ONE EOR BUTLER.

An act to incorporate the 'fUnion Safe De-
posit Vaults'' was duly passed by both
branches of the Massachusetts, legislature
and was laid before Governor Butler for his
examination on the 21st of last February.
Having looked over the bill he decided to
veto it, and on the 23d day of February, at
the executive chamber, he signed the veto
message and delivered 1t to his private secre-
tary with orders to have it delivered to the
House. On the evening of that day he left
the State and was absent until the I'd of
March. On the 26th of February the exec
utive clerk, acting under directions from the
private secretary, delivered the bill and the
veto message to the HOUSE. the message be-
ing dated that day.
Soon after this howl was raised It was
asserted that as the governor was not in the
State when his veto was dated it was not val
i'd. So much fuss was made about the mat
ter that the House finally submitted the case
to the Supreme court of the State. That
court has just delivered its decision, and, as
might have been expected, this decision is
that the veto is valid. The court says: Up.
on the facts presented to us the governor
PASRoAON 0AO 54S4O0 LIS Aleh6bko duu u6us-
cred it to the private secretary, with orders
to have it delivered to the House at a time
when he was unquestionably in the rightful
exercise Of all his powers and functions.
This order was never disavowed or revoked,
either by him, or by the lieutenant governor
acting in his place. The executive clerk, in
carrying the bill and message to the House
did so by virtue of the continuing force of
lawful order. The governor has done no Off
His lawful act done here, never disavowed or
revoked, has accomplished its purpose of
sending down to the House the bill and his
objection within the prescribed time. The
view that the acts of the private secretary
and executive clerk are to be treated as a
nullity is technical rather than sound. It
seems by construction to contradict the fact
that the governor has caused the bill with his
objections to be returned to the House. His
delivery of the message to the private secre-
tary, who is an officer provided for by stat
utes and the proper organ of communication
with the legislature, with instructions to have
it sent down, was the first step in its trans
mission to the House. There is no reason in
the nature of things why his temporary alb
sence should revoke the authority of the Sec
retary and prevent the completion of an act
already begun. There is no provision of the
constitution which by its necessary construc-
tion leads to this result
This decision is clear and sensible. 1t is
the fitting reward of the foolishness of those
who brought 1t about. OF course the object
of those who asked for it was to make point
against the governor. The anti-Butlerites of
the House should have been in better bust
ness than trying to trip up their hated gov
ernor on mere technical point.

THE OHIO CONVENTION.

THE OHIO CONVENTION.
The Ohio State Republican convention
completed its work yesterday. Senator
Sherman presided and conducted the pro-
ceedings with much skill. His name was put
before the convention by an enthusiastic gen.
tleman and he would have been nominated
with rush had he not peremptorily de-
clined the honor. Judge j. B. Foraker, of
Cincinnati, was then nominated by aeclama-
ton.
The platform adopted by the convention is
in the main sound and judicious. It's two
most important declarations are those con-
cerning the tariff ana the liquor question.
The Republicans of Ohio are heartily oppos-
ed to the Democratic doctrine of "a tariff for
revenue only" They also want the wool
tariff of 1867 restored as soon as possible.
They approve the action of the legislature in
submitting the liquor question to the people
and they approve of 'taxation Of the liquor
traffic for revenue and for the purpose of pro-
viding against the evils resulting from such
traffic" They: endorse Civil Service reform and
heartily approve the ''wise and conservative,
administration of President Arthur
j. B. Foraker, the nominee of the
convention, is but little known out
side the State, and is not very famous
within it. He is only thirty. six years old and
has not figured prominently in politics, his
chief appearance in this field being when he
was elected county judge. He was a SOL
dier in General Slocum's division of Sher-
mans army, and rose from q boyish private
to be captain on General Slocun1's staff He
graduated honorably at Cornell University in
1868, after passing three years at the Ohio
Wesleyan University, one of the largest COL
leges in the State. He is man of unblem-
ished character and has shown a surprising
amount of sagacity, tact and dignity during
the contest which ended in his nomination.
He is said to be a great favorite with the
Germans who are so numerous and desirable
in Ohio politics.
The Republicans in Ohio have made good
beginning. The coming contest will be
very important one, and its result may have
marked effect upon the great. contest next
year. OF course they will spare no pains to
win, and the party in other States will watch
the campaign carefully and anxiously.

The Civil Service commission has struck a
snag in that clause of the law which provides
that when two persons of one family are en-
ployed in the civil service no other member
of that family shall be eligible to appoint
ment, and it has concluded to ask for the
Attorney-General's opinion whether the
words zone family in the law mean only
parents and their children, or also nephews
and nieces, grandchildren, cousins and rela-
tives by marriage. 1t is to be hoped that the
Attorney-General will know.
