Renison called up the special order, A. B. 145,
10 repeal an Act to incorporate the city of Mon

plalned that a consultation with the Governor
had convinced him that the bill was unconsti-

OF the gentleman from Monterey and had no

March ID, but / am dett rmined to raise my
voice in the defense of what l believe to be

| Il, sir, win cast my vote this day to sustain
the Governors veto. and for these
| reasons: First, ! believe that the head
executive .;s OF this great State is en-
dence of this honorable body and the whole
people of California. Monterey included, for Ire
member hearing the Governor remark some time
| ago, L venerate old Monterey and feel peculiar
interest in that place, where the grand old flag
| OF The Republic was first unfoded on this
coast But listen to the false structures and
vie we, accusations contained in the Cypress the
leading paper of that place, words not uttered
In the hutter of a primal excitation, but in q
| fully-deliberated editorial
| The speaker then read an editorial from the
paper referred TO. which severely criticised the
| Governors action in vetoing the bill
Now, appeal to the moral sense Of both par
| ties Are such utterances just or applicable TO
| Governor Waterman, who is considered by all
| who know him a man of honest integrity. clear
| perception, sound judgment and undoubted ex-
ecutive ability? It may ne said that man
OF such excellent attributes may err in judg-
/ ment. les, he may, but no one who laws claim
70 consistency of thought or expression will at
| tribute to his Exceilency anything approxi-
mating to mercenary motives. Why, sir, the
| governor is rich. but If he was as poor as a
country parson his grand individualism would
assert itself in manly independence
| ne IS man who dares to do right. Now let
us see as TO whether the Governors Judgment
| and decis on were at fault The ATTORNEY. Gen
ersl, his legal advisor who is surely inferior to
no legal light In the State, pronounced the
| measure unconstitutional. Bills, sir often pass
this House amid din and confusion without
| receiving due and necessary consideration but
| when subjected to The Governor for his sig
nature every line is scanned and every pro-
vision critically scrutinized, and the SUPPOSE
| tior is just and proper verdict. Taking into
consideration all these matters, IN addition to
my personal convictions, deem it my duty to
| sustain the Governors veto"
Renison said that he himself and not an indi-
viduai editor in Monterey was the true repre-.
NATIVE OF the people OF that place. He was

and hoped his veto would be sustained by the
/ Assembly.
The roll was called and the veto sustained by

SiorSe said the message, as it came back to
the House, cast a slur not only upon him, but
had not only been a member of the Assembly,
4 but for eight years had held the Office of Stsie
Librarian. Continuing he quoted from the
| message TO show that it was more ungramma,i-
cal and meaningless than the bin was claimed
to be. " In shor, said the speaker this his h.
sound ng message is SIMPLE tumble of non-
sense He then went on TO explain the bill
I from le. al and constitutional standpoint and
closed by saying that he hoped the bill would
| be pass over the veto. and he also wanted
the Clerk to read the message again to the AS
sembly before the vote was taken
| The Clerk started to read the message when.
on motion of Storke the reading of the me-
| sege and the calling of the roll were postponed
until tomorrow morning, immediately AFTER
