MIR. Cruger said that all the members Of the COM
mittee visiting Albany agreed that the effect of the
mass meeting held In February upon the action of
the Legislature was most decided. There were
those who earnestly wished that the interest taken
in the bills now pending would died out. IL would
be comforting to such these to believe that the
citizens had lost all interest In this reform legisla
tion because one important bill had been passed
and signed. There wcren enine important bills which
had been introduced in the Assembly. 10 the
bill, which is now on the order 10 tnrd reaolng IN
