Grafton. Mr.. Rawson moved to indefnitel,
postpone, Amendments followed in rapit
order. Mr.. Kinds opposed laying on tn
table, as the message contained
some very good and fatherly advice especi

Again, in printing the message he woule
have marked in red ink that portion of th,
message relating to the :'Old Railroad

the people what they meant last summer
when they voted upon that question, A
least, the message would convey the Gov
vernor's impression of what the people
meant and he supposed this
ought to be satisfactory
Mr.. Campbell of Meeker wanted, in view
of the Paris exposition, to have at least lOOf
copies printed in the French language, as al
immigration document.
MI. Miller thought it anything but good
immigration document, as it would leave the
impression upon the foreigners who read il

gotten in that way.

cause they thought they had a
good defense, but the Governor in his
message assumes that the action OF the peo-
nle in so doing was criminal if not absolute
" dishonest. The people thought they had
good reasons for their action and it was an
insult to have document of that kind go
out to the world. The Statute regulated the
number of copies to be printed and he was
opposed to increasing the number.
At this juncture, Mr.. Rahilly made de-
cidedly good point by saying that if this
thing went on and the members insisted up
on a recognition of all the known languages,
he would insist upon the right of the Irish
language for place in the list. This cut
the knot and the whole matter was laid on
the table.
The Silver Bill was next taken up and the
"chin music,' became general. Messrs.
Rahilly, Mead, Pendie, Miller, Colville, Rice,
Dresback, of Winona, and others taking a
hand This continued until one o'clock,
when a recess was taken to 2;3O. On reas-
sembling the matter was finally put to rest by
being laid on the table, and the voting down
of motion to reconsider, This disposed of
The House proceeded to the order Of intro

was one by Mr.. Kinds, of Shakopee, for the

The House then passed the memorial to

and Dakota Road. Then for two hours or
more followed spirited discussion upon the
bill, extending the time to the same road.

PRINTING THE MESSAGE.
MIR. Weinaut's resolution in relation to print
ing copies of the Governors message was then
taken up: when Mr.. Rawson, of Wright, moved
to indefinitely postpone.
Another motion was made to strike out all

THE SILVER QUESTION.
The special order, the resolutions of Messrs.
Rahilly and Mead relating to silver remoneti-
zation, was then taken up.

tute.
Mr.. Purdie, of Freeborn, offered the follow
ing amendment.

peal act of Congress demonetizing silver, and
in favor of restoring the silver dollar to its
position prior to February 1878.
Second. Resolrcd, That our Senators in
Congress be instructed and our Representa-
tives be requested to use their influence and
votes to secure the results above named.
Third. Reso1ed, That copy of these reso-
buttons be forwarded to each Of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress by the Secre-
tary of State.
Mi. Miller addressed the House at some
length in favor of the substitute offered by the
gentleman from Ramsey, Mr.. Mead.
Col Colville favored the adoption of a resolu-
ton in accordance with the intent and spirit
OF the resolution which has already passed the
National House of representatives, and which
bids fair to to pass the Senate by a two-third' s
vote. He favored silver reconciliation upon
the basis of the dollar Of 1873
