MAINE LEGISLATURE.
CONTINUED from Page Six.)

thousands of dollars would have been
, expended in sending our State militia
/ To Washington if that proposition had
, once got a foothold. / hope that His
Excellency, the Governor, and his
council, if they want to go will go II
the inauguration, but if they go.
hope they will have the independence
to pay their own bills; they are album
dainty able to do so. | think too
much of our Governor and council to
make them State paupers CAP
plause}
Mr.. NEWBERT of Augusta. Mr..
Speaker, do not suppose it is the
purpose of this bill to make the Gov
ernor and his staff State paupers. If
the State desires that the Governor
and his staff should attend the in
auguration ceremonies, | am very sure
that the State of Maine is amply able
and willing to pay the bills.
Personally, / have, not any interest
in this bill at all; | only rise to eX-
press some surprise al this change Of
attitude on the part of certain gentle
men in this Legislature towards this
bill ] had supposed it was an ad e
ministration measure, nor do / know
now to the contrary, and as | have
looked through the files this bill APP
pealed to me as a sensible one. Gem
tlemen, il must have appealed to the
gentlemen Of the joint committee haV-
ing the matter in charge, because that
committee gave a unanimous report in
its favor. it must have appealed to the
honorable Senate yesterday. because
the Senate passed this matter to be
engrossed by vote of II to II. II
certainly seems that it is of some
practical moment that the State Of
Maine be represented at the Inaugural
ton Of President. Many Of the
great states of the Union have done
this and are doing it. and We're | in
the city of Washington on the 4th day
of March | think my heart would swell
somewhat with pride if | could see our
honorable Governor and his staff rid
ing along Pennsylvania avenue, show
ing that Maine is on the map. Why,
gentlemen, two thousand dollars is not
a great price to pay even for the adj
yertising of Maine. We send out over
all the nation and bid the people of
tiIt lsitiJl u tOiilt " -hdAii0 III AIl1
summer time. Put our Governor upon
white horse, gentlemen. on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. and if he rides we'll he
will do more towards advertising
Maine on that day than half of the
literature we can send out. think as
matter Of patriotism this bill should
have some support Possibly il might
do US good TO send once in fifty years
a Governor and his staff to gather in
spiration from the Inauguration of a
Democratic President
Mr.. O.G0NNELL of Milford MIR
Speaker. | think if ! was in the city of
Washington attending the Inaugural
ton ceremonies that my heart would
swell more with pride if | knew that
the Governor and council were back
in Maine and that the Children.s Hos
pital in Portland got that two thou
sand dollars. (Applause.)
The SPEAKER The question be-
fore the House is on the indefinite
postponement of this bill. Upon that
question the gentleman from Caribou.
Mr. Irving, demands the yeas and
nays. Is that demand participated in
by the necessary one-fifth of the
members of the House?
A sufficient number arose. and the
yeas and nays were ordered.
The SPEAKER: Ali those in favor
of the indefinite postponement of the
bill, when their names are called will
answer yes; those opposed will an
swer no. The clerk Will call the roll.
