utter obscurlty as committeeman was made
known to himself and his relows; and so far during
che entire session he has been dosing himself with
gloomy thoughts about "what might have been,n

democratic color. In his own mind the day
or reckoning must come after the adjournment,
when arguments that can be trammelled by par

DRUG CLERK BILL

originally introduced but mere skeleton OF the
Gre which has met with such prompt recognition ut
the hand Of the houses and the Executive 1t was
discovered after the original bill had reached the
Governor that very serious mistake had been made
IN tile drawing up OF the act, which would in all
probability have defeated the purposes for
which It's passage was so anxiously de-
aired, and 80 by resolution the Governor
was requested to return it Tor correction The op-
P0rtuntty thus Afforded TO make the bill all the
