BIOGRAPMICAL.

BRIEF SKETCHES OF THE LIl/ES OF THE MEN IVHO, IN STATE AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENT,

HELPED SHAPE LEGISLATION IN 1893,

THE GOVERNOR.

His Excellency William Eustis Russell, Democrat, of Cambridge. This is his third term. He is the third Democratic governor of Massachusetts, and, next to the Hon. George S. Boutwell, the youngest man who has ever occupied the cliair of the executive. He was born in Cambridge, Mass.. Jan. 6, 1857, his father being the Hon. Charles Theodore Russell, the distinguished jurist. He began his education in the public schools of his native city, and pursued his studies further at Harvard Uni- versitv, graduating thence in 1877, ^.nd at the Boston University Law School, whence he was graduated in 1879, '^^ ^'""^ head of his class, winning the Lawrence prize for the best essay, and delivering the class oration. Admitted to the Suffolk bar in 1880, he has since practised as a member of the firm in which his father and his brothers are partners. He took an early interest in public affairs, and became a member of the Cambridge Common Council in 1882, following that with two terms in the upper branch of the city government. In 1884 he was elected mayor by about one thousand over the Hon. James A. Fox, and in the two succeeding years he was given the compliment of an almost unanimous reelection. In 1887 his return to the office wa.s contested, but he was once more successful by about two thousand majority. Mr. Russell's administration as mayor was intelligent and impartial, and he did not allow his party affiliations and sympathies to control his action. An episode of his administration was the introduction of the policy of " no license," to which the city has ad- hered for si.x years; and Mr. Russell, although not a believer in the system, promised to enforce it impartially, and did so, to the general satisfaction of its advocates. Mr. Russell has been president of the Alumni Association of the Boston LTniversity Law School and of the Middlesex County Democratic Club. He occupied the chair at the convention of Democratic clubs at Baltimore in 1888. In the same year he was nominated for governor by the Democratic party, and the same honor was accorded him in i88g. In i8gi the degree of LL.D. was conferred upon him by Williams College.

up in that faith, he was first elected to office in 1887, when he was sent to the Legis- lature from his native town, and has been returned annually since, having served as speaker of the House every year except the first. This has taken him to some extent out of the active work of the floor, but his influence has always been felt in the interest of legislation designed to benefit the people. During the recent Legislatures he has been instrumental in securing to towns and cities the right to manufacture and sell gas and electricity, and also espoused the adoption of the principle in the charter of private water companies that they should be purchasable by the public at any time at a fair compensation for the money invested. His elections as speaker have always been with practical unanimity. Was nominated by the Republicans to fill the vacancy in the Seventh Congressional District caused by the election of Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge to the Senate, but was defeated bv the Democratic candidate bv about fortv pluralitv. The People's Party put a candidate in the field at this election, although it had none at the regular election, who polled over one thousand votes. .He is particularly a man of the people, having been from the beginning largely dependent on his own eftbrts, and rising in the face of opposition and difticulty which would have daunted a less courageous man. He is now but thirty-four years of age, and has had a remarkablv successful and noticeable career.

Was ordained and installed pastor of East Weymouth (Mass.) Congregational Church, April 3, 1867; dismissed May 14, 1871. to become acting pastor of Maverick Congregational Church, East Boston, which position he held Society, until Dec. i, 1872.

Elected chaplain the Election Sermon, in 1879, ^"fl '""'IS been reelected each year since; preached Jan. 7, 1880. Edward A. McLaughlin, clerk, was born in Bo.ston, Sept. 25, 1853. Was Baltimore, educated in the public schools, at Boston College, and at Loyola College, Md., where he took the degree of A.B. in 1871. He entered the law oiTfice of Hon. and in William (^.aston, and took tlie degree of LL.B. at I5oston University in 1878; the same year, on motion of Mr. Gaston, was admitted to the bar. In 1871-74 he was professor of languages at Loyola College, and held the same position in 1875-76 Irish at Seton Hall College, Orange, N.J.

178 A SOUVENIR OF

THE LEGISLATURE AND COMMITTEES.

The Pp:ksoxxel. Work, and Special Features of Each.

The two branches of the Legislature of 1893 are made up as follows: The Sen- ate consists of 30 Republicans and lo Democrats. The senior member is Hon. Robert Howard, of Fall River, whose first term of service was in 1886, and who has served continuouslv ever since. The oldest senator is Hon. Luther Dame, of Newbury, who was born March 3, 1826, and the youngest is Hon. John F. Fitzgerald, of Boston, who was born Feb. 11, 1863. Sixteen were members in 1892, and 5 were in the House of 1892. Only 7 have had no previous legislative experience. Of the House of 1893. there are 87 who served in the House of 1892, and 8 who weie in previous legislatures. There are 145 Republicans, y^ Democrats, one Democrat Independent, and one Republican Independent. The dean of the House, as in 1892, is Charles H. Nve, of Hyannis. The oldest member is Mr. Whitney, youngest, MciVforrow, of Boston, 21. There are lawyers, 75 ; and the William H. 30 25 farmers, 10 insurance agents, and 8 journalists. Owing to the radical change in the rules this year, it would be impossil^le to com- pare the amount of business received with that of other years simply by munber of items. But there was enough to keep the members quite as busy, take it all together, as thev have been of late years. Looking at the matters more closely by committees, we find some interesting facts about their work and the personnel of the committees themselves. We find a great difference in the age and weight of the committee men, as well as in the number of matters they were called upon to consider. And yet the committee that has much business one year may have but little the next, and T/'er iwrsa but cities, finance, labor, mercantile affairs, railroads, street railways, and water supply may always be sure to have prett}- weighty dockets. Each committee, under

the new mles, consists of 1 1 members ; and that number will be understood as applying to all the statistics of the committees in the following paragraphs. For many of the facts herein stated the editor is under obligation to the courtesy of the clerks of the committees.

It had 9 matters relating to rapid transit sent to it, and reported legislation far in advance of anything ever before brought from a committee towards solving this prol)lem. The committee visited Chicago and New Yoik in the course of its investigations. The committee on elec-

tions had only i ca.se, and this was settled by a recount of the votes. The commit- MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATORS, 1 893. 181

tee on count}' estimates had a dozen matters sent it for consideration, of the usual routine nature. The committee on pul)lic reservations had 12 matters to consider, inchiding the important ones relating to the Metropolitan park system, and concerning the Prov- ince lands at Provincetown. There were also the unusual number of 9 committees of conference appointed during the session, and in nearly every case they reported concessions acceptable to both branches. The committee on hbraries was done away with this year. The names of members on the committees sometimes show a peculiar fitness for the position. Tims on agriculture we have Hick-ox, Wood-ward, Bacon,

Granger, Barnes, Wootl-bury : drainage, a Potter and a Brooks; on education, Read and Carroll.

POLITICAL AND SOCIAL NOTES.

At the beginning of the session, the Republicans held a caucus and chose these

otificers : chairman. Air. Galloupe, of Beverly ; secretary, Mr. Garlield, of Brockton ; and Messrs Parker, of Boston, Rideout, of Cambridge, Roe, of Worcester, Nickerson, of Harwich, and Kneil, of Westfield, executive committee. Later in the session, this

Letters of regret were read from Hon. H. L. Dawes, Hon. W. W. Crapo, and Col. Samuel E. Winslow, chairman of the Republican State Committee.

At the last session of the House, while the " mock session" was in progress Mr. Parkhurst, of Clinton, read a poem embodying some of the principal features of the session, from which c]uotations of the opening and closing lines are made, as follows :

" A five months' session having passed, The ides ofJune have come — at last; ' By Styx,' love swears, — for gods can swear, you know, And when they do it thunders here below, — ' It's time this Great and General C^ourt " Should quit its cajiitoline fort.'

" The long-expected hour draws nigh ' ' When each shall say to each, Good-by ; But whether we meet again or not We'll have for all a kintlh' thought, Each richer far than when we came In that we've gathered many a name Whose memory shall recall, where'er we be, " The scenes of 1S93.

The two branches elected Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge as United States Senator, to succeed Hon. Henry L.Dawes, Tuesday. January 17, the vote being as follows: Senate,

Henry Cabot Lodge, 29; Patrick A. Collins, 10. House. Lodge. 161 ; Collins, 71. The Democrats, at the beginning of the session, chose Mr. McEvoy, of Lowell, as caucus chairman, and he subsequentlv appointed this caucus committee : Messrs. Mel- len, Charles, Moriarty, McLoughlin. ()"Neil, Rosnosky, Ashley, Rivers, Dodge, of

Sullivan, and Representatives McLoughlin. McEvoy, J. E. Hayes. O'Neil, and Richard Russell. Councilman Callaghan, of Boston. Letters of i egret were read from Gov. Hon. P. A. Collins, Hon. Josiah Ouincy. and Hon. James B. Carroll. President Pinkerton entertained the Senate at Young's, Monday evening, May 8.

MINOR NOTES OF THE SESSION.

It is an interesting fact that Senators Baker, of Suffolk, and Butler, of Bristol, and Representatives Kneil, of Westfield, Joy, of Winchester, and Worthen, of Wey- moutii. were all classmates at the Boston University Law School in 1882-83. " The Ouinn family should change its name, to the " Can family. Two brothers, are of this John Ouinii. Jr.. of Boston, and Timothy F. Ouinn, of Sharon, members House,' and an elder brother, Philip H. Ouinn. of Boston, served in the House in 1886-8.

Rarelv, if ever, has there been a session in which there were so many deaths of members as in the one just closed. It is not often, indeed, that there is a single death to record; but in the past session, three members of the House died within three clays. They were as follows: Asa Smith, of Chilmark, Republican, born Jan. 29, 1824, died FelV 6. He was a member of the committees on county estimates and of State House. This was his first term. Henry J. Jennings, Republican, Worcester, who was born Nov. 29, 1829, died Feb. 8, and was serving his .second term. He was on the committee on street railways. Samuel Crooks, of Hopkinton, Republican, who was seventy-one years old. He died Feb. 7. He was on the committees on elections and public service. One of the special features of the session was the investigation of certain gas companies of Boston, by a special committee consisting of Messrs. Lyford. Meyer. Galloupe. Moriarty, Ro.snosky, Joy, and Malone, to which were added the House members of the committee on manufactures, as follows: Messrs. Ackley, O'Neil, Hall, Kohlrausch, Whitney, McLoughlin, Cage, and Hammond. The report of committee finally resulted in the passage of the famous " Bay State Gas Company" bill. The two branches met in joint convention, January 26, to take action relative to the death of " General Benjamin Franklin Butler, formerly governor of this Common- wealth."' Senator Lawton. of Lowell, oftered appropriate resolutions, which were supported by him and Senators Fitzgerald and Ikickley, and Representatives Mellen, adopted by a McEvoy, Charles, Roe. P. J. Farlev. and John Brown, and unanimously rising vote. Some very peculiar aljjhabetical freaks appear in the preparation of the names ot nominees. For example, in Taunton the three representatives elected led the alpha- twelve the bet : A-lden, B-rown, C-rane. In the Tenth Essex District, out of candidates first three, al])habetically, were Prohibitionists, A, B, D, and the last three, who were elected also. Republicans: R-ichardson, S-mith. T-ucker. In the Fifth Norfolk, the first three nominees, ali)habetically. hajipened to hail from Ouincy. and the other six all came from Weymouth.

'' It so happened tliat on the day tlie House enacted the " wide tire bill. Mr. Samuel Dean, of Taunlon. who was the originator of the measure twent\-eight years ago, was in the chair beside the speaker. Mr. Dean is one of the three survivors ot the House of thirty-eight years ago.

Probably no bill ever had so manv amendments ofiered to it as did the rapid- transit bill, over sixty being offered in llu' House alone. The fact that but very tew were adoi)ted shows how carefully it had i)een drawn. During the closing hours of the session, the Senate presented President Pinkerton chair. with a mantel clock and a i)air of vases ; and Clerk Coolidge with an easy Speaker Barrett was jjresented by the House with a gold watch, while Clerk McLaugh- lin received a case of silverware from the appreciative members. MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATORS, 1 893. 1 83

The "mock session" was remarkalile for two thiiiijs : The un]iarallelefl resources of wit and words displayed by Representative Hayes, of Lowell, wlio occupied the chair for not less than four hours, showing an ability to interest and amuse, and yet restrain, the House, never before seen " by the oldest inhabitant."

The committee on rapid transit had a House chairman that was so highly appre- ciated bv his fellow-members from the House, that they presented him, through Mr. T. F. (2uinn, of Sharon, with a fine Southdown l)iick from the blue-grass regions of Kentucky, for him to put on his Maine farm.

Mr. White, of ISrookline. was the first Democrat to represent that town since 1856.

The monitors of the House were as follows : ist division, Messrs. Bliss and Mellen ; 2d, Messrs. McEvoy and Rockwell; 3d, Messrs. Rosnosky and Hoyt; 4th, Messrs. Rivers and Richmond; 5th, Messrs. Galloupe and F. C. Wood; 6th, Messrs. Charles and Parkhurst. A peculiar incident of the session was the petition of Albert N. Hoxie " for an investigation of the methods employed to procure the election of Hon. A. C. Ratshesky." The petition went to the committee on rules, which, after giving the petitioner all the opportunity he desired to present his evidence, which he failed to do, finally unanimously gave him leave to withdraw. The yeas and nays were called in the Senate 129 times during the session, and 49 times in the House. The Senate weighed a total of 7,021 pounds, and its aggregate age was 1,770 years. The right-hand half, as seated, averaged 41 years and 179 pounds, as against 47.5 years and 172 pounds for the left half. The total age of the House was 10,840 years, and its total weight 31 ,278 pounds. The first half alphabetically, averaged 45.08 years and 174 pounds, as against 45.16 years and 170.10 pounds for the last half.

The Senate was 1,770 years old and weighed 7,021 pounds, as against 1,935 years and 6,623 pounds for the Senate of 1892. The House was 10,840 years old and weighed 31,278 pounds, as against 11,509 vears and 40,144 pounds for tiie House of 1892. Of the Senate, 30 of the 40 were married and 28 smoked; ot the House, 185 of the 240 were married and only 136 smoked.

The death of Ex-President Hayes was noticed by the adoption of appropriate resolutions in the Senate and by similar ones in the House, sujjported by Messrs. John Ouinn, Jr., Roe, Moriartv. and Parker.

The death of Hon. James ("i. Blaine was appropriatel}' noticed in the Senate, Feb- ruary 2. I)y the adoption of resolutions reported by a special committee.
