Important Debate in Massachusetts,.

Governor WILLIAM L. DOUGLAS of
Massachusetts, vetoed the bill granting
bounty to all survivors of the civil war
who did not receive one on enlistment,
justifying his action on the ground that
the bill was unconstitutional, and, even
were It constitutional, would put bur-
den on the Commonwealth it was tinan-
cially unable to bear Governor JOHN
L. BATES vetoed similar bill last year,
and the unpopularity he incurred thereby
among the "old soldiers" cost him a
good many votes in the fall.
When Governor DOUGLASS veto was
received in the House half day was
spent in debating it. The Springfield
Republican rescued parts of the debate
from the obscurity that awaits most
legislative speeches. There was some
talk about the constitutionality of the
measure, but the general character of
the addresses may be judged best from
these burning periods with which the
Representatives sought to illuminate an
obscure subject:
"Mr. ScHorIsLp closed with stirring appeal to
do Justice to the old soldiers who had helped to
save the Ship OF State and closed amid applause"
-Mr. BRIoHAM OF Marlboro argued that
the old soldiers had offered their all on the altar
OF the country. and It was well that tho other side
had dropped the financial argument
"Mr CALLAHAN OF Lawrence for the bill. said
