message, copy of which is published
elsewhere, and of which the following Is

of unfinished business is before the body,

new legislation as seems to be OF neces,
sarv importance. Regarding certain
imp ,r,ant matters Of unfinished bust
ness he refers to his last message.

depressed condition of trade, and the
consequent hard times arising theFeIrom

pose Of suggesting any remedy by legis-
ls,ion. since such seems entirely imprac-
ticsbe; but Tor the purpose Of discussing
the proposed passage Of stay
law. On this point the Governor
