HALF TONES FROM HUB ENGRAVING CO. PREFACE.

"T^HE ••Souvenir of Massachusetts Legislators" is evidently one of those

^ things that has come to stay. It has been so highly indorsed by the members, who are the best judges, that further indorsement is unnecessary.

It would be as well to think of indorsing the old family Bible. This record of the lives of the men who make, and also unmake, the laws of our State, with the perfect representation of their personal appearance, makes a souvenir that is most satisfactory to those most vitally interested. The aim of the editor will be to make each record as complete and reliable as possible. He would express

his appreciation of the cordial co-operation he has received in his work from the members themselves, by which he is enabled to present to them and to the public a gallery from which there is not a portrait missing. Every legislator serving the State, whether on Beacon Hill or in the halls of Congress, is here

represented. The executive department is also complete: while the military

familv of the (^iovernor lacks but a few. who would doubtless face a cannon, even though thev would not the camera. The Legislature of 1894 was called

upon to consider the gravest questions that have ever arisen in times of peace.

Not onlv did it have to pass upon the most stupendous tinancial subjects, but

also to judge of proposed systems to revolutionize our methods of transporta-

tion. A new phase of the temperance problem was also considered by it. As

a natural result, it received criticism equal to the magnitude of the interests

involved. Opposing interests condemned it. But the verdict of the people will

undoubtedlv be that the Legislature of 1894 did what it could in the cause of

good government and the settling aright of the great questions that came before

it. Long and patiently were these questions considered. Both sides vv'ere given

ample hearing : and the final verdict was reached intelligently and honestly by

men who appreciated the importance attaching to their decision, and that it was " not a •• snap judgment that could be set aside the next day as easily as the

weather-vane turns in the wind. It was as hone.st as its critics, — more intelligent

than they, for it fully heard both sides: and its verdicts will be as generally

approved bv the people, whose servants they were and whose interests they

sought to advance. A. M. BRIDGMAN, Editor. (3) i

In 1862 his father died, and Frederic was the only son of the seven children that survived him. He was then obliged to leave college, and taught school, worked in an iron foundry, and studied law. In October, 1863, he attempted to enlist, but could not pass the medical examination. In spite of this, he went to New Berne, N.C., hoping to get a commission in a colored regiment. He was assigned to the commissary department, and when the place was invested by the relDcls, in 1864. was put in charge of the stores.

SOME OF THE GOVERNOR'S STAFF.

[For the first time an effort has been made to represent the staff of His E.x- cellency in this Souvenir.

NOTES OF THE SESSION.

There was an unusual number of deaths in the membership of the House of

1894. First. Benjamin J. Sullivan, who had also been a member of the House in 1892-93, died in December. Then, January 21. Alfred A. Woodbury, of Charl- ton, died. Messrs. Joslin, Bacon. Delvey, Bridges, and Tuite were appointed a committee to attend the funeral and prepare appropriate resolutions. On Febru- ary I, Robert C. Brown, of Taunton, who was also a member of the House in 1893, died. Messrs. Alden, Malone. Kneil, James Stuart Murphy. C. G. Ban- croft, and James E. Hayes were appointed a committee to represent the House at 194 A SOUVENIR OF his funeral. John L. Murph\-. of Boston, died February 14; and this committee was appointed to attend the funeral and prepare resolutions : Messrs. Rosnosky,

McCarthy. O'Brien, Richard J. Hayes. William J. Donovan, Quinn, and Graham. On March 8, Noah Hammond, of Mattapoisett, died; and Messrs. Eddy. Alden, Rugg. Gillingham, Soule, Tompkins, and Ross were appointed to attend the funeral. Then on Wednesday, May 2, Mr. Tompkins expired as he stepped from the elevator to attend the afternoon session. Messrs. Rugg, Eddy, Ross, Leach, O. Foss, Gillingham, and Sturtevant were appointed a Qommittee to attend the funeral and prepare suitable resolutions. On June 24. Mr. Smalley, of Nan- tucket, who had been ill nearly from the first of the session, died ; and Messrs. Shute, Dennis, Hoar, White, and O. Foss were appointed to attend his funeral and draft appropriate resolutions. Besides these deaths, Mr. Burges was de- tained from his place for a great part of the session by serious illness : while about the first of June Mr. Ferguson was thrown from his carriage, and had his left arm broken in the elbow.

The House began forenoon sessions on Wednesday. April 4.

A remarkable yea and nay was that on rejecting the bill to establish boards of police for cities, — 141 to 1, the solitary nay being that of Mr. Russell.

This joint committee was appointed to represent the General Court on the occasion of the dedication of the statue of Col. Robert G. .Shaw on Boston Common: Senators Sawyer, Coughlin, and Monk and Representatives Teamoh, Lovett, Duddy, Giddings, Knox, Kinnaly, C. L. Hammond, Bridges, and Adams.

An unusual pair was one in the House, — Bliss with Joy.

The first filibustering in the House was on Tuesday, April 17, when the Democrats successfully resisted the attempt of the Republicans to put on its im- mediate passage the bill for a board of police for Fall River. By unanimous agreement finally the bill was assigned for the next afternoon.

On January 23, the death of ex-Gov. William Gaston was announced in the House. Mr. Mellen, of Worcester, offered appropriate resolutions, which were adopted after remarks by Messrs. Mellen. Wellman, Richard Sullivan, and Myers.

Admiral Hopkins of the British war-ship •• Blake " made an official call on Gov. Greenhalge, May 23, at 3.30 p.m. The next day the governor and members of his staff returned the call. The admiral also entertained the governor and other State officials at a banquet on the •• Blake," and the governor returned the compliment by a banciuet at the Parker House.

The House calendar on April 30 and May i was probably the largest ever seen.' comprising 35 pages. It was also an unusual, if not unprecedented, fact that, after the House fairly got the business into the calendar, it was never wholly finished any day before adjournment until almost the extreme end of the session.

A memorable resolve was that to determine and mark the spot of the site of the first town meeting held in America and of the first free school supported by general taxation, both of which are supposed to have been in the Dorchester district of Boston.

A notable trip by a committee was that of the military committee, with the commission appointed by the governor, to ascertain and mark the positions occupied by Massachusetts troops in the battle of Antietam. in order that such positions might be suitably marked with tablets or monuments. The committee recommended that all marks should be of uniform design and expense.

Both branches adopted resolutions, introduced in the Senate by Senator Blanchard, expressing the profound sorrow of the State at the death of '• Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian hero and patriot, who, while the guest of the State in 1852, enlisted the admiration of our people for his devotion to the struggle of MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATORS, 1894. I95

Hungary for independence." He was then given a reception in the Senate chamber, Hon. Henry Wilson being president of that body, while Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks was speaker of the House. This was in April.

On Tuesday, April 10. the Republicans made a party organization by choice of Mr. E. S. Bradford, of Springfield, as chairman and Mr. J. A. Bailey, Jr., of Arlington, as secretary. This caucus committee was appointed, the chairman and secretary being members fx officio: iMessrs. Darling, Galloupe, W. H. I.

Hayes, C. G. Bancroft, and Wellman. Messrs. McCarthy, Dennis. Russell, J. B. Newhall. F. C. Wood. Simpson, and J. S. r^Iurphy were appointed a committee to arrange for a dinner of the Repulilican members of the Legislature and invited guests. Subsequently, as arranged by this committee, the Republican members had a banquet at the Parker House, May i. President Putler presided, with Gov. Greenhalge at his right and Lieut. -Gov. Wolcott at his left, while Chairman Winslow and Secretary Kent of the Republican State Committee were also present. Senators Hoar and Lodge sent letters of regret. Speeches were made by Messrs. Greenhalge, Wolcott, Winslow, Butler, Speaker Meyer of the House. Sen- ators Kittredge, Lawrence, and Salisburv. and Representatives Wellman, Mvers, W. H. I. Hayes, and McCarthy.

Early in the session the Democrats made choice of Mr. James E. Hayes, of Boston, as caucus chairman and Mr. W. A. Lenihan as cauctis secretary. The position of chairman is that of leader of the party on the floor of the House and whenever the party wishes to act as a unit. The position is the most important of all from a political standpoint. In selecting Mr. Hayes to fill this place, his party acted wisely. His experience of a year on the floor, his familiarity with methods of parliamentary practice, and the respect in which he was held by his political opponents as well as by his fellow-Democrats, combined to qualify him admirably for the position. His lead on party questions gained for his party all the advantages possible, and the rights of the minority were fully secured.

The debate on bill of the Boston Elevated Railroad Company was probably of unequalled length, as it consumed the greater part of eleven days in the Senate and half as much in the House.

On the 28th of June, both branches were visited by Gov. Hogg, of Texas, who was accompanied by representative business and professional gentlemen from that State. Gov. Hogg made a brief address to each branch, and was presented to the members of the Senate by the president.

On June 20. the House had its shortest calendar up to that date, but had so many reconsiderations and similar business before it that it did not reach its calendar all day.

Mr. Morrill, of Waltham, was appointed monitor of the sixth division vice Mr. Brown, of Taunton, deceased.

The officers of the Senate Association for 1S94 were elected as follows : Presi- dent, William M. Butler, of New Bedford : Secretary. Henry S. Milton, of Wal- tham ; Executive Committee, William M. Butler, Henry S. Milton. John F. Fitzgerald, of Boston, Edwin F. Lyford, of Springfield, and Lewis A. Austin, of Taunton.

It is commonly supposed that the Senate is made up of older men than the House. But it appears that the average age of the senators is 45 years, and of the representatives 44 years. The average weight of the senators is 1 74 pounds, and of the representatives i 70. The Senate weighed a total of 6.960 pounds as against for that against 7,021 of 1893 ; and its total of years was 1.805 as 1.770 for The total of the against for 1893. age House was 10,587 years 10.840 1893 ; and its total weight w'as 40,730 pounds against 40,278 for 1893. The president and the left half of the Senate averaged 44^ years and 172:! pounds against 45^^ 196 A SOUVENIR OF

first the House, alphabeti- years and 175I pounds for the other half. The half of cally, averaged 44^ years and 168^ pounds against 43I years and 171 pounds for the last half. Of the forty senators, 32 were married, and only 25 smoked. Of the 240 representatives, 180 were married, and 104 did not smoke. The smokers were just as many as in the House of 1893; but five more members were married then. The special feature of the " mock session " was the capital poem by Repre- sentative Grover, touching upon incidents of the session and the peculiarities of members.

Probably the most amendments ever seen offered to one bill were proposed in the Senate to the '' Meigs" elevated railroad bill.

Gov. Greenhalge signed 546 acts, 1 1 1 resolves, allowed 4 acts to become law without his signature, and vetoed 4 bills.

Prorogation was reached at 7.15 p.m. Monday, July 2.

Capt. Meigs was given the quill with which the " Meigs " bill was signed, and Senator Sawyer received that with which Gov. Greenhalge put his name to the " Boynton Bicycle " bill.

The House presented Speaker Meyer with a token of its esteem in the shape of two silver jardinieres and a silver vase, besides very expressive resolutions. The latter were presented by Mr. Dowd, and supported by Messrs. Wellman, St. John, Porter of Attleboro, Abbott. Weston, Myers, Hayes of Lowell, and Irwin. The more substantial offering was made by Mr. Farley of Lowell, in behalf of his fellow-members. Resolutions to Clerk McLaughlin were accompanied by a Morris chair as an expression of good will. In the Senate a resolution of thanks to President Butler was offered by Senator Kittredge, and supported by Senator Buckley. A magnificent hall clock was a timely and substantial token of the esteem of tlie members for their youthful president. An elegant Afghanistan rug was presented to Clerk Coolidge, and a handsome arm-chair to Door-keeper Remington. Senators Leary, Durant, and Blanchard spoke to the resolutions to the clerk. President Butler stated in his response that the amount of business before the Legislature of 1894 was 28 per cent, more than in 1893.

The Legislature of 1894 was called upon to face a novel and remarkable problem. After several meetings on Boston Common, generally held on Tues- day, a large number of the unemployed of Boston were finally led to the State House, on the afternoon of February 20, by Morrison I. Swift. They were addressed from the capitol steps by Gov. Greenhalge. who had previously promised to do so. Then a petition was sent in to the House, which was presented by Mr. Mellen, asking for legislation in their behalf. This was accompanied by various resolutions, etc., which can be found in the House Journal of that date. The petition was received in both branches, and the following special committee appointed on it: Senators Lyford, Cronan. and Gray; and Representatives Wellman, Mellen, Jones, Irwin, Phelps, Ewing. and Atwood. The latter was chosen secretary. Several hearings were given, the petitioners were given ample time to state their case as fully as they desired, and then the committee reported for a commission ,to examine the subject and report to the next Legislature, and for an appropriation to enable more extensive work on the Metropolitan Park system so as to furnish more work for the unemployed. Both these measures were passed. The Republicans went on record in both branches at various times, by a solid party vote against the solid Democratic vote, in favor of resolutions sustaining the principle of a protective tariff, especially as regards cotton manufactures and tobacco. !

MASSACHUSETTS LEGISLATORS, 1894. 197

Messrs. Roe, of Worcester, and Mahan, of Natick, made the interesting dis- covery during the session that they were both confined in the rebel military prison of Danville, Va., for six months at the same time.

On Thursday, May 10, Hon. Frederick Douglass, of Washington, was present a few moments in each branch. He was presented to the members during a brief recess, and then addressed a few words to them, expressing, among other sentiments, his appreciation of the treatment he was then receiving, compared with what he had once experienced in Boston.

On April 30, the bill for a new State House was rejected by a vote of 127 to 53 and 20 pairs. Col. Fred Grant, son of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, ex-president of the United States, was present in each branch, and was presented to the members, after which he briefly addressed them, alluding to the fact that it was his father's birthday.

THE FOUNDING OF "PATRIOTS' DAY."'

The Legislature of 1894 will be remembered for its abolition of "Fast Dav." and its founding of " Patriots' Day."' The proclamation of Gov. Green- halge in relation to the latter is as follows : —

Commomvealth of Massachusetts.

By His Excellency, Frederic T. Greenhalge, Governor : A PROCLAMATION.

By an Act of the Legislature, duly approved, the NINETEEiSTTH DAY OF APRIL has been made a LEGAL HOLIDAY.

This is a day rich with historical and significant events which are precious in the eyes of patriots. It may well be called Patriots' Day. On this day in 1775, at Lexing- ton and Concord, was begun the great War of the Revolution; on this day in 17S3, just eight years afterward, the cessation of the war and the triumph of independence was formally proclaimed; and on this day in 1S61 the first blood was shed in the war for the Union. Thus the day is grand with the memories of the mighty struggles which in one instance brought Liberty and in the other Union to the country. It is fitting, therefore, that the day should be celebrated as the anniversary of the birth of Liberty and Union. Let the day be dedicated, then, to solemn, religious, and patriotic services, which may adequately express our deep sense of the trials and tribulations of the patriots of the earlier and of the latter days, and especially our gratitude to Almighty God, who crowned the heroic struggles of the founders and preservers of our country with victory and peace. Given at the Executive Chamber, in Boston, this eleventh day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighteenth. Frederic T. Greenhalge. By His Excellency the Governor, William M. Olin, Secretary of the Commoiiioealth.
