Remarks
!*l*vfcil to Tiie State.
Manchester, N. II.. May 10.- ? Tlie
statement of Representative' ?Madden of
Illinois, Repuiuica.iu', 1n the house tliat,
the Confederate soldiers were traitors
evoked a strong protest, from Gov. John
II. Itartlett. vv<ho spoke on t lio matter
before a large delegation of the N'ew
Il^Tfrlilh' IlgimMtoaii league in tills
city thia afternoon. Governor Ha rf left
n?ferred Jo Mr. Maiden'* outburst ax
wholly uncalled for, sevorly eit-orin+c the
Illinois representative for fliiw unfound- 1
oil reference t?? Uotiert B. I/ce ami a
similar remark made in the house at
Washington last week.
"The entire i>eople of t lio country
should rise in their eonderanation of
Representative Madden for tills hot
headed ou ttMirst," declared the governor
"regardless of whether they belong U?i
tflie North or South or what their politi
cal faith may bo.
"Let us ill New liuuip*bire he ainotrg
the first to notify the South that we
do not uphold or approve in the least
tmch utttcrancce as made by Reprrsseufa
tive Madden. Never before h'ave I ever
heard of the bravery or fcrrtegrity of
Robert JB. Lee being questioned, and I
ean not help but agree with Representa
tive Stedman of North OaroAina in his
declaration that Mr. Madden is 'alone
In a wilderness of his own creation.'
"Such cases as this only serve to re
vive the old feeling of hatred in ex
istence at the time' of the Confederate
war, the ferillng wblrti we In tlift North
have <?led so hard to overcome. We
do not, cannot and wM not approve of
aoch allegations as made by the 1111
note representative, which are wjtihont
<toubt dojflored by a vast majority of
clear thinking people to the country."
The distinguished audience Whom the
governor addressed gave way to a great
outbm wt of applauwu hi ibu wntnwHM
of his remarks.
