TRENTON, Jan IA, 1s90.-ssI Introduction
of bills is now in order" was the first
ordor of business President Nevius an
nounced after he had assembled the dais
in the Senate and taken the gayei ID ms
hand this afternoon.
The long Senator from Morris was the
third man to secure the recognition OF the
chair.
"I have a bill to offer" he said as he
ratified paper to attract the attention OF
page, and handed it over to the boy
when he came.
Reader Honeyman opened it.
Senate bill No. B." he announced, AN
act to fix the compensation of the Cover
nor"
II move that the title be taken for the
first reading, and that the bill be put on
second reading" pursued Mr.. Werts,
who had not relinquished the floor.
No objection was made and Honeyman
read it through. Then it was seen to be
an act increasing the salary of the Gov
ernor with the beginning of the new Gov
ernor's term to $4,000 per year. No one
had any amendment to offer, and It's sec
opd reading was over when the Reading
Clerk folded it up and stored it in q
pigeonhole in the desk before him.
ON FINAL PASSAGE.
Another bill was offered and then the
Morris Senator claimed the floor again
He had long and narrow strip of paper
bound round with blue and red tape In
his hand.
II have a bill to report correctly en-
crossed, 2 he explained as a page grabbed
il and rushed to the secretary's desk
with it.
Senate bill No. g." Honeyman read
"sAn act to fix the compensation of the
Governor reported correctly engrOssed. =
II move that the rules be suspended" !"
directed Mr.. Werts, ''alld that the bill be
put on final passage"
Nevius announced, 1.-THE bill will take
that course. The chair hears none. Sec
retary will call the roll.
Secretary Mott seized a Senate tally
list and began calling out the names OF
the Senators. The names OF three Re
publican Senators headed it. They
answered with dead silence. Finally q
Democratic Senator voted faye" and
then another and another, and then
Gardner broke the ice for the Republicans
with another decisive aye, and Nevius
followed suit. Four or five negative Re
publican votes followed, and Wyckotf,
the Democratic Senator from Warren,
voted no with them. But his break
amounted to nothing Many Republican
Senators had recorded themselves favor
ably, and the completed roll-calf showed
thirteen votes FOR it ami six against It.
IT is PASSED.
'This bill is passed" !" President Nevius
ratified off; "the president will sign the
same, send it to the House, and ask con-
currence therein"
Thus, without the slightest friction. did
the Republican Senate pay homage to the
value of Governor Abbett's services to the
State.
The bill was not sent TO the Assembly
Chamber today, but Mr.. Vorhees, the Re
publican leader on that side of the hall,
says that it will meet with no opposition
when it reaches there tomorrow.
