that the Governor will refuse to recognize
! that the provisions of section 8, article !, |
of the constitution suspend his power a
Governor and that the powers and duties

governor It is n matter Of the highest !
Importance To this state that chief eX-
ecutive universally recognized by the peo-
pie of the state as such, be acting as
Governor without cessation, and desire |
to call the attention Of tn" Legislature !
to this situation at this time in order
that it may be in a position, If any contin- |
gencY shall arise to use its power to the |
maintenance and continuance Of single |
recognized government in this state. and
| hope that nothing will be done by the
present Governor, under existing condi |
tions, to add to the peril TO which the !
state has already been brought through
the matters which have been presented TO |
the Senate this afternoon.
The Senate then adjourned until Au-
