extension furnishes an exception to this
rule. The commission has completed the
work assigned TO it with the funds at its
command, and present to the Legislature
full, honest, itemized statement of its
stewardship.
Now, whatever report the commission
hSd made, this same criticism would have
followed. This WAS determined some
time ago and the persons who vert to acl
as "Agitators" were carefully instructed
in their parts. If Governor Burleigh''
name had never been mentioned As can
didate for Congress in the third Congress
sionsl district, this little political farce
would never have been enacted. So fai
as the criticisms on the Governor are con-
cerned, their purpose has been so trans
parent as to destroy most of their force,
especially as they have been accompanied
by falsehood. Governor Burleigh was not
a member of that commission ex ofiicio.
He stood upon the same basis as the other
members of it. The hard work it placed
upon him in connection with the commits
sion was entirely outside the duties of his
office He was rs much AZ liberty to have
declined to perform them as any Other
member of the commission, and such beins
the case, is as Justly entitled to pay for hi,
services. DUNG OUT work scarcely day
passed that we did not have 10 go to Gov
ernor Burlsigh for advice or instruction or
some matter connected with our work. We
were always able to find him, and he wa'
always ready to give the most careful ant
painstaking attention TO every question thai
presented itself. We know these matters
made large inroads upon his time. With
out disparagement of any of his associ
ates upon the commission we may say
that he devoted far more time and atten'
ton to its work than any other man. We
slssys found him ready in his grasp OF
affairs and thoroughly practical in his sug
ges.ions. He was patient in his study oil
details, and never permitted himself tc
reach decision before considering iht
matter Involved in all its bearings From
the beginning to the end of the work he
was snimsied only by an earnest desire tt
keep within the limits of the amoun
AVAILABLE, and to have building that would
he credit to the State. With the able
assistance of his associates he has succeed
ed in doing both. and whatever may be the
tlsrums sounded by interested politicians
xe cay he is Justly deserving of the thanks
Of the people of Maine for the faithful
manner in which he hes subserved theil
interests in this matter.
