experiment at an early day."
This resolution passed unanimously
without debate.
Mr.. Goudy of Portland, suggested that
by andsTwitchelI should be printed In all
the papers of the state. 1t was accord
ingly voteds that the PRESS of the state
be requested to publish the papers IN
full. There was also talk of pu ollshlhg
in pamphlet form other papers that nave
been delivered to the Board.
Mr.. Hichborn of Augusta, presented
seigniorage Bill
as unwise, illogical and dangerous, ana
urging President Cleveland to veto 1t.
-. Hon. John W. Deering OF Portland
seconded this resolution, with approval.
Secretary M. N. Rich thought the reso-
luton savored too much of politics, and
hoped the resolution would not pass, it
| would have no effect on the Presldeht
and might hurt the Board.
| Mr. HIGH born said he believed that the
prosperity OF Maine depended upon an
| absolutely unshakable, Interchangeable,
currency basis. Whatever tends to tear
us from our moorings tends to lnJure
| Maine.
Mr.. G. N. Wey mouth of Biddeford, was
opposed to the resolution and dld not
| hesitate to say SO.
Colonel Nealley, of Lewiston, moved
to lay the resolution on the table on the
ground that it smacked of politics.
Hon.John W. Deering defended the
resolution. The seigniorage bill was
hostile to the good faith of the nation,
and he did not believe the President
would sign it. Whatwere they there for
| if not to discuss measures which were
important to the nation and state?
President Lord was inclined to think
that the resolution was not admissible
under the Boards constitution, which
| forbids sectarian religion" ana
partisan politics" in the discussions,
although he sympathized personally
with the resolution.
Mr.. Parkhurs5 of Bangor, also urged
that the matter be laid on the table IN
the interest of harmony. 1t was done so
| without much contest.
