Mr.. Lebroke of Piscataquis aaid that he
did not mean to cast any reflections upon the
Senator from Waldo, but he did feel little
restve to be driven into yea and nav vote

party is so weak or so timid, that when the
population Of Aroostook has increased from
$1,000 to IS, 900, with corresponding increase
in legal business, it does not dare to vote the
county officers fair compensation, he was
sorry for the party, and was in favor of re-
forming it. He was not to be affected by the
bugbear of precedent, but should vote for
every measure he thought right.
The bill was then passed to be engrossed.
