Ing very apparent that 1t will be impossible to
hold the legislature here many days longer,
election or no election. 1t Is possible that 1t
may disband before the week ends. The feeling
for adjourning is growing rapidly. The stall
wart organ throws Off all disguise this morn
ing, and calls upon the legislature to adjourn
at once, asserting that any person elected Sen
ator by this legislator will not be allowed to
take his seat without q prolonged investigation
OF the charges Of bribery and corruption.

ators cannot be secured without caucus, but

pledge not to attend party caucus, they find
openly advertise one. They have, therefore,
drawn up cali for caucus, which requests
the assembly OF republicans In conference to
NO person to be declared nominated unless he
gets fifty.four votes; the caucus not to be held
unless sixty hve republicans sign the call. and
the nominees to be one half-breed and one stall
Wart This round rObbin document has been
placed in the hands OF the half stalwarts for
them to circulate, and use as their incentive,

Gus. but one held in accordance with the usages
OF the party, while the stalwarts organ pro-
claims, this morning, that the time for this leg
islature to hold caucus has forever passed

one Of the candidates for Senator has barely
escaped indictment by the grand jury.
