Gov. TooLE has failed sgain TO rise
above craftsmanship and be a governor.
The constitution requires that on the
sesond day Of the leg slstive session he
shall send to the house his estimate Of
appropriations needed. As be did bot
do this on the second day Of the pres
ent session, il was assumed that he
doubted the legality Of the democratic
house, and RETAINED from official in
with IL on that account. But
on the ninth day, o by a singular
coincidence, the day on with the
democratic assemblage rejected the re-
publican proposition for compromise,
though prior TO that action, he sends
TO the democratic house his official
document, williully assuming the res
possibility of permitting this unofh-
eial body TO pass appropriation bills Of
which the state il in dire need. but
which will be absolutely worthless
when passed. Among the items in
the governors schedule Of estimates is
SlS,O 200 to pay the democratic rumps of
last year. and 81, 700 for the remunera-
ii q OF the eight democratic
who ran away in order that they
might live to fight another day. There
: no mistake about Gov. TOOle being
"a democrat, and, moreover. the most
narrow-gauged one in the whole state.

recognition until the compromise mat
