Gov. MARTINS character was not
miSjudged last fall, when he appeared
before the people in weak, wavering
attitude. AT that time he was afraid
to say that his soul was his own, con-
terGlng himself with utsering few
platitudes on claw and order' and such
things. And his pitiable condition
continues and will continue until the
end of his term. He signs the new
temperance bill under protest, but the
prohibition extremists were with him
and forced him to do their bidding.
Thus is he paying the price of his
election. Gov. MARTIN SAYS:
believe section eighteen Of this act confers on
county officer vefy dangerous authority and
power, which should not be vested in any officer
and whichfn the hands OF an INSCRIPTIONS man
may be grossly abused, without fear or poSsibili-
ty Of his punishment for such abuse. My objec-
tons to vesting such powers and authority In any
officer are such that, if the session was not SO
near its close, should feel it TO be my duly to
return the act without my approval but Ii would
be impossible, in the brief remaining time, for
legislative action to secure consideration Of the
bill with a view to the removal OF the objectiona-
bic section. am, therefore, constrained, though
with great reluctance, not to withhold my appro-
val OF the act. In my Judgment, brief test OF
the practical working Of section eight Will demon
strate, not only Its dangerous authority, but its
insuficiency to accomplish the result apparently
intended to be accomplished through its agency
Signing the bill because he dare not
refuse, he yet utters an excuse for his
lack of independence and manhood and
hopes that it will continue for him the
respect Of the anti-prohibition wing of
his party. But our governor disgraces
himself, and his characterless act re-
fleets upon the manhood of the whole
state. He signed bill which he con-
siders unjust and dangerous because he
was afraid to veto it, What COM
mentary on the courage and integrity
of the mani Does he not know that
