have him pardoned. A petition is being
prepared and will be circulated some

Nav 6. John IL. Rodney, who repre-
sents White. said this morning that he

Tariff Revision.
The speaker then took up the ques-
tion of tariff revision. The Treasury
surplus was unnecessary. he said. Free
coal. free beef. and free necessaries
generally were wanted by the people.
Mr.. Hill attacked the Odell admins
tration for taxing the deposits OF saw
ings banks. and said the people had a
right to know what schemes of indirect
taxation the governor had in mind.
.'1'he present disclosures whereby it
has been shown that the present execu-
tive of the State is and has been a stock
holder in a large grocery corporation.
which has been largely engaged In sell
ing supplies to State institutions during
the last two years. has greatly shocked
the people of the State. The charge has;
not only been proved. but virtually con-
fessed.
There are no mitigating circumstances
connected with the transaction. 1t is
bad enough when political motives actu-
ate the effort to secure the control Of
the great humanitarian institutions of
the State. but it is worse when merce-
nary motives are permitted to dictate the
entire reorganization Of those institu-
tions for the purpose of controlling the

"It will mean the initiation of that
movement which will ultimately lead to
the election of the United States Sena-

States instead of by State legislatures.
"A Democratic victory in this State
will mean the restoration of economical
administration in every department of
the State government, with an honest
and genuine tax rate-not fraudulent
and fictitious one.
1T will mean an absolute divorce of
the executive department at Albany and
of every charitable institution from any
connection with the grocery business
for the benefit of the private fortune of
the governor of the State.
Finally, Democratic victory will
clear the political atmosphere of the

Their talk was short because of the

perhaps for that reason he had not read

What he selected for omission was the
