amendment of the Senate was also objrc,ionahe-pro

to take from the Governor the little remaining patron
age which he did possess. They all knew the Execu-
tive of the Commonwealth had very little power and
patronage, and did appear to him that the Senate had
design to take that little away. He thought that the
Senate could not have reflected the facts and infer
ences that might be drawn from the adoption of their
amendments II had been correctly stated that the pow

expressly taken away in 1887 and placed the hands

according to the plain letter Of the law of 1897, that
they had the power TO app on proxy TO represent the
interest of the State; for the law expressly states that
every stakeholder shall have right to for

State stakeholder in the Bank And if so, she
clearly had right to be represented He will
