Governor Hanly's Biennial Message Draws Indiana Legislature
The Weekly Sentinel reviews Governor Hanly's lengthy biennial message, praising its scope on state official conduct, public funds, and life insurance regulation. It notes omissions on temperance specifics, urges prudent appropriations, and calls the document one of the era's most important executive communications. Watson's mail subsidy plan for two routes to South America is discussed as moot, with ship subsidy effectively dead for the session.
