The fourth day in the senate. after
considerable miscellaneous business, was
marked by a message from Governor
Lewelling which was no surprise to the
politicians who knew what to expect.
The governor made big batch OF ap-
polntments for the senate's consideration,
which had been made since the session
of the legislature two years ago and had
never been confirmed These appoint
ments unless confirmed would make the
offices open to Republican appointments
by Governor Morrill, By the confirmation
which the Populist majority is certain
to give, the offices cannot be removed, it
is alleged, until the ends of their terms
except for cause. This does not apply
to the police commissioners
The message read:
