NO PROMISE TO MERRITT.

Edwin A Merritt, jr-, of ST. Lawrence County, as
sorting his intention to remain a candidate for
Speaker Of the Assembly and critcisng Governor
Higgins for naming James W. Wadsworth, jr.. Of
Livingston County, his choice, was the subject
of comment by the Governor this afternoon.
IT have read the statement of MT. Merritt said
the Governor. He seems to imply that 1 have at
some time in way committed myself in
support of his candidacy at least pledged my
self not TO oppose it. have done neither Of these
things
You will recall that some time ego I said very
frankly. with reference to the Speakership, that if
I should candidate so far in the lead that
his election seemed probable, and should feel that
his election was for any reason improper not for
the best interests of the people of the State. I
should feel called upon to take the people into my
confidence and express my own opinion in the
matter
AT that time Mr. Merritt came to me and asked
if I intended TO include him in such a category.
told him that did not. But did not commit my
self to his support either by action or by the with
holding of action.
The time came when believed it proper for me
to declare publicly my own personal views, and I
did So with 10 motive except to subserve the wei
fare of the people and of the Republican party"
The Governors attention was called to speech
quoted by United States Senator Spooner of Wis
consin yesterday in Congress in which apparently
Governor Higgins was by inference criticised as
exemplifying in his attitude the Speakership
tendency of the executive branches of State and
tionaI governments to interfere improperly with
the legislative.

the State.
II do not understand he continued. that when
I was elected Governor 1 was thereby precluded
from holding expressing my personal opinion in
important matters affecting the welfare of the
State and of my party. believe I have still in
those matters the rights Of private citizen"

ROGERS MAY CONTEST.

Mr.. Merritt's statement was:

both Rogers and Merritt and elevate wads-
worth, wasn't it? Think it over.
Mr.. Merritts statement was:
My attention has been called to the remarks
of Governor Higgins, made with reference to the
statement which l gave the press yesterday of
my position. Apparently he did not determine
TO abandon his position OF non interference with
the Speakership contest until the time had ar
rived when my nomination seemed probable. I
have stated that Governor Higgins promised not
to interfere, and this he does not deny. / never
had the slightest reason to suppose that he
would or that he had changed his point of view.
The Governor of course understands that his
interest ia reference to political affairs than
those of private citizen. and for that reason
his obligation to treat candidates for the Speak
ership fairly and courteously is the greater.
The Governor speaks of the confidence which
he has in the integrity of the men composing the
Assembly and If he is sincere in this 1t would
seem that he should leave the matter of the
choice of the Speaker entirely in the hands of
such men. The fact Is that the Governor has
undertaken to dictate and make the choice Of
Speaker not an act of the legislative body, but
matter Of appointment. No disclaimer on his
part Of an intention to set himself up as
political boss" counts anything against the
positive course which he has taken.
He is quoted this morning as saying In an
other interview, Il hardly believe the President
would think it proper to interfere In such a
matter as the selection of a Speaker OF the As
sembly." 1 feel quite sure that he has accu-
rateIy stated the Presidents position in this
matter, and the propriety of adopting such a
course for himself would should think, appeal
to him. The Republican members of the As
sembly are abundantly competent and have men
of sufficient character and ability to choose
from, SO that they can safely be trusted to at
tend to the business Of electing their officers
and transacting the business of the session in a
proper manner and in accordance with the oath
of office which they take
In handling the important and serious bust
of the coming winter it will readily occur
to those familiar with such matters that the
executive Office will have plenty to do to per-
form in satisfactory manner the duties which
the constitution imposes upon. the chief execu-
tive of the State. The course which Governor
Higgins has taken has aroused much feeling.
particularly among large number of the
bers of the Assembly who entitled to con-
sideration, and / do not believe that his selec
ton Of Mr.. Wadswortfl will be Endorsed I have
seen many members who express the greatest
dissatisfaction with the course the Governor has
taken.
