Congress at Philadelphia as law for the
common action of the colonies.
1t gave these resolutions very grave
significance that the Congress at Phila-
delphia unhesitatingly declared. upon
their receipt. that the whole continent
ought 10 support Massachusetts in her
resistance to the unconstitutional changes
in her government. and that any person
who should accept office within the prov

Moreover the Suffolk towns did not
stand alone. Their temper. it seemed,

his authority dwindle to a mere shadow
outside his military lines at Boston.
The members OF the assembly convened,
nevertheless. and, finding no governor to

The Governor Who Would Not Ride
on Horseback.
Written exIrg.,y for The Washington Herald
by DIR. L. J. EDWARDS.

Written expressly for The Washington Heraldl
by DIR. L. }. EDWARDS.
1t was the custom from the time the
colony of Connecticut became a State
for the governor-elect upon Inaugural
ton day to ride a gayly-caparisoned
horse, escorted by a mounted troop and
followed by the State militia, to the
Statehouse. after paradinG through the
principal StreetS-One year at Hartford
and an alternate year at New Haven,
for these two cities We're for many
years the capitals of the State.
When the late Charles Z. Ingersoll.
of New Haven. was being inaugurated
as governor, he told the committee on
arrangements that it might make such
display as deemed best and he would
cheerfully yield, but there was one
thing which lie wanted to have the
committee understand. and that was
that he would not ride on horseback.
The committee might convey him in an
open carriage, to which were attached
as many pairs of horses as it thought
worth while. and he would receive the
tributes of the people from his place
in the carriage, but he would not ride
horse back, for the simple reason that
he could not. He did not know how,
and he was sure that he would make a
Gov. Ingersoll's wish was, OF course,
respected and he set precedent which
from that time has been followed.
1t so happened that few weeks
after Gov. lnEerSolrS Inauguration
spent an afternoon with Judge Learned
Hebard, of Lebanon. Conn. Judge He
bard was the administrator upon the
estates of the distinguished Trumbull
family, one of whom was the original
Brother Jonathan" His home town of
Lebanon had been the birthplace of six
men who became governors, four of
Connecticut and two of other States
Samuel J. Tilden, governor of New
York. would also have been native
of Lebanon had his parents not moved
from that town to New York State
shortly before Tilden's birth.
l mentioned to Judge Hrbard the fact
that Gov. Ingersoll had refused to ride
on horseback and instead had occupied
a seat in an open carriage drawn by
four horses upon his inauguration day.
and added that the reason for this
change, as stated by Gov. Ingersoll,

With only WITNESSES for my guide,

And strolled beside the laughing streams.
