Ben Harrison: “The notes furnished directly or indirectly by the United States have been the only and the safe and acceptable paper…”

But the most serious objection to the legislation is that it creates at once upon the taking effect of the law the offices of district attorney and marshal for each of the three districts, and the effect, it seems to me, must be to abolish…

It gives me pleasure to consummate here to-day, by the act of lifting this flag, the efforts in support of a principle to which I give my hearty support.

That event is interesting in itself, but its interest to me is in the fact that this ship is the type and precursor of many others.

No provision is made for a continued discharge of the duties of marshal and district attorney by the present incumbents.
