The Senate and the Governor.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

The insurrectionists in the senate who
sought to take the power of appointment
of certain state officials away from the
governor succeeded only in making them
selves ridiculous Without taking the
trouble to see whether their bill would
be favorably received in the house, and
seemingly without a thought as to wheth-
er a veto could be overridden, they forced
their measure through the upper branch
only to see it perish miserably when the
house had the opportunity to express Its
opinion.
The measure itself is not reflection on
Governor Clement Indeed, it is quite
the opposite, as brief examination shows.
The plot is something as follows: The
governor sent in some appointments early
and held some up This is nothing new
in the history of the state. 1t Is com
mon practice In some measure it may be
attributed to desire on the part of the
governor to hold some tricks in his hand
There is further and more substantial
reason for delaying certain appointments.
A governor may desire to have the legis-
lature have the benefit of an officials ex-
perience of which it would be deprived
if an early appointment We're made and
reasonable justification for governor not
making all his appointments at the very
start.
However, Governor Clement did send in
