There wss big scare in the Republican
ranks on Thursday morning, and the State
House was
SURROUNDED BY METROPOLITANS.
At each corner of the square one or two
men were posted, and each block was patrolled
by one or two men, and o number of officers in
citizens clothes were in and around the State
House building.
The scare was the result of runner that
the White League would take possession OF
the building.
No one could say why the White League
would do it, or what they wanted with the
State House.
The rumor started Thursday night, and grew
out of ths fact that a company of men were seen
on Camp and st. Charles streets, with mus
kets, drilling.
The company, however, belonged to the
army of cur good King Rex, and were only
taking their usual exercise.
In about fifteen minutes after the appear
apce of the evening BULLETIN containing the
above, the metropolitans in uniform and the
metro politans in citizens clothes were ordered
to report in their several precincts.
The various Conservative and Democratic
clubs of the city have addressed

Of the following import to the Democratic and
Conservative State Central Committee:

pointed by large majority Of the voters OF

should bs at once thorough organization OF
all legal voters of this State.
We, therefore, urge upon you to order an
immediate organization Of all the Central

The election bill came up in the Senate yes
terday and, IS will be seen by our report OF
the proceedings of the Legislature, the Senate
refused to agree with the House in the House
amendments; that is, they again refused to
adopt the House Election bill, for the Senate
bill as amended by the House and returned to
the Senate was nothing more nor less than
the original House bill. The Senate how
ever, carried out the agreement of the eau
cuses and decided to appoint conference
committee.
THE COMMITTEE
appointed by the Senate was as follows
Messrs. Twischell, Goode, Sypher, Grover and
Massicot.
The action of the Senate will be reported
TO the House to-day, and there is but little
doubt that the House will appoint com.
