EERIATES' HONE


Albany March II (SpeciaD.-The Lieutenant
Governor of New-York has spoken without
securing the consent of Clarence Lexow, OF
Nyack, and is it any wonder that the latter
thorourhly aroused by this lack Of servity to
Rockland County's great statesman, should ex-
pct the S.nate Of New-York t. oensuce its Presi-
dent? When the Senate convened this morning
Senator Lexow. as Is fully reported in other COL
umns Of the Tribune, attacked Lieutenant
Governor saxton because Of his published state
ment concerning the consolidation Dill now
pending in the Legislature. The speech of
Senator Lexow proved veritable boomerang
falling back upon it's maker. The Senate re-
fused to heal Mr.. Lexow's wounded feehngs'
and supported the Lieutenart-Governori Ill MS
rights of free speech although an officer Of the
