vote to-day I'm tho Assembly on Mr. CrosDys hgh
License bill There many Democrats in tho o'a'e
who heartily support this measure They WILL 'hcrc'
fore, learn with regret that Asscmbiyman shechan,
the Democratic leader the Assembly, and the mouth
niece also OF Governor Hill In that body, contrfvcd
TO array the vote of every Democratic Assembly
man against the BILL The test vote was induced by
a motion of Assemblyman Crosby that tho High IL
cense bill should be made special order for Wednes-
day. The sole purpose OF MIR. Crosby was to secure
immediate attention to the bill, as 1t has now been
before the Assembly for nearly two months. He
has purposely rcfrained from pushing tho bill hitherto
in order that 1t would not be possible for any ono to
complain that the measure had been passed WITHOUT
due consideration. Abundance OF time also was
given TO liquor dealers to appear before the EXCISE
Committee and express their views upon the bill
Mr.. sheehan, however, was not to be placaied in
this way ard Immediately showed his hostility 10 any
bin sdvrrs, 10 the interests OF the liquor dealers
"Why should this bill,- he said, be pushed al ms
early hour In the session when there are so many
important measures which deserve prior cons'aor
ation Why, also. should politics be lnlectea INTO
tl hope that Mr.. Crosby'S motion VIII not ""
valL'
As neither Mr. Crosby nor any other Republican
has IN any way male the bill a political measure
these words of Mr. shechan caused establishment.
