consented 10 lston. and finally sent for Adjutsnt-
General Porter, to whom repeated what had SAID

Mr.. Yates then said that II well understood that
the action OF the Senate yesterday in passing Senator
hurphy's bill, not retaliatory IN nature; was
simply protective Of the Legislatures oomfcf and
dignity. In malhng my speech in favor Of the
blll,s added Mr.. Yates, II meant 10 imply that tho
Legislature had appropriated nearly threequarers Of
a million dollars for tho National Guard this year
and that wo desired TO how the soldiers looked,
how their uniforms looked, how their guns looked
Just tho same Of the -Four Hundred would
like 30 see how his coaehman held his whip. II was
plan formed By the Legislature long before this

10 give 1000 tckets Of admission to the grand stand
That seems 10 fair arrangement"
