The state is in q houriShiug condition. Her
people are prosperous. If there be discon-
tent anywhere among any class. 1T Is
rot manifest. While our population Is In
creasing, the court records indicate that
crime is decreasing. Fewer persons were
sent ossthe penitentiary during the Last
year than In any other, save one, In tho
last quarter Of a century. The relations
between capital and labor have been ex-
ceptionally cordial. and deeds Of violence
have been few. The fair record of the
state has not been married by an illegal ex-
ecution In more than a decade. Justice &C.
cording to law, the distinctive feature OF
Anglican liberty, is the recognized rule OF
cur people. With no small degree Of pride
for the past history Of my state, rejoicing
in her present grea tness, hopeful for her
future, and in the full confidence that the
conservative wisdom of your honorable
body will preserve and strengthen all that
is good and cure that which may need
correction. ! submit the foregoing.
