I3RIDGMAN 3EO. H. ELLIS, PRINTER, 14 1 FRANKLIN STREET, BOSTON 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.
