LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

Considering the fact that the Legislature
meets to-day, and that In connection with the
meeting there are 80 many interesting topics
for discussion. and 80 many subjects for specu-
lation and predictions, the gather ring yesterday
and last night at the 81. Charles Hotel rotunda,
the usual place Of assembly for statesmen IN
and politicians was decidedly small and those
who were IN attendance had little to say. and
that little Of BY no means an entertaining or In
structive character.
The truth Is that the average legislator is
dazed By the importance OF the questions and
particularly the two great questions. the con.
vention and the finances OF the State, which he
is called upon to consider and decide and In
the shadow OF these others which under ordi-
nary circumstances would be counted as OF
great consequence. are either lost sight OF or
ignored.
AS TO A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION,
quite a number of the legislators have been
instructed by their constituen to to advocate and
vote for it, To some have been delegated or
accorded the power TO ACT In accordance with
their own judgment" after hearing the uues-
tion discussed. but TO none, so far as could be
ascertained. have instructions been given to
oppose 1t. and the probabilities are strongly In
favor OF one being called ut aS early date as Is
practicable and possible.
The question Of
Is one which requires unusual consi deraticp.
and SO far no serious proposition looking to its
solution has been advanced. IL Is true that some
members have expressed their ideas and opin-
tons as to the proper way to get out of the ex-
listing difficulty. but their views have not been
received with anything like sufficient enthusi-
asm to give them any appreclable weight. The
matter Is one which Ia worthy OF, and will be
given. the most careful deliberation and 1t will
no doubt be some time before any measure pro-
posed in connection with It will receive the In
dorsement Of the majority necessary to put 1t
through.

chances OF the several candidates TOR

were hard at work throughout the day and dur
ing the evening. The opinion OF those who
are watching the contest and are supposed to
know sufficient to be able to predict the proba-
bic result is that Kenner leads. and that on the
second or third ballot either Jonas or Eustis,
according to the votes received. will withdraw
and the struggle will be between Kenner and
the remaining gentleman. with the chances on
the side Of the former.

that spies have been sent out, one of
