Ho,v was u Last Year!

Como friend of George T. who has the

cal oniniops Of his last year BE- which "

yonld have saved all isis trouble that we
arc having now. The Governor had grave
doubts about receiving a RECONCILIATION, brit
none at all as to his own power to strain
the Constitution and violate the will OF the
people. When Lieutenant-Go Governor salter
resigned he said there was no Jacancy; he
would make no appointment, and the peo-
nile had no right 10 vote for a successor to
Salter. But they did, and elected l.. L.
Humphrey, who is now Lieutenant Cover
nor against the fiat of George L.
The LAWYERS did not agree with GeoreS

larye one for an of year when there were
oniy vacancies to be filed. Humphrey re-
c.iyed 81. so votes; Watt-yson, Democrat,

question last year that it takes now, and
told Mr.. Baker and the Cpnmonneohb al!
