Gov. Plaisted. the fusion Governor of
Maine, seems to have inherited share of
the perversity which Garcclon manifested
while in the executive office. The Gov
ernor's Council are republicans. They
have refused to concur in some of the
Governors nominations to office. and the
consequence is that there is queer mud
die Of officers holding over. officers trans
ferred, and other officers claiming to act
under the Governors appointment. After
creating this confusion, Governor Plaisted.
in pet. declared the Council adjourned -
although that body is no more subject to
the Governors mandate than the Supreme
Court of the State Is. No money can be
drawn from the State Treasury without
its approval. Even the salary of so mighty
a person as Governor Plaisted cannot be
paid except on warrant ordered by the
Council. Consequently. the Governors
refusal to meet the Council. and his obsti-
nate statement that that body has been
adjourned" creates financial dead
lock. The State obligations would go to
protest If the Treasurer had not the pub
lie spirit and financial standing to enable
him to borrow $4,000 to meet payments
falling due. Meantime. this queer Gov
ernor sulks in his office and refuses TO
