Council of Censors in 1892. This Coun-
ell, in addition to proposing to establish a
Senate, proposed amendments to the Con-
stitution, so as to prohibit towns of less
than forty families from being represent
ed in the Legislature, and also provided
for the election, by that body, of an "ad-
r'sory Council consisting of four men,
bers "to advise with the Governor in
granting pardons, remitting fines, laying
embargoes, revising bills" &c. Judge
Galusha was an earnest advocate of these
measures, and exerted the whole of his
great influence in their favor, but without
avail. He was also member of the Con-
stitutional Convention of 1914 and again
in 1922 and was President of the latter
Convention.
In 1909, he was elected by the people,
Governor of the State, and again in 1910,
| | and u; but in 1918 although he had
received large plurality of the popular
vote, he was defeated in the Legislature.
The manner in which this was done, will
be shown in another article. He was
again elected Governor by the people, in
1916 and was continued as such till 1920.
In his last annual message (lSl9) to the
Legislature, he recommended the aboli-
tivn of imprisonment for small debts, and
at the close of his message declines re-
election, and expresses his determination
to "spend the residue of his life in domes-
tic retirement" and gives his reasons
therefor, which, for want of space we arc
reluctantly compelled to omit.
Governor Galusha died at his residence
in salisbury in October 1884.
