AGAINST ALL LoBBIEs.

Whereas, the custom heretofore
and recently practiced by certain fed
eral appointees and others OF gather
ing at the state capital at or near the
opening OF each session Of the legis-
iature. for the purpose OF controlling
and debating the organization OF the
house n the senate and the selection
OF the subordinate officials, is a gross
violation of the proprieties and repug-
nant to all good citizens and ~refuting
alike upon the honesty and ability of
the members OF the legislature; and.
Whereas, the members of the Iegis-
iature are elected TO serve the state,
and are responsible not to a coterie of
s~elf-appointed bosses, but to their CON
stltuency; therefore, be 1t
resolved, That this house does. most
earnestly protest against any such ac-
uon OF the kind, as being vicious in
the extreme and inimical to the pub
lie good and deserving OF the censure
OF all good citizens"
