bill No. 81, entitled An act making an

al other expenses of the senate when law
fully IN session for the trial OF election
contest cases
The attempts 10 secure the aooroo-is-
ton provided for in this act have been
characterized either by an advantage or
evasion which can not be amended.
1T first appeared as a Sl5,010 item in
senate bill No. ass, which passed the sen
ate March G. and in this {, was plainly
designated as An appropriation 70 pay
the per diem and mileage of members Of
the senate and lieutenant governor; and
per diem OF officers. clerks. messengers
and other employees Of the senate. and
mileage and fees for witnesses In the ju-
diciaI contest case Of Falcon Us. Stuart.
and such other expenses connected there
with or may be authorized by the SEN
ate
This bill was recalled By the senate
after it had been messaged to ne house.
and the same item was attached IS a
rider to house bill No. S24 providing fer
the usual executive and judicial apo-3pri-
atoms. and the threat was openly made
by many. IL not a majority. q the mem
bers of the senate. that unless the cxecu-
tive and judicial appropriation btu passed
with this rider attached. # could Tot
pass at al, and the several courts and
state officers would be left without the
means OF carrying on the several instl-
tutions of the state government.
The fact that the act making the ap-
was first incorporated IN the
appropriation bill. and
Text attached as a rider 20 the executive
and judicial appropriation bin. coupled
with the threat above mentioned. is Of
Itself conclusive evidence that It's friends
had no confidence IN its own merits
This attempt 20 coerce the house into
passing. and the executive into aourov-
.ng. the executive and judicial s9Dro3ria-
