Mr.. STANTON was in favor of COM
pleting the business before the General As
sembly. and then adjourning; but opposed
to liking the day now.

accomplish practically the same amount of
business as fit remained in session till the

sible. 80

ment. -''
Mr.. PERRILL was for setting day for
adjournment, and then working up to it.

merely for the sake of having it said that
the Legislature had had short session.
The people expected their representatives
here to discharge the business before them,

in order to complete the business before

amount of business yet undOne would pre-
clude the possibility of adjournment on the
10th.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER favored fixing the
time OH Friday, 18th, instead of Monday,

| be done between those dates.
| Mr. DAVEY said that if this General
| Assembly was of as much Importance to
the people of Ohio as some gentlemen rep
resent, it should remain in session all sum
mer. If we continue to lose as much time
as we have been losing, including Satur-
days and Mondays OF each week, besides
the regular adjOurmPnts, it eoiU take all
summer to get through with the business.
