IN order.
Mr.. HAMuToN substituted "2500" for
5000, and the order was declared by the
| Speaker in order.
Mr.. KELLocH moved to strike out ''250o'
| and insert $1,000"
Mr.. HAMILTON opposed the amendment.
| OF the former number voted, he had received
| two copies only, when he was told that he
| would have six copies. which he was verdant
! enough to believe. In that same ratio, il
| the House could have three thousand, he
| would just get his six, and would be able to
| retain copy for himself and send five cop
| les to his constituents.
Mr.. kELLocH had no special interest in the
matter, but was opposed to so large distri-
button Of the Governors Address; not be-
cause he was opposed to the dissemination of
| good principles, but because it was really un-
necessary. lie did think from the first, that
| he would oppose any additional number OF
| the address being ordered for distribution,
but as certain gentlemen seemed DESTROYS OF
additional copies, he was willing to grant
1000 this morning.
Mr.. TABBur moved the indefinite postpone
ment of the order.
The SPEAKER ruled the motion out of or,
der.
Mr.. BRADDuRY of Odtown, favored the or
der, and hoped it would have passage. The
people desire the message, and they should
have it in such form that they can preserve
1t. lie did not think selfishness was ucceSsa-
~ to economy.
Mr. FOSTER moved that the order lay on
Mr.. KELLocH moved the yeas ard nays.
Lost.
Mr.. NORTH hoped the amendment would
not prevail. The members of the House
were supplied for their own use and the
question was on furnishing information to the
people. They should be informed of what
the Governor recommends, for he speaks to
the whole State. The expense would be tri-
fling, and he hoped that the largest number
consistent with the rules and orders CT the
House would be furnished.
MIR. SToSE concurred in the remarks of the
last speaker. He spoke of the want of facili-
ties in country towns for the prompt dstri-
button of newspapers, and said there were
many intelligent men who had the interest Of
the State at heart, whom lie was in favor of
presenting with copy of the message to file
away. He thought he could use his proper
tional part of 25o0, and make good use of
| them.
Mr.. KELLocH commended the tone OF the
message very highly, but insisted that 1000
| additional copies were sufficient.
Mr.. PREssEY, from inquiries he had made,
said the cost of putting the message in type
was $3.50; the cost for paper, press work
| and binding, SCI per thousand. TIE first
| thousand cost $3.50. He understood that
| the type had been partly distributed but in
| case it had not, S2l per thousand would pay
| all expenses. He understood it to be custom
| airy to exchange public documents with libra
| ries and State departments throughout the
| Union, so that the actual number wanted
| would be more than the number contempl lated
| by the order.
Mr.. PIERCE spoke 10 fayer Of the order,
| and against the amendment.
| The amendment was rejected and the order
| passed.
On motion of Mr.. PnEssEY, the house adj
| journed.
