AT 6:15 P. NJ. another convention
was formed-this time for the most
interesting event of this season of
intense excitement. The people had
waited for this, not man moving
from the densely- packed hall. The
committee, representing both BRAN
ches, waited upon Governor-elect
Davis, and soon reported that he
would forthwith attend the conyen-
ton to take the oath of Office. AS
he entered the hall, attended by the
Council and several distinguished
gentlemen, the audience rose to
man, and the air was rent with de-
Tending applause, steadily Increasing
in volume until the Capitol building
fairly rocked. Men jumped up on
the seats and upon each others
shoulders, pounded with canes and
manifested their joy in ways indies
cribable. AS the Governor DAVIS
stood at the right of the President
and faced toward the audience. the
applause broke out again, and three
cheers followed for Davis, for Blaine,
for Bouttelle, for Chamberlain, for
Nash and for Sproul. After quiet
had been restored, Governor Davis,
in all impressive manner, took the
oath of office and proceeded to de-
liver the following address:
Gentlemen Of the Senate and House of
Representatives
For nearly sixty years you and
your fathers have assembled to de-
liberate upon the wants of the com
monwealth and enact its laws. In
all these years the safeguards thrown
around representative government
have proved strong enough to carry
our good state safely through every
danger. Annually the persons elec-
ted by the people have been sum-
moned by the proper authorities to
. meet and organize the legislature,
and those defeated by the people
have quietly submitted to the will of
the majority. For the first time in
our history this rule has in part been
reversed hence the unparalleled ex-
element and popular Indignation.
The organization of the legislature
has for that reason been delayed.
Under such circumstances you have
shown great forbeaance. You have
Kept strictly within the law. Com
ing from law abiding communities,
you have waited until you could OF l.
tain the opinion of the court. That
opinion has been rendered, and to-
day you completed the organization
OF the fifty-nintb legislature. Be
lleving this solution Of the difficult
problem is striking illustration of
the strength of republican govern
