The Honorable S. H. Love President
Of the Senate-Dear Sir / have the

state why. i'll view of my having been

Nh w. ID. Cstndland as members of the
state board OF land commissioners for
the term of two years. j again submit
The same appointments for your advice
and confirmation and insist;
First That no Official statement OF
Ia q AFT
tton of these gentlemen has coached
me, and / am therefore under the neccs-
stty OF relying on the comment OF news
papers, slnd ON rumorS, which, as you
Know, cannot always be relied on, as
your reasons.
Second, That Notwithstanding mis-
hearsay- | ana firmly convinced that the
gentlemen are honest. capable, and
worthy OF the confidence OF the citizens
of the state And this conviction Is
based, not on conjecture, but on
knowledge Of the interior working Of
the land office during the incumDonCy
of the present board.
Third. That If unsustalned runaor and
conjecture are 70 be taken as final
proof, even the best Of citizens win not
be safe from Censure.

WINGED OF the derelIctiun and Unworthi-
ness OF these gentlemen. l respectfully
mold that their nominations should be
confirmed. For il has been rule OF
my life not 10 condemn a man until In
dLsputable proof Of his guilt has been
Produced.

vices ] have the honor Of being yours

motion to lay the whole matter on the
table carried unanimously, and there
twill remain permanently II the TWO

will be through recess appointments
which Gov Cutler has a right to make.
JOSEPH TURNED DOWN
The senate refused peremp,orlIy TO
confirm the appointment by Gov. Cutler
of Speaker Joseph of the house as
member Of the STAKE industrial school
The feeling between the senate and TN,
speaker has been of the strained sort
Tor many weeks and when members of
the upper house were asked why they
refused to confirm Mr.. Joseph, thes
simply answered Because he is not
ut person for the place That Is sui
hcient" But the objection TO Jos
eph seems TO be almost entirely per-
al. 1t may be that he viii be q recess
