4 Puzzle.
OF all conundrum5 political ones are the
most difficult. AS sample of their abstruse-
ness we had to invite the old gentleman who
propounded the following out into the street
to see man 'lf," said he, taking off his
spectacles and carefully wiping them. ''if cleo
tions don't elect, does adjustment ADJUST" He
naturally didn't get an answer. perhaps he
knew he couldn't but the query called up
some nominations, and after he had gone we
thought that more time was required. If ad-
justment adjusts, then no more uuelsiness
need be felt, but if it should happen not to-

The st. Louis Hotel Guests.
Take it all in all, Pinch has not produced
any very marked effect upon the Pitt Indians,
SO far as one could Judge from outward ap-
pearances. The State House crowd seem
perfectly satisfied with the way things are go
ing, and there can be no reason why they
shouldn't, and all the boy appear perfectly
happy in the prospect of better times, per
diem and mileage. They appreciate the fact
that the country is ,afe so far as tho future is
concerned, and SO in their happy dreams
they enjoy the post pranda cocktail W itha
degree Of equanimity positively charming.
OF course they receive now and then re-
bluffs from their old co-workers. who. like
Pinch, believe the compromise is delusion
and snare, but they can atf1rd to stand all
that. The crowd about the st. Louis Hotel
cannot be said to be as large as it was. bu: il
is much more influential: that is. speaking
from a kel!oggian STANDPOINT. The old
veterans and Founders have become some

The Award.
If the statements by certain faithful who
are supposed to know, as made in confidence
to certain other faithful is correct, the award
of the adjusters will not meet the expectations
of the confiding Conservatives. In fact, q
number Of those gentlemen will find that
they have been left, and that the entire bust
ness has been "rope in
The statement is to the effect that the |
House will stand Conservatives 80, Repub- |
iicans 81, and that the Senate will stand as it |
was on the day of adjournment.
This arrangement will give the faithful |
majority Of ten on the much talked Of Joint |
ballot.
Called Toa ether.
Hon L. A. Wilt has officially notified the
members OF the Conservative Caucus Of the
cal for an extra session, aud requested their
presence in this city on the I2th Of next
month.
This action the part OF Mr.. Witt is in
accordance vita the resolution adopted on
the adjournment Of the Caucus.
1t is reported that there VIII be an informal
meeting of those members Of the Caucus in
the city on Monday evening
How II VIII be Done.
Now that the call for an ezra session OF the
Legislature has been made, and the fact Of
its assembling quite assured. the perplexing
question remains "What will be the nloius
operandi whereby au organization is TO be
reached? The common opinion is that those

providing Speaker in the place Of Hahn

which was accepted witho Mt medication, sets
forth distinctly that the Committee on Fec
items and Qualifications Shall first ati the
awards made by the arbitratnrS, before the |

1t will be seen that the award amounts to |
nothing if not ratified by the said committee,
aud in thus recognizing the authority OF the
Hahn committee there is virtually recogui- S

then be in order the adoption Of the follow a
