DAVIS SWORN IN.
At Gas p. III. another Convention was
formed. The people had waited for this,
not man moving from the densely packed
hall. A committee representing both
branches waited upon Governor-elect Davis,
and soon reported he would forthwith at
tend upon the Convention to take the oath Of
office. As he entered the hall, attended
by the Council and several distinguished gen.
tlemen, the crowd arose as one man, and the
air was rent with deafening applause, stead
lily increasing in volume until the Capitol
building fairly rocked. Men jumped upon
the seats and upon each others shoulders,
pounded with canes, and manifested their
joy in ways indescribable. AS Davis
stood at the right Of the President and faced
towards the people, the applause broke out
again, and three cheers followed for Davis
for Blaine, for Boutelle, Chamberlain, Nash,
and Sproul.
After quiet had been restored, Gov. Davis,
in an impressive manner, took the oath OF
office and delivered his address.
DAVIS INAUGURAL.
Gov Davis spoke as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF TIE SENATE AND HouBE
OF REPRESENTATIVES: For nearly sixty
years you and your fathers have assembled
to deliberate upon the wants Of the Common
wealth and enact Its laws. In all these years
the safeguards thrown around representative
government have proved strong enough to
carry our good State in safety through every
danger. Annually the persons elect
ed by the people have been sum-
moned by the proper authorities
to meet and organize the Legislat ure, and
those defeated by the people have quietly
submitted to the will Of the majority. For
the first time In our history this rule in the
past has been reversed. Hence the unparal-
1eled excitement and popular Indignation
The organization Of the Legislature has,
for that reason, been delayed. Under
such circumstances you have shown
great forbearance. You have kept strictly
within the law. Coming from law-abiding
you have waited until sou could
obtain the opinion Of the Court That opin-
ion has been rendered, and to day you have
completed the organization Of the Fifty
ninth Legislature Believing this solution Of ,
The difficult pr obiem is striking illustration
ot the siren 9Th of republican government
where II only the majority can rule, and that
only add that shall take an early opportu-
nifty to express to you my views upon State
affairs.
CHEERING FOLLOWED THE ADDRESS,
which did not subside until the Gubernato-
nal party took their departure.
The Governor took possession OF the Ex-
ecutiye Chamber without any Interference
The only obstacle placed In the way BY the
Eusionlsts during the day was the refusal OF
the Deputy Secretary OF State to give up the
returns, but the certified copies
Of the clerks returns we're substituted.
At 7:45 both branches Of the Legislature
