RECONSIDERATION
In accordance with previous notice
Senator Cassidy moved a reconsideration
of the vote of yesterday by which the
Governor veto OF the bill taking part
of Elko and adding it to Eureka, was
lost
Senator Cohn Of Elko made point Of
order that . vote on a veto message Was,
of itself a reconsideration, and there
fore the bill. has once been reconsidered,
according to Cushing's Manual.
Cassidy held that the Senate was act
ing under Jetfer.on's Manual, and not
Cushing's which was quite different;
holding that the Legislature had full au-
thority over bills as long as in possession
Of either House, and that the Legislature
could go 80 far as to recall a bill after
being once placed in the hands of the
Govsrnor-if before his action.
President Stevenson said. under a
Congressional law. a veto message of the
President could not be reconsidered; that
the first vote on the message Was itself
considered q reconsideration. In order
to give the members an opportunity to
fully discuss this constitutional question
he hoped the matter would be deferred
until after recess.
The Senate then took 4 recess for one
hour.
AFTER RECESS.

ate took recess, seven Senators were
present.

Sergeant Pi1ley sailed forth in quest of
abssntees. with the hope of future re-
ward in the shape of 81 fine from each.
1t was found. however, in the excuses of
that all were overhauling JET
ferson's Manual in order to fortify
for the constitutional ques-
ton which would soon come up. These
excuses, though considered rather trans
parent. were considered sufficient, aud
no fines were levied.

The Governor 5 veto, was reconsidera-
ion of tho first vote or not, immediately

vas before the Senate, and subject to re- |
Cohn appealed from the decision OF
