by Joseph O. Butler, of Teungstown,

at the -base-of tha monument ,
Amhssssdor Page, In his Speech,
said that the Pilgrims were only col
onlsts who went In search of Ood In
stead of Oold. He continued;
"They had not been kindly enough
treated la England, to make life to!
erable to them, hut atlll they wished
to be English subjects. Hlood, Instl -

"Freedom to worship led straight
ts the republican form of government
and tha democratic structure of the
society on the Mayflower carried the
seeds of all republican Institutions,
Including even the, seeds of recurring
Intolerances. The American of today
Is as strong a believer In hte great

Pear Sir: I have totir letter of
thia data refuslhr to comulr with ri.
jnsnd thia day served upon you that
you surrender to me, your successor.
In exercising the functions of the of
fice of governor, tha governor's nrlw
seel, the executive, chamber and the
books snd papers appertaining to
such office ot governor. At tha end
ol your letter thua refusing, you sug
gest that steps be taken to secure a
decision by some court, as to which
one of us Is entitled to exercise ths
duties of offlcs. s
I know of no war hv which I
could msks, and no conditions jus
tify me In making any such stipula
te n. Ths constitution was desicned
to, and 1 am advised and believe it
dues, specifically and completely eover
the Juncture now exiattng and Is mj,.

"It is beyond my power to batrer
away any of the functions attaching

by your impeachment. Any attempt
on my part to do ao, or to atlptiUua
a method by which It might be done, -wouM
properly place me In the po

Tba entire matter ia in the highest
court of the State, the court of im

court could make, . no Judgment that
It could render, would have the alight-

No .member of the court ot appeals-
certainly no member of the lower

Interfere with tho purisdiction of such

..Tbe decision of the court of im

treated. Any attempt to Interfere
with tha Jurisdiction of proceedings
of such court of Impeachment by any

aa futile as would any attempt of a
justice of the peace to enjoin the
chief Justice of the court of appeals
from exercising his functions as such
