There has always been considerable rivalry

Governor Hill is going to have another chance
to show his devotion to his friends the
saloonkeepers, by vetoing a liquor bill passed
by Republican votes. The Senate yestAday
passed the Excise bill, commonly known as
the Hendricks bill. which has the support OF
the earnest friends of practical temperance
reform who have heretofore favored an avowed
high-license policy. This bill is not high
license measure, strictly speaking, and it was
carefully drawn with the intention of meeting
the objections hitherto made by the Governor
to measures on this subject. Senator Laughlin
declined to vote with his fellow Republicans
and the bill was passed by II affirmative votes
just majority. Favorable action in the As
sembly is confidently looked for, and then the
Governor will rack his brain to discover rea-
sons for not approving it which will not be
too glaringly inconsistent with what he has said
in previous veto messages on this subject. En-
cellent and worthy measures continually
brought to naught by Executive action or non
action must be looked for as long as ID. Is. Hill
occupies the Governors chair.
