Tho Governors veto OF the Supply bill, or the best
part OF IT, was regular old-iashioned bombshell lie
vetoed in all thirty-threc items, aagregating The sum
of 556 ISL The reading oil the message 10 the AS
semby wa an event in ITSELF and partly according 10
the interest or indifference and partly according to the
political feelings of the listeners tho faces around tho
chamber showed disappointment or satisfaction. The
labor,pg men in tho gallery intensely concerned
as their bread and butter was at stake. and II Is
not easy to depict how they felt when they heard OF
the appropriation Of ST. co., 900 for work on she new
Capitol vetoed. This veto Is unprecedented. IL IS
blow in tho face the Legislature, as much as TO say,
"If you won't have economy WILL II is the whole
talk OF tho town tonight, OF natives as well as
strangers. There democrats and republicans alike
VINO commend the Governor for his action, and, on
the other hand, there those OF both parties who
cast upon him words Of censure Disin-
,crcstcd people say 1t is one OF tho
best acts OF his lifo, ms 1t is putting down
the breaks for once the wholesale extravaganza that
has characterized framing Of the Supply bill for
wears past Asyluns and rcormatories have been de-
maud,na hundreds OF Thousands of dollars annually,
with nothing to show tor the money. and II is limo
they met with a check.
rIInusrERrSG OVER
When the reading was ended Mr. Hustled moved to
reconlmit the bill to the Committee on Ways and
Means where it originated. Peter Mitchell objected,
and the previous question was called on this expla-
nations were made by members, and ono OF these was
mado by Mr. Hustcd, who faced the gallery and cap
turcd IT, h,s effort being rewarded by
applause from the sons Of toll. When some OF the
members who were voting on the MAN question TO
commit saw the effect OF Hused's bit OF clnptrap on
the workingmen they suddenly changed from Mega
tive 10 affirmative, and motion was Carried ny
vote OF 63 AZ. Mr. Spnola said It would bring JOY
TO thousands in tho State, but Mr. Hayes rather had
him on the nip by replying II would bring sorrow TO
thousand more. Mr.. Hayes picture OF tho condition
OF the insane deprived Of these appropriations, was
quite effective.
A FEW ITEMS
Among the leading items vetoed are thosn for law
libraries monuments at Saratoga Kingston and Fort
Green; extra services OF John l. Davenport, $4,000
this was received with LOUD laugh OF satisiacton);
appropriation for willard Asylum, Buffalo State Asy-
lum, Hudson River State Hospital &c. The great
item vetoed that of 81 o0o 600 Tor the new State
Canio AS Hustled ntima,cd. his object in having It
rccommitted WINS 10 show that the Governor vetoed
items that he should have spared and spared items he
should have vetoed. Jacobs item OF $25 900 for tho
Cath die ectory appears TO have escaped the ruth
less hand OF HIS Exceency, because as Jacobs SAID
he found that tho Judges OF the Court
O. Appeals declared II was right and cons Institutional.
Democrats say the republicans will try 10 make capt.
tai out this by taking action and letting tho blame
OF allowing the Capitol building to stand idle TO
fall on tho Governor; bot 1t is well underslood that II
