BANKS AFTER
 THE GOVERNOR
Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page)
 
 What is said by an idle person has little weight compared to what is said by the governor of the state. feel that reply should be made to the fam ous speech of the governor in New Ha- ven. Take this paragraph, in which he says that if the general assembly would pass one measure recommended by the governor it would be a miracle. This statement was made, notwithstanding the fact that on the very day of the speech, bill containing the recommen- d9tions of the governor regarding the banking interests was passed, and a few weeks befor ethe judiciary com mittee reported favorably and the house passed exactly what the gover- nor asked concerning the employers li- ability.
 T say that the words of his exceilen- cyswere uttered idly and had no mean ing, and were in conflict with the facts.
 "I desire to refer to part of the governors speech which I believe was directed at me. He said that the ma jority of the legislators were honest but lack ease of expression, and rely oa those who, by previous experience, are qualified to direct. and are named to lead (Here MT, Banks repeated the expression, named to lead!' with en- phaa!s on the named.) He also said they were waiting for a leader with the force to lead them in otAer di- rectlons than they are going. l am thereby marked and branded as one who by reason of inexperlence takes advantage to lead this house to do what it ought not to do. I also read in the speech that the eyes of the state is on the capitol, and the people want to know why they have been denied thA right of trial by jury.
 "Why should I be branded as one opposed to the rights of the people? Four years ago 1 voted In committee and on the floor of the house for the principle of trial by jury, but MT. Woodruff, who was in the senate at the time, voted against the principle. Why should the governor charge me with | or posing it, when l have constantly urged it?" (Applause).
 q can hold up my hands and say that no man outside of members of my committee has approached me in deposition to the measures advocated | by the governor" (Mr. Banks held up both hands, and spoke earnestly. But l cay say, that the governor approach ed me, properly enough, and has urged the passage of the bill.
 A murmur went through the house at this statement

NEW TROUT BILL.
Measure Was fin Interest of Owners of
 Preserves Only.

Hartford. May 1.-The senate, to- day, rejected the seven-inch trout bill passed by the house, yesterday. Sem ator Briggs said such legislation would be an injustice to thousands of fisher men who occasionally take an after noon off. It was in the interest only of the owners of trout preserves. He said that the other day four men in Afiddlesex county went over into Litch- field county, and when they came home they said they had caught 1S5 trout, many of them less than six inches in length, although the law limits the number to 30 for each fisherman. The men said they threw back about half the number which they caught.

Another play which has attracted
