asylums came up Senator Doran (who called the bill
up) made vigorous speech upon the subject and
moved to put the original Senate bill upon it's final
passage.
Senator Rice spoke on the subject and denounced
the action Of the Republican caucus that made q
party issue of this matter and deplored the fact that
the Republican party had lent itself to such dirty
Senator D. Buck said the investigating committee
were as honorable men ever trod the soil Of Min
nesota and they had been traduced and villifed in
consequence Of their honorable action and he would
the walls of the capitol crumbe before he would
vote for the vile and damnable substitute.
Senator Macdonald said he would not vote for the
BILL. The House had taken the responsibility of
shoulderng the trustees of the asylums, ard if they
conld do it he would bear part of that respon-

Senator j. B. Gilhllan did not know how much was
intended by the remarks made about influences used
about the capitol. He did know that q year ago
when the committee was appointed, they
were hidden God speed by the Republican
party. He had considered the testimony brought out
by the committee and he could not find sufficient evil
dence to convict the trustees. He denied any kowl-
edge of any influence being brought to bear by Sem
ators upon members of the House to defeat the bill.
The Republican party had given every facility to in
veshgate the matter. He did not know of any cor
rupt bargains or trades. and We had right to &C.
cuse them of acting otherwise than conscieniously.
Senator Thacher came to the Senate this winter
without any ideas upon the subject He
had heard the denunciatons hurled upon the Gov

cious enough to start off on new basis, and leave
voted for the bill because he had thought it
had heard bitter talk here, but was in
the d; House , tor few moments and had heard
suit was to convert him. and he had made up his
mind to sustain the old board of trustees He could
stand it and he thought the Republican party could
stand 1t without damage.
