In the assembly yesterday Mr.. LIE
Roy made motion to revive the bill,
| killed the day before, for an alter
| nation yearly of holidays in honor of
| Washington and Lincoln, and spoke
eloquenr1y for the old soldier who was
keeping alive the spirit of patriotism
in this country. Twice he was enthu-
siastically applauded at the end, of
eloquent periods. He carried the
and referred to the committee on
state affairs. Mr.. Thomas, who, the
day before had expressed his opinion
that the proposal did not seem right
to him, withdrew his opposition; but
the speaker finally declared that he
disagreed with the alternating pro-
position and would be glad to vote to
make Lincoln's birthday legal holt
day. That probably is the form the
matter will take.
