HRoM THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRTBUyE.
Albany. March 16.-Bishop Doane, Of the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese of Albany. on March delivered an
excellent address before Senate committee in support
Of senator lcndrchs's High License bill. In his ad
dress bishop Doanc made aluson to Governor
Hin which led people 10 infer that the Governor would
sign the bill if Il met with the approval OF the Lcgis
laturc. This was the Interpretation put upon Bishop
Doanc's speech by The Tribune and other newspapers
But the Bishop hastcncd to deny. in The Tribune that
h. had spoken by the authority Of the Governor and to
say that his speech had been misntcrpiccd An cN
animation Of the Bishops speech in the light Of this
declaration shows that all that he intended TO say was
that the bill had been drafted with view OF avoiding
the objections which Governor I had made 10 other
high license bills passed I'm previous years, and that
II only such measure that would receive tl'
Governors signature The Bishop clearly thought that
the bill he cXtollng a measure Of TINS knd.
However. the fact that Bishop Doanc's speech was
mi.intcrprctcd la, brought from The Wine and spirit
Gazette OF New York. the official organ of the liquor
dealer, Of the state. highly important declaration

journal and is given below:
