Mr. summer said nc was opposed TO laying
it on the table. He did not wish to have the
Senate give Marsh any additional notoriety.
Where one man had read the testimony Of
Lockwood and belong, twenty men had read
the text Of the pamphlet and memorial. Here
they do not propose to do justice, but to re-
print in the Journal Of the House what has
already gone in pamphlet form all over the
State. This was not a petition. What ac-
ton would be taken upon it. He asked in
justice to himself that it be not put upon the
records to his injury-and he protested
against il. When this report was going
through process Of printing, John Church,
State Printer, was written to by Stanford and
threatened with prosecution il he printed the
report. This memorial does not proceed
from Marsh, but from Leland Stanford. The
object is not to affect me, but to defeat an
opposition railroad company, who will COM
pete with the Pacific Railroad Company in
their attempted monopoly.
Mr.. Ives said he did not suppose that ar
gument on the railroad question would arise
out Of this memorial. The question is simply,
did Marsh report correctly the reply OF MIR.
Stanford to the question put to him whether
81, 000, 900 in State bonds would hasten the
completion Of the Pacific Railroad to this
State?
Mr.. Winton said, in making this motion
he did not desire to place this memorial on
the minutes, but to do justice to a Senator
and to an humble citizen. To reject this
document without examination would be an
injustice to u private citizen.
Mr.. Doran and others opposed laying the
memorial on the table. The motion was
lost.
The motion to reject the memorial was
carried.
