despatch Of yesterday. Tho address
OF President >. N. Thurston Of the
league, who is an hon ore1 son Of the Green
Mountain State, deserves more, however,
than the brief space devoted to It by tho
Associated Press report Of tho convention.
Judge Thurston has made some notable
speeches since lie accepted tho presidency Of
the league and that which he delivered at
the opening Of tho Cincinnati convention
ranked among his best EFFORT. After speak
ing IN glowing terms OF tie republican clubs
and their work he referred to the record Of
the republican party which hs said hal a.
ways been The advocate Of labor's causs.
The pcrty was born OF the conscience o. the
nneseooth cahtury, which would no longer

State of vermont--By Carroll g. Page,
Governor.
The scenic attractions of Vermont are recos-
nized as among the finest in the world. We
lack the grandeur of the Yosemite, and even
some of our sister New England States excel
lis in expanse of unbrokon wilderness, but In
her smiling valleys, beautiful lakes and rug
ged mountains our little State has wealth OF
loveliness which can be nowhere surpassed.
Hut nature courts the cooperation OF man.
The garden lett to itself changes to waste,
but the waste under the united care OF man
and nature blossoms into a garden.
The scenes OF beauty which nature has 20
prodigaliy spread about US may be touched in
to more perfect loneliness by the organized
Efforts of our people. Our hiiisides anu our
valleys would be more valuable by reason Of
tho home market created for us by the large
mum bers that would annually make Vermont
their summer home were we more enterpris-
ing in adding to the natural attractiven"-s of
our State by surrounding our homes. school
houses and churches with SHRUBS and shade
trees, and frnging our roadsides with the
rich verduro OF the oak, the elm and the
maple,
Approaching the fact that concerted effort
avails, want of union and Organizat ion
fails do hereby designate Friday, the first day
Of May, a. D., 1891. as Arbor day, and recon-
mend that the good people OF our state devote
that day to tree planting,

At the last moment Mr. Dingley changed
his vote to the negative and the speaker
announced the vote to be yeas, l42 NAYS,

publicans were jubilant.
Then came the vote on the motion TO
reconsider. This motion was agreed to
yeas. AS: nays, 49, and the question
again required on ordering the bin to a
third reading.
The third reading OF the bill was ordered
yeas, 147; nays. l45.
Mr.. Cannon Ill moved that the bill
be recommitted TO the committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries with insiruc-
tinns to that committee to report back
forthwith bill similar TO the senate bill
on the same subject-to provide for ocean
mail service between the United States
and foreign ports.
Mr.. Bland raised the point that the CON-
mittee could not be directed to report
forthwith"
The speaker ruled that Mr.. Cannon's
motion was in order and put the previous
question on the motion, which was or
dered-yeas, 125; NAYS, los. The question
then followed on Mr. Cannon's motion to
recOmmt with instructions, and it was
carried-yeas. l43; nays, 142.

raised that the bill had lost its privileged
character and must take its place at the
foot of the calendar.
The speaker overruled the point Of order
and the senate bill, az amended, was
passed-yeas, l40; nays, l20. Mr.. Farquhar
moved that a conference be ordered.
