C Davis, will
seek the nomination to succeed himself. No
others liavo been mentioned thus far. Chief
of Police Tosh, who also holds tho Constable
ship of this ward, will seek a re-election to
tho latter position.
There has virtually been a vacant Fourth
waul seat in tlio Borougli Council for several
mouths by tlio removal of Patrick Oalligan
from that ward, hut that gentleman has
never formally leslgned tho position and
Council has not taken the trouble
to declare the seat vacant or till
it. It will be necessary this spring,
however, for the people to elect a successor
for the two-fold reason that Mr. tiafllgan is
still a non-resident and iiis term of three
yeai-s expires. The term of School Director
t.Munloy also expires. It is said tho Demo-
erats will trot out, Thomas Brojiunu to suc
ceed him. Tho Citizens party has not given
the matter much attention thus far, but it
is reported John A. finiut may lie a candi
date for tlio place. Thomas J. Powell is also
spoken of.
llio three-year term of Michael Doughcrtv.
who swoars by tlio peoplo of tho Third ward,
but btands by tho people of tlio Fifth, and
represents the latter on tlio Borougli Council,
is also expiring. His present intentions aro
not known. The term of School Director
James J. Devitt is fast fading, but ho will
seek, a rcnominatlon and will have Charles
Hoffman, it is said, as a competitor on tho
Citizens ticket, and Thomas McGuire on the
Democratic ticket.
Such is the status of local politicalafl'airs at
tlio present time, with consideration of
aspirants for High Constablo and Borough
Auditor, the only two borough oliieos to bo
filled this spring, not considered. No de
clarations in counoctlon with tlio two offices
have thus far been mado, but the voices of a
host will soon bo hoard and tho people will
have ample material from which to make u
selection.
