ro?. rrz □The Illinois Supreme Court hrs begun the heading of the appeal in the cases of tne anarchists of Chicago. .-#*■ # , Senator Cullom thinks that if a railroa*. wants to pay for advertising by issuing free passes to newspapers that there is nothing in the inter-state bill that prevents it. The republican chairman of the committee on electi ns in the House declared, before the election of U. 8. Senator, that the seats of nineteen a eim cratic members were in contest befo e that committee. Siime the election of Judge Turpie has any one heard of these contests b dug pressed? In the momentary excitement and chagrin of Republican members of the joint convention over the election of Judge Turpie, protests were made against the votes of certain Democratic members whose seats were said to be under contest. After the election, however, those members held peaceable possession of their > laces to the close of the term.

IV hen A. Green Smith voted for Judge Turpie his right todos,, was disputed on the ground that he was acting Lieutenant-Gover. nor. in drawing pay, however, the Republican Attorney-General decides that he is only entitled to the pay of a Seuator. The republican press now declare that Michener has validified Smith's senatorial vote, and that he knows no more law than a mule. The republican “nerve-food,” prepared by the Indianapolis Journal, and dished out to famishing Republicans here by our neighbor of the “Republican,” is the thinnest of thin gruel. The Journal all through the recent legislative muddle prov?d itself a mighty weak strenthening plaster. Every scheme|of political robbery phinmdby it proved a disastrous faliure. The gangs to which it committed its projects tied every time at the moment of detection. *"* *» • ■ l » Rensselaer epublican: “ * * By-th -way this praotice of getting a political meeting announced a as “temperance meeting” is a contemptible trick, and ought to be sat down on, hard ” According to the above, then, our friend Berry Paris, and the W. C. T. U., of Redsselaer, must be a set of “contemptible tricksters.” “By-the-way” we were not present at the temperance meeting, but judging from the remarks of our neighbor we conclude the Rev: speaker muss have rubbed the republican, party for its hypocrisy and cowardice on the sul ject,—in fact, in the language of ‘Billy’ Cumback, he mus. have told the “Lord’s truth the whole bui iness.” We now turn our neighbor over to the Prohibo-Republico orgi . \ ;

THE RECJORD. |

p*esented to Bruce Carr, the Republican Auditor of State, and warrants drawn by him upon them, he recognized Smith’s authorit ; and asthe Treasurer of paid sncii warrants he recognized Smith’s authority. The speaker of the louse, after the 25th day of February, still continu*d the consideration of senate bills upon his files certified to be passed by the r-ignature of Smith as President of the senate, and the spe ker of the house, together with the insurrectionary majority and revolutionary mob which had pretended to usurp the functions of legislation, if they recognized nothing else, they recognized Smith’s authority as President of the senate in c msidermg the bills which had been transmitted to them verified by his signature. One of the measures passed by both houses, coming into the hands of the speaker after the 25th of February, was that appropriating a sum of money

8200,000 —for the erection of a soldiers’ monument by the state of Indiana. To this bill speaker Sayre attached his signature, and afterward pr cured the spurious pretender to the office of Lieuten-ant-Governor to attach his signature thereto, and then transmitted the bill to the Governor his actio*. Tin Go ernor, declining to recognize the signature of the pretended Lieutenant-Governor, directed its erasure and asked that the bill be igned by Smith as President of the senate, which being done the Governor promptly approved the same and filed it in "the office of the Secretary of State, and seut the following message to the House of Representatives:

Executive Department, ) Indianapolis, March 3, 1887. \ The Honorable, the Speaker of the Ht »use of Representatives: Senate bill No. 3, entitled “an act to provide for the erection of a Bta :e Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument, or M morial Hall combined, according to .the discretion of the Trustees in this act provided for, and declaring an emergency,” and signed “Warren G. Sayre, Speaker of the House of Representatives;” “R. S. Robertson, Lieutenant Governor,” was presented to me by the House of Representatives for my approval. The bill does not conform to Hie requirements of section 25, article 4, of the (’onstitution, which provides that “all bills and joint resolutions passed shall be signed by the presitling officers o l ' the respective Houses,” and its presenta ion in that form is also in violation of the joint rules adopted by both houses of th present General Assembly, which reads as follows: Rule 2. After a bill or joint resolution shall have passed both houses it shall be duly enrolled on paper, and the Clerk of the house where it originated shall indorse upon the back thereon the h use in which it originated, untDr "Inch he shall place his signature. Rule 4. Every bill or joint resolution reported to have been duly enrolled shall be signed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall send the same to the Senate, then b, tho President of the Senate, after which it shall be presented by the ‘oint Committee of Enrolled Biils to the Governor for his approbation and signature; and the said commit ee shall report to their respective houses the day of presentation, which report shall be entered upon the journals of each house.

Rule 5. Alibi Is and joint resolutions shall be signed by the Sneaker of the House of Representatives and the Fresident of the Senate, in their Houses respectively, when in session, which shall be carefully noted on the journals of each house. The bill was not indorsed or signed by the Secretary of the senate in which the bill originated, was never sent -o the senate, as required by the joint rules, for the signature of the presiding officer thereof, and was not signed by the presiding officer of the senate as required by the Constitution, and did not pur iort to be signed by the presiding officer of th. senate. The constitutional provision which provides that all bills and joint (resolutions parsed shall be signed by the presiding officers of the respective houses does not mean some person who is claiming to be legally entitled to preside, and who is not presiding, but in my judgment means the officer or per-

son who is actir lly presiding and I discharging the duties of the po- ] sitioD. There might be two membr's of the house each claiming to have been legally elected Speaker, and in that case the Executive would undoubtedly have to recognize the signature of the member who was actually presiding, and whom the house recognized as its 7 residing officer.

It is not the pro ince of the Executive to decide who is entitled to preside in either house. The Executive possesses no such power or authority. When the Executive is notified by each house of th Get eral Assembly that it is du>y organized, ready to receive communications and transact business, the Executive must recognize the organization so reported, and has no right to recognize another. The organization reported to me by a committee from each house on the 6th day of January, 1887, has remained unchanged up to the present time, and has been recognized by each house in the passage tliro’ each house of eighteen bills, which were signed by the present presiding officers of each house and approved by me, among which are the bills api reprinting $125,000 for paying the mileage and per diem of the members and other expenses of tiie present General Assembly; for thi reorganization and maintenance of the and Bailors’ Orphans’ Home; for the payment of certain employes every two weeks, and authorizing certain cities to issue bonds.

The present organization of the senate has been recognized by the passage by the house during each day’s session of the present week of a number of seuate bills and ot er measures. The members of each house have, from the organization of the General Assembly, drawn their mile-.ge and per diem upon eertificat s signed by the present presiding officer of their respective houses. If I had approved the bill in die form iu which it was presented to me i y the h use, there certainly **ovld have been no question as to its invalidity. No court could possibly hold that it was signed by the presi ing officer of each house, whee the entire re ord of the Senate shows that Alonzo G. Smith, and no one else, is the pres ding officer of the senate. I can not sanction a proceeding which would inevitably prevent the bill from becoming a law. and bolievine flint Ihe soldiers and sailors of Indiana and the people generally desire the legal passage of the bill for Mm erection of a soldiers’ and sailors’ monument, I have caused the bill +o be transmitted to the senate, and it has been returned to me for approval signed by the presiding officer and secretary of the senate. I have approved the bill and caused the same to be deposited in tne office of the Secretary of State. (Signed) Isaac B. Gray, Governor.

It being thus shown that three Judges of the courts, that the Governor, the Auditor of Shim, the Ti easurer of State, Mr. Speaker S yre and every member of the House of Representatives had recognized Mr. Smidi as President of the Senate, both before and after the 25th day of February, it remains for the Republican plotters in this conspiracy to give some reason why they organized and led at the front, on the 24th day of February, an attrocious and utterly lawless attack upon the Government of the state, an attempt by force to revolutionize the Government, and to prevent by violence one of th ' branches of the lawmaking power from proceeding in the peaceable, quiet, orderly discharge of its duties as such. And it would be well enough to recollect, also, that this attack upon the senate was made in the nterest of a claimant who had never, at any time, resorted to the courts to as sert his rights or sanction his authori y; one who had constantly refused and declined to submit the question of his claims to the judgment of the courts, and had taken refuge in the fact merely that he was a resident of Allen couniy and that the courts of the capital of the State could n t hold him to answer for his attempted acts of arbitrary usurpation. Notwithstanding all this, after the passage of the resolution of obstruction by the insurgent faction, which constit itedthe majority of the House, the Democrats of ihe House and Senate made every effort and left nothing undone to adjust n some

peaceable manner, upon th Q merits the question at iesue between the two parties. i Concluded res! wert.]
