Book Description

Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Cushman Kellogg Davis: Late a Senator From Minnesota Delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives, Fifty-Sixth Congress, Second Session Mr. Nelson. Mr. President, it is my sad duty to announce to the Senate the death of my late colleague, Senator Cushman K. Davis, at his home in St. Paul, Minn., on the 27th of November last, at 9 o'clock in the evening, after a lingering illness of more than two months. In his death our nation has lost one of its foremost public servants and Minnesota one of the noblest and best of her sons. On some future occasion I shall ask the Senate to set aside a day for the consideration of tributes to the memory of my deceased colleague. On this occasion I offer the resolutions which I send to the desk, and ask for their immediate consideration. The President pro tempore. The resolutions submitted by the Senator from Minnesota will be read. The Secretary read the resolutions, as follows: Resolved, That the Senate has heard with deep regret and profound sorrow of the death of the Hon. Cushman Kellogg Davis, late a Senator from the State of Minnesota. Resolved, That the Secretary communicate a copy of these resolutions to the House of Representatives. The resolutions were considered by unanimous consent, and unanimously agreed to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
