In the senate
The Senate did nothing all day excep,
to take receSses and await the action of
| the House. The chamber was througed.
| Senator Cooper read speech in oppusi
! ttoa TO the governors S objections, which he
said were ptifui in their littleuess and
outrageous in their suggestion. The
doctrinc that legislators should be paid for
bills passed was folly. The veto assailed
the independence Of the Legislature and
stultitied the previously expressed views
| Of the governor. Coke disputed tho right
of the governor ID criticiss corordinato
| branch of the government and he declined
70 DO punished by any master except the
! people. Lee said the governors doctrine
was dangerous that he had no right 10
! say whether the work of tho legislators
was worthy of pay. II was revolutionary
| The governor had made sordid appeal 10
base passion. Gordon replied 70 Leo S
| speech. He claimed that the Legislature
| having failed 20 execute a mandate of the
| constitution, was not entitled to pay. The
veto did not say that the measure of wori;
was the measure OF pay, but that tho act
| Of 1874 was intended to pay legislators who
Obeyed not the governor but the cOnstitu
tion. Humes, Ross, Greer, Patton, Ken.
