DAVIS ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Re-
personalities: For nearly sixty years you and
your fathers have assembled to deliberate upon
Lie willis Ol tue COMMONWEALTH Guu eudCt us
laws. In all these years the safeguards thrown
around republican government have proved
strong enough to carry our good State IN safety
through every danger. Annually the persons
elected by the people have been summoned by
the proper authorities to meet and organize the
legislature and those defeated by the people
have quietly submitted to the will of the ma
jOrity. For the first time in our history this
rule in the past has been reversed. Hence the
unparalleled excitement and popular indigna-
ton. The organization of the legislature has
for that reason been delayed. Under such
circumstances you have shown great forbear-
ance. You have kept strictly within the law.
Coming from law abiding communities, you
have waited until you could obtain the Opin-
ious of the court. That opinion being render
ed, you completed the organization of the
Fifty-Ninth legislature. Believing this solu-
tion of the difficult problem is a striking illus
tration of the strength of Republican govern
ment, where only the majority can rule, and
that ell good citizens will joyfully hail it as
such. l will only add that l will take an early
opportunity to express to you my views upon
our State affairs.
