W hen the legislature w as In session
thtfre w ere tw o well know n senators

w hich they ear-
neatly deslreil the
governor to sign.
Oue of these men
w as called on by

»tinging, b itte r speech ag ain st the gov

The other se n a to r arose th e sam e

sounding term s, p a in tin g him ns the
gn iftest of all New Y ork's governors.
He sa t dow n feeling th a t the fa te of

A few days la te r th e first senator
went h esita tin g ly Into the executive

his bill.
B ut lie fe lt th a t he w as

w as very affable and said: “ Oh, ye«,
th a t hill. I have looked Into It, and I
find It ail rig h t. I will sign It Im m edi

departed, hardly believing th a t his cars
were In good w orking order.
Shortly a fte rw a rd In w alked th e sec

confidently about signing his m esa

“ W hat's th e use of having a gov
