Governor Patterson, of Tennessee, Refuses to Sign Measure. Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 19.?Gover nor Patterson this afternoon filed with the clerk of the senate a message vetoing the State-wide prohibition bill, which last week was passed by both houses of the legislature. The Governor's action followed adjournment of the senate, after it had passed, on third reading by a vote of '20 to 13, the prohibiting the manufacture in Tennessee of intoxicating liquors. The veto message will be read to the senate to-morrow, morning, when it must be sustained or the bill passed over the executive protest. On original passage the vote was 20 to 13. Opponents, claim to-night that they can count on a change of three senators to their side, and that the fourth member on whose vote the fate of the measure depends, is wavering. In his veto measure, Governor Patterson charges that such legislation is against the Democratic platform, and the doctrine of self-government; that it sets aside the recorded will of the people; that- experience has taught that no arbitrary law was ever obeyed, and its enactment brings no settlement of the question; that it , destroys property, reduces State revenues, increases taxation, ; takes money from the people to send j it elsewhere, foments discord, im pairs the dignity of the commonwealth, fosters hypocrisy and invites evasion and deceit in the people.
