Eighteenth Day.
At the opening of the session re
ply was received from Governor Waite
to the petition of the Senate that he
adjourn the session. The governor
says;
Transmitted with the certified copy
ment Of the action of the Senate, as
the higher branch of the state legisla-
ture, upon the list of nominations sent
in by the executive, which seems to
indicate that however well fixed
may be the determination of the SEN
ate to do no legislation at this extra
ordinary session, that determination is
not 'unalterable. >"
He proceeds to review the situation
in very sarcastic manner;
'ln my opinion the governor of this
state would be derelict in his duty if
he availed himself of any authority
given to him by the constitution to
hinder house honestly striving to
legislate in the interest of the people
by giving aid and assistance to body
rcsorting to extreme and even reyolu-
tlonary measures to prevent the con
sideraton of acts calculated to promote
the general welfare.
III the senators mean to defeat or
even refuse to consider the measures
of relief passed by the House, let them
do so openly and above board, by their
votes, and not seek to compel House,
by large majority opposed to such a
policy, and an executive wholly OPP
posed, to share with the Senate in the
odium and responsibility that must at
tach to such high handed and revolu-
tionary proceedings"
