territory.
Mr.. Currin-I don't want to slap the
governor in the face, but he takes consld-
cradle pleasure in slapping us, and it be-
comes us TO slap back.
Mr.. Merten-i simply have this to say
in regard to the bill: The gentleman from
Kingfsher states that every recommends
ton Of the governor has been complied
with. This is mis-statement. They
have not been complied with. The bill
did not meet the requirements Of the gov
ernor's message. / am not here to let as
sertions Of this kind to go unchallenged.
If they desire to recall the bill, shall not
object; but will not allow the gentleman
from Canadian to assail his rights and the
rights of his people.
The Chair-The gentleman knows he is
making a mis-statement.
Mr. Merten-I called no names. The
gentleman was too ready to apply the re-
marks TO himself

Mr. Neal-I believe the original motion
is still the property of this house. If we
have no further use for this message, why
not Law 1t upon the table, where it will lie
The bill was returned some time since
with objections. 1t was returned to the
governor, and now il comes back with
other objections. WhaG is the use of
trifing further? am in favor of placing
the communication on the table, and let it
rest there.

when / ask that this bill be laid on the
table. We want the governor to sign or
veto the bill
Mr.. Farnsworth-The gentleman is mis-
taken. The people do not wish TO show
any disrespect TO the governor. -,
Mr. Barker-Good is not likely TO come
from wrong-doing This capital question
IS as old as the house. Combinations have
been made by which, for certain consid-
erations, votes would be cast. The gov
ernor vetoed the bill presented before on
account of the perfidy of the persons con-
nected with it. Members on this floor
were bought and sold-I 90 not say with
money-but in other ways. do not blame
the kinglsher people for desiring the capt.
tai. Governor Steele is right. Ii ne
signed that bill after what has happened,
he would not be the governor of the terri
tory. told my friends all along that the
bill did not meet the objections of the gov
ernor. ] glory in the pluck of Governor
steele and will stand by him.
Mr.. Neal-I don't know that any further
remarks would change anyone's views
The gentleman from Logan claims the gov
ernor is consistent, and the governor OF
the whole territory. i hope this is so. l
tell you what believe: that the first King
