THE GOVERNOR AND THE STATE
SENATE NOrA HAPPY FAMILY.
Mr.. Hamilton Declines to Yield to the Managers,
and the Senate Rejects the PRINCIPAL Appoint
ments.

ANNAPOLIS. March 2l-The executive
session of the Senate to-day WAS truly an
execution session.. as it was plaviully
termed by those who hung aronnd the
closed doors cleaning bits of information
as To What was going "n within. The
senators rolled mp their sleeves AMI pro
ce.'i.d To hn1chcr the Governor s nom
nations reuardlr>>lv. Decidedly the
tu">t important action was that upon the
supervisors of election. MeSsrS. Nc
Co~ker and Seim were turned down. and
action upon Mr. Pratt : confirmation was
deferred. The executive committee re
ported favorahly AS to Mr. Pratt and IN
favorably as to the other two. The com
mittee was then discharged from further
consideration OF the subject. aud the
names were put up. Mr.. Gill. of Balti-
more city, made speech, in which he
argued that the Governor had not COM
piled with the law in sending in the
names. because it was required that he
also send in the names Of those whose
places they were to take. He moved
that the nnmlnltion be. therefore refer
red back to him: but this motion was
voted down. and action was taken at
once as above. A communication was
received from the Governor withdraw
ing the nomination of John f. Som,ner-
lock as State Wharfnger.
The action of the Senate shows that
the managers ct both factions OF the
Democratic party mean to fight the Gov
ernor, and that he ought not to place
confidence in the promises of men who.
to serve their own purposes. may now be
asking him to compromise with them
The same tactics. it will be remembered
were resnrted to in the closing days of
last session. when Messrs. German i Co,
had to patch up peace with the Gov
ernor. and pass number of his bills i'll
consideration Of his naming as supervis-
ors of electinuS two men acceptable t.
! the managers. The Governor declined.
| and the bosses continued the fight. Had
| the Governor conceded what the manag-
ers asked. and appointed supervisors to
| suit them. it Is more than probable that
ex- Senator Whyte would not have been
elected Mayor of Baltimore. For this
reason it seems marvellous that Mayor
| WHITES friends in the Senate should
| have voted against the confirmation OF

| they undoubtedly did. although the Gov,
