Mr.. Egan regretted that it had been stated that
the passing Of the city election bill had been
made conditional upon the passing Of this BILL and
/ although he intended to vote for the latter, he
wished it to be understood that it was not on ac-
count Of that attempt TO influence the course of
the Legislature, and thatasanst this he proclaimed

bill should be amended SO as to require the CON
| frrnaton of the Senate to the appointment OF
commissioners by the Governor. He thought arti-
Gle 1873 of the Constitution ont Of place, but as it
was there, it must be obeyed.. He moved recon
4 sideration of the bill. a-s' 7 ,ag ;.
Mr.. Mohan explained that if he had conveyed
| the idea that the Governor had proposed the pay
sage of this bill as condition to his signing the
city election bill, he had by lapsus }inguG gone
too far. The Governor had merely, mtimated that
hewould like q measure of, this character passed
in accordance, with the requirements OF the Coh
stifutlon. !" 'H ,H5@i f'FE'a'Lsa ~ ~ :. =
