GOVERNOR SIGNS
 MANY BILLS AT LAST MINUTE
AMONG THEM MEASURE PROVIDING FOR THE PURCHASE AND PRESER- NATION OF HIST RIG
 MANSION IN PRESCOTT.
Special to the Journal-Miner.

I morning, following the adjournment sine die of the legislature, Governor Campbell signed the bill for the pur- chase and maintenance as State relic of the old executive mansion in Prescott. The bill was passed in the senate with the closing moment of the session drawing near, and drew grateful speeches from Senators Get chell and Rutherford of Yavapai county.
 The appropriation and county clas- siflcation bills were whipped into shape as the midnight hour passed, and sent to the governor for sigma turc after a purely formal final vote. The objection of the Hunt element prevented consideration under sus- pension of rules, of several other much wanted measures, including the Cochise county court division bill, the executive budget bill and others. It was the determination of the Hunt worshippcrs to prevent Governor Campbell from having the naming of new Superior judge for Cochise county, and their opposition stalled of consideration of this measure.
