pired.
The closing hours of each house
were marked by less riotous scenes
than usual. The seats on the floor of
both houses were occupied by the cur.
ious, who had come to see n legisla.
ture break up. They listened to n
number of congratulatory and concilia-
tory speeches, the healing of breaches
made in the heated debates, done with
less disorder than is customary.
The Legislature broke several rec
ords, most of which were in astonish-
ing directions. For many years the
closing hour of each recurring assem-
bly, has been used in making COM
promise on the general appropriation
bill, which has been held up by some
coterie pushing bad bills through. This
year the appropriation bill went to the
governor two days before the session
closed and was signed before adjourn
ment.
If the Fifteenth General Assembly
the business of both houses had been
practically completed at o'clock on
the afternoon of the last day, leaving
all the time to midnight for general
visiting period among members. There
was no need'of turning back the clock,
no threats of forcing an extra session
in order to get members to vote for
measures they feared.
Another record broken was that no
session at all of the House and only
a brief session of the Senate was held
on the Sunday proceeding the last day.
At that time the members felt that
business had been so far advanced that
