order at 2:20 by Speaker Weeks, and prayer
was offered by Rev. Mr.. Cobb, of Augusta.
The representatives hall was packed with men,
every inch OF space surrounding the seats be-
! ing occupied by standing men, while the gal
! leries were a solid mass of human beings. The
taking up of passes at the outer doors was
abandoned at this time, the police being re-
moved To the foot of the staircases and doors of
| the two houses just as prayer was ended.
| Mr.. BLAINE
came upon the Moor of the house and was re-
ceived With the utmost enthusiasm, men get
ting upon chairs and desks and waving hats
and handkerchiefs, while they rent the air with
| cheers and shouts. Business was entirely sus-
pended for few minutes, and it was some time
| before anything like order could be restored.
! Lot Morrill, and Eugene Hale followed Blaine,
| and received greeting scarcely less cordial.
The Republican members We're all present

and Temple, of Edding, Fusion members, en-
tered and took the seats they had pied in

dent Locke, of Portland. Senator Atwell, of
Penobscot, and one or two other fusionists,
occupied seats in the rear of the chamber, but
not the desks to which they are entitled. Half
a dozen spectators in the gallery presented a
striking contrast to the crowds in the House.
Sounds of cheering and handciapping from the
House occasionally reached the Senate cham

DAVIS ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Re-

your fathers have assembled to deliberate upon
the wants of the commonwealth and enact its
