Congressman Called It Disgrace
That Tyler's Grave Was Not
Marked by State.
Examination of the Congressional
liccbrd ltd: shown th^t an argument
advanced )>y CongrcsaVmn Mann, of
Iilinol:?, to the effect that Virginia,
should have done. something for the
memory of President John Tyler, came
near causing th0 defeut of the pro
vlding for a monument in Hollywood
to his memory. During th< iast days
ot Congress, one objection was sufh
.?!? nt to kill a bill, and Mr. Mann mur?
dered a coed many in this why. He
became known as the ?reut objector.
??Now. \yhyi"7a5kcd Mr. Mann, "does
hot the State of Virginia do soirie
thlng for John Tyler's memory.* That
Slate whs proud of John Tyler, who
way formerly President, and why has
rtbt (hat State done sOmethihg?"
"Becuuse," responded Representative
Utmb. of Rivhiuohd, "they thought It
would be a pleasure for the Congress
of ibe United Suites to meinorallze
John Tyler."
Further colioauy was as follows: j
Mr. Mann: "Perhaps we might think j
i! would be u pleasure for Virginia to |
?lo it." ' j
Mr l*rimb: ? 1 cannot speak j
for the Legislature of Virginia. I can
speak for Virginia, though, along cer
lain lines. Virginia after the war \vas
in such a " 0110111011 financially that she
did not feej she was abb- to respond to
tl.i- and many kindred calls. She hud
to just lo her creditors before she.
could lie jrehorous 10 her most favored
sons."
Mr. Mann: "That nc>t the case now.
Virginia Is very prosperous at pres?
ent, and ought to be proud of the
memory of John Tyler." i
Mr. Dumb: "And so she Is."
Mr. Mann: "And ought to provide a
monument over his grave; It is h. dis?
grace, almost,'to Virginia that she has
gl\-eh no thought to the subject of
marking the grave pi a 1'resident clcct
? d !: oin Vlrglniu."
Mr. l.umb: ?'Vlrginiti has hoped and
bolloved it,ai the richest .government
on the glol^e would wish to honor tiic
memory ol one of her sons who formu?
lated the policies that gave to the gen?
era 1 government the great Common?
wealth of Texas. Other States, richer
than Virginia, have seen their "favored
sons who were national characters
honored. 1 will ask my friend why
\ irglniii should i,e made an exception'.'"
Mr. Man if; "That is what I ask my
friend. Why should Virginia, bo made !
an except ion V We are not doing it for \
other Presidents."
Mr. linmb: "Wo have done tills same
itilhg for citizens of other States who
furnished Presidents to the country.
My friend knows the record as well as
any member oh this floor, i hope my
friend from Illinois wilt withdraw his
objection.
Mr. Mann: "Out of regard for the
gentleman from Virginia himself, who
is hs gallant an old .soldier as ever
mad,- a light (applause). | will not
make any objection.'' (Applause.)
The Speaker: "Is there objection in
the consideration of this lull-.' (After a
pause.? The chair hears none."
The bill was ordered to be read tho
third time, was read the third time, and
passed.
