You say that one of my principal objections to the con- stitution is to the manner in which It is submitted. You are right. | am surprised that you should take issue with to ine decidedly inconsistent, to say the least, for you to advocate now that we restore to the governor this particular kind of power, which smeans that an ill-intentioned governor can deal in private and on the Peau de Cygne or Satin Lining Workmanship and finish at the price charged are —, On “Dalebloom” Suits start as low as $14.75 and range upward $18.75, wavten BR Tel $22.50, $24.75, $27.50, $29.75 and upwards.

You said in debate on the floor of the convention at that time: ABOLISHING THE MARKET DEPARTMENT. As to a Market department, on this subject | am not “guessing” FOR SEPARATE SUBMISSION IN 1894—AGAINST IT or “thinking” as to what the proposed Constitution does.
