cr0wning net Of fully yesterday by rrete1nl-
Ing 10 choose Joscph l.. Smith Governor Of
tho State. It WIS ridiculous enough for
Actlng.t'oycrnor Latnson to grnvely 30
through tho farce If appointing military
stuff when lle has not succeeded In "ncting"
Governor IN any other particular. But tlIls
absurd performance was completely Gcl!psrtl
by tic lump Legislature When It went
through the forms Of clecting II regular Ex-
ucutiye. The llsimp House met M'd elect
ed by unanimous yot1 to present to the
Sennto tho two names Of Smith and uar-
ctlon; then tic Iiump Senate met and e!ose
by unanimous votc tho mime Of Smith; then
the two llumps met In joint convention, atltl
unanimously elected M Executive Council.
Having done nil this, the situation reslnIns
precisely wl,nt 1t was before tic comedy wus
played.
Tic Fusion Houso clainetl the right to
proceed with its part Of the election Of Gov
crnor by reason OF having scventy-stx "ancrl-
bcrs," or Just u quorum. III order to get
this quorum, the 1tlmr l,atl g1ne further
than t!arce]on md Ills Council won't. Tho
