hour later than the time fixed at adjourn
nent last night Rumors of changes and
breaks which prevailed on the. street
early this morning, and the belief that
there would be either q nomination, or at
least decided change in complexion on

dience 70 gather a: Al early hour in un-
usual numbers-
The usual compliments were made by
the galleries 70 Generals Logan and Gar
field and Mr.. Osnkling. Everything is in
teverish condition. The Grant men and
ant-Grsnt men were in caucus last night,
the latter until after 4 o'clock, but without
reaching 4 common basis Of action. 4
delegate says that the plan of Grant lead
ers ia 70 cause some Southern delegation
TO break and 90 to Window. This will
prevent the votes OF Min1esots
from going 70 Blaine ana Sher-
man. but cause break in other
delegations, out Of which it is expected
enough votes will 90 TO Grant TO nominate
him. 1t is understood that Massachusetts,
will vote for Sherman this morning With q
hope Of putting 3 termination 70 the con-
test and drive from the field both Grant
and Blaine. On the other hand, the nine
Blaine delegates Of Ohio threaten 70 seize
Garfield and cause stampede to him.
This would al once denoraliEe the sher-
man forces.

Of Centenary Methodist church, this city.

The scene presented in the galleries was
certainly one Of the most extraordinary
ever presented on similar occasions, there
being enough ladies present 70 add
beauty and animation. As the band
struck up "RGlly Round the FlAg" the
audience sung the music with remarkable
accuracy, and this was followed BY three
cheers and tiger. Over half an bour was
consumed in this way before the roll

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

FtlulStiii,<as Of tbs Senate and AS%a,hy
Ry the favor of Divine Providence
YOU are permitted to convene III ANIMAL
legislative session at this time, under
most favorable circumstances. Al
though the people Of Wisconsin suffer
ed rs little ineouv snience, during the
recent protracted depression in business,
in the prosecution OF their public and
private affairs, SIS the people OF any
state, and less than in most OF the states,
and except in rare instances were en-
Grely uuacquainteG with actual priva-
ton and suffering, yet none the less is It
true, that progress and development
were materially impeded and enterprise
and enthusiasm well nigh exhausted.
The past year, however, has witnessed
many auspicuous changes. Everywhere
reviving industry hetokens returned
prosperity; hope has supplanted doubt,
and dependency given way to cheer
fulness. Labor and capital are once
more in substantial accord, and never
was new year heralded with more en-.
couraging promises.
1t affords me much pleasure to be
able to assure you that the affairs and
condition OF the state are equally salts
factory. 1t will appear from the vari-
Gus reports Of officers and boards OF
management that economy has charae
terized public expenditures and faithful
ness and efficiency been manifest in all
the state departments, and institutions.
