Mathews rose to e question of privilege, and
quoted from the San Francisco Chronicle a state
ment sent by the Governor TO the Senate, giving
as his reason for yetoing s. b oil that the Jour
nal of the Assembly showed that it had re-
ceived but 40 affirmative votes in view OF the
protest there entered by Assem- olyrnan Sims,
which protest was corroberated by statement
signed by Speaker Howe and Chief Clerk Leake
Mathews remarked that Sims protest ought to
have been expunged from the Journal, and took
occasion TO say that, in his opinion, two-thirds
of the members Of the Assembly vote upon bills
without knowing hat they are yosing upon.
Briefly said that Sims evidently knew very
well what he was rotlug upon for he took ass-
vantage of the failure TO change his vote ard
gave notice that he would move a reconsidega-
tion of the bill, showing that he was at hesrt
| opposed 10 IL all TIE time.

| the gentlemen or the Chronicle. The fai was
that he had changed his vote in due form azl the
occasssa referred to, and that was all there was
| of it

matter by several members, Clerk Leske was

hand. He tLease) turned and remarked to the

to change his vote, but the Speaker replied that
