Excerpt from Journal of the Fiftieth Senate of the State of New Jersey, Being the One Hundred and Eighteenth Session of the Legislature, 1894 It must be remembered that this Senate in its dominant element is especially representative of the proper thought of the people of the State, as expressed through the ballot-box. Pernicious legislation, actuated by motives, representative of an element whose vicious practises required legal protection, has brought upon the fair name of this State such disgrace as to cause our citizens to blush for their birth-right; under such conditions the people became aroused, and each constituency in its search for representatives upon whose integrity they could rely, have selected you as champions of their rights, and their judgment as to the standard of the selection will, I am sure, be well confirmed in the result secured. Undoubtedly it will appeal favorably to your conscientious judgment that all such legislation, and any laws which in any manner interfere with the rights of the people, or deprive them of such powers, as is fully contemplated under our constitution, should and will be removed from among our statutes at the earliest moment consistent with the urgency of the occasion.
