Dover, Jan. 19.-Both branches Of
the General Assembly have adopted
over the governors veto the resolu-
ton authorizing the employment of
A. f. Polk, Philip @. Churchman and
Walter H. Hayes as attorneys to the
Legislature.
The matter came before the House
yesterday afternoon, when Representa-
tive Robertson moved that the vote by
which the resolution had been adopted
be RECONSTRUCTED. Next, at the suggestion
Of Representative McNulty, the gov
ernor's objections We're read, after
which Representative Robertson moved
that the resolution again be adopted.
Representative Donahoe urged the |
members to halt, and think how they |
were going to stand before the tax
payers. He said there is not such n |
condition now as there was during the |
last legislative session. He remarked |
that he was opposed to starting q
pension system.for tho State. He de-
clared the scheme to so over the gov
ernor's veto was cold blooded and we'll
arranged.
Representative Robertson commended
that it would be right to vote III favor
of the resolution.
Representative Donahoe to Repre-
sentative Robertson: ''Isn't there a
Niger in the wood piles''
5 Representative Robertson to Repre-
sentative Donahoe: 81 refer you TO the
Senate, and remind you that its politi
cal complexion is not the same as the
Houses
Representative Donahoe THE Senate
IS satisfied with one Attorney
Representative Robertson = 'tThe
Senate wants three ATTORNEYS
Representative McNulty said it
would be unfair for the House to have
two attorneys and tho Senate to have
only one attorney. He thought the
House should be satisfied with one
attorney; then the members could go
to their constituents and say 1--WE did
the best We could. :"
