DEMOCRATIC AssEMBLYMEN FRIGHTENED BY


THE PROPOSITION TO HAVE IT READ.
Albany. Feb. (spcciaD-Iiamil,on Fish, r.. the
Republican member OF the Assembly from Putnam
County. almost created panic on the Democratic side
OF the House this morning and 1t thought that
several OF the members on that side OF the chamber
would be under a physicians from pros
tration. All that Mr.. Fish did to create much
trouble 10 ask the Speaker TO have the clerk Of
the Assembly read Governor Flowers veto message
Them that all The members could hear what he
had say in regard to the enactment OF such leSsla
ton the bill pushed through by the majority 10 get
the indicted Brooklyn officials out OF their trouble
the Columbian celebration expenditures. The Gov
took practically the stand In his veto
that taken by Asscmblyman Maby. the Republican
leader Mr.. Fish and Assemblyman Ainsworth when
the measure before the Assembly for discussion.
on this account MIR. Fish particularly anxious
have the message read in the Assembly, so that
timely warning could be taken from It.
II was on this account, also, that tho Democrats did
not want to hear it read for thirty seconds after
the request had been made the Assembly chamber
looked like the floor Of the Stock Exchange on day
when the bottom has tumbed out Of the market Not
less than seventeen Democratic members we're on
their feet with objections. Leader Quigley, Leader
sullivan, Leader O'Connor, Leader Roche. Leader
Byrncs and many other leaders were all prepared
with points OF order and objections. AS all OF them
tried talk Mt the time, neither the Speaker
nor any else could understand the point OF any
objection. But being loyal Democrat, and seeing
that all the Democratic leaders wcro In harmony In
obectlng to the reading Of the message he said that
the point of order well taken. Whose point OF
order or what point OF order 1t was could not be
made out. The resolution to read the message was
thrown out of court, and the frightened members
csOrted to smelling salts and cracked Ice TO cool their
much strained nerves.

mission to be appointed by Mayor Gilroy, In case
Farquhars bill gets through. could not sell the
franchise for the road. 1t has been said in these
dispatches before that the political organization OF
which Farquhar is n member does not mean that
anything shall be done TO injure the Manhattan Ee-
waited Railroad Company for some time TO come ana
that the Tammany Hall bosses were opposed 10 the
scheme advanced by Farquhar and the members OF
the Real Estate Exchange to compel tile city 10
build the road The reason given for their opposition
was that the required to construct the rtad
would compel Issue OF bonds TO an amount greater
Than the city can constitutlonav Issue That reason
holds GOOD now. Mr.. Farquhar Is exceedingly dell
