ALBANY Fob. 26.-Tho candidates for Gov
ernor I'm the Senate spent twohours more to-day
tsling oach other thcir views " what tho duties
Of a Governor are. and what Governors mes
sage should contain. The Cayuga Gubcrna-
toria aspiraut. MIR pomeroy astonished his
associates 10y placing himself in the field as the
candidate of the legislative schcmcrs. iohbcrs.
aud logrollers. He has gone so far that there Is
no chance for his competitors to outbid him. |
He has in almost so many words informed tho |
legislative iobbcrs that II they will make him |
Governor he will not interfere with any OF their |
plans. and will not apply the veto knife TO any |
OF their steals. All such things. when once in |
serted by the Legislature. shn be con-
sdcrcd too sacred to touch with the veto
II was made clear by Mr.. Pomeroy's remarks
that II he wore placed in the executive chair tho
millennium for Legislative jobbcry, little and
big steals IN the Supply bill would arrive. and
the lobby again fattcn and flourish M in the
halcyon days OF the past This line of declara-
ton was in reply to Senators Jacobs and Ercle
sinc's assertions that enormous sums had been
saved to tho people by the vigilant use OF tho
| veto by Democratic Governors.
Senator pomeroy denied the constitutional
| right of the Governor to veto nm appropriation
| that had been passed by the Legislature There
was. for instance. he said an item appropriate
| ing 81 600 for bridge at Syracuse. and another
for the asylum ut Binghamton. in last years
| Supply bill They passed both Houses after
being considered by the proper commttees.
| Gov. Robinson vetoed both. Pomcroy denied
| that he had any such right. The Governor was
| making the Legislature n mere advisory power
| tO the Executive. and this. he said. WAS shame.
| Not another government on tho face of the earth
puts such power in the hands OF the execuuy".
