New-York tribune., 1891-03-06

c.rs.d hv the former refusal Of Hill to honor requ
sition bearing the seal Of the State and signed by
the man whs, under the Constitution Is exercising
the functions of the Governor 1t is useless to waste
words on the situation. One has to be here
and see IT, to know how deeply David b.
Hill has offended the people OF Connecticut.
The Democratic Senate, bound hand and foot at the
beginpine by the trickery of the Hill men, squirms
and struggles 10 break the meshes in which 1t Is en-
yeopea but when the representatives of the Peanut
Governor draw the strings tighter the Senate submits
ab.ctlv IL is almost pltiable to these Senator's
none OF them used to dealing with chcanery and po-
ntical trckery-trying 70 break away hom their
thraldom and then being unsuccessful, trying TO con-
vince themselves that they are right This morning
the Senate met, and after listening to a long and
fervent prayer adjourned. The master at Albany
had sent no word and they knew not what to do;
so they prayed and adjourned which perhaps was
quite as well for the interests OF the state II they
had been called upon by Mr. Hill to so through some
OF those gyrations which he calls Z" good politics.
The full text OF the opinion delivered by Governor
Hill his refusal TO honor the equsltion OF Governor
Bulkeley has not yet been received here. Such por-
tions have been sent bear strong resemblance to
the speech Of senator Thayer delivered In the Senate
yesterday the resolution to prevent the Executives
secretary from having admission the Senate chamber
IN fact several phrases identical, word for word
The Tribune stated in this correspondence yesterday
that Senator Thayers law and logic Of the strong
Albany variety. Such portions Of Governor Hills
opinion have been received corroborate that state
ment. Can any reasonable man have any longer
doubt OF the connection between the cOterie of men
who dragging the Connecticut Democracy down
at Hartford and the arch-schemer at Albany
There is no doubt but that the better element OF
the Democratic party hero desired to Join with the
Republicans In an appeal to the Supreme Court for
the settlement Of the present difficulties 1t Is Just
certain that the influence of Governor Hlps rep
N~tx..
peal out Of the present state OF affairs these people
have hoped and still hope to make political capital
The fatal precipitancy with which the Senate was
induced to swear in the Democratic claimants has
bound that body to the Wheel and it the Senators
will be broke
In the House to-day Mr. Walker bubbled over, and
afforded diversion When the Executives sec
retary came in with message from the Governor, Mr.
Walker arose and asked of Speaker Paige:
"Who is the Governor Of Connecticut"
Speaker Paige gave emphatic rap with his gavel
and replied. in voice which rang in the arched roof,
At % once from all over the House and from the gal
eries cheer after cheer went up Mr. Wv walker s geS
lost in the tumult Of applause called forth by Governor
Bukeeys name. Mr. Walker subsequently made made,
Paige called Mr. Greene, of Norwich to the chair and
answered Mr. Walker in pithy speech, IN which ne
said that if there had been mlSrepreseata4&ns & IN te @
pamphlet which Mr.. Walker had issued year ago.
Mr.. Walker, II must be renem6ered umul mleNi pro
fe.sed himself q strong Republican. The KepuDlcan
party had no use for him. and lie naturally gTavtaed
to the Hin Democrats. and tried to be elected leader
Of the Democratic party on the n9or Of the HonSe;
Falling in this he made himself the selfconstituted
mou,hpiece Of the Hill Democracy and has in TINS Ms
first appearance as Democrat so borne himself as to
earn denunciaon from both parties.
Both houses of the Legislature adjourned today, ',o
Senate 10 meet on Wednesday next and the House 70
meet on Tuesday. The bill providing for the sub
mission OF the questions involved In the present as
pnte to the supreme Court will be ready when tho
