Their ara pat in thei. positions by the Legislature

ryht that the people should be made acquainted with
ths arrlexties and tolls Of their servants in the Ia
horeus work Of reorganizing and setting in motion
the business az a disordered Commonwealth. whose

For three years We had Military Governor, with
almost unlimited powers. From controversy
