Bills to re-apportion the state into legis.
lative, judicial and congressional districts.
deem it important, also, to invite your
attention to the provisions of the constitu-
ton relating to special Legislation. The
sweeping character of the seventh section
of the third article leaves little room for
the enactment'of any other than general
laws. Such laws are. in some instances.
needed TO cary into effect the provisions of
the constitution, many of which are inop-
erative in the absence of appropriate legis-
1ation. To the end that time may not be
consumed in the consideration of acts
within the constitutional prohibition, re.
mind you that the executive is bound,
with yourselves, to strict enforcement of
the restraints on special legislation.
1t will be my highest duty and pleasure
to cooperate with you whenever requested
or required. 1t will also be my highest
hope that your labors may receive the ap.
proval of your own judgment, and the just
sanction of your constituents.

The machine has withstOOd the first
assault upon it but has never met so
strong an opposition. Its success in
the preliminary skirmish is by no means
a sure sign of its ultimate triumph.
The one thing apparently demonstrated
is that Grow is not the Man to defeat
the machine candidate. He is the first
man slaughtered. and now comes the Op-
portunity to try Mr.. divers vitality.
1t will, of course, speak i'll for the Re-
publican party if he should be elected {;
for whatever his OWL merits, it would be
the triumph of the corrupt element Of
the party.

Al HARRISBURG.
The Grow People Outgencrailei.

A"o OAo" COplC OulSChCi dHSN"
The caucus called by Crows Friends at
Harrisburg yesterday to control the organ
ization Of the House in the interest Of 1.-THE
field against Oliver, turned out rs the Op-
ponents of Grow anticipated. Its call was
a confession that Oliver was the favorite
aud Grow was in the "field.' Timid sup
portcrs of Grow we're scared Off and the
most that could be mustered ut the caucus
were 43-nOt a Lancaster man attending
except Lands, who Was quite Otficious.
The result was that when the House eau
Gus came the Oliver people put up Pome.
roy for chairman OF it and elected
him by G9 to 81 for Mckee, whom the
so-called "field" had put up OF the
Lancaster members Lands voted for
Mckee, and Peoples, Snader, Courtney
and Eshleman for Pomeroy. This showed
great weakness Of the auti-Oiiver forces
and the Oliver people now claim his cleo
tion assured and Grows defeat beyond a
doubt 1t is alleged that Grow will get
no votes from Lancaster county save those
of Kaufman and Lands.
The caucus was short and harmonious,
Harry Huhn being made chief clerk with
much palaver about his integrity Mayor
Patterson, of Harrisburg, resident clerk,
and Pearson, of Mercer, reading clerk.
The remaining officers are made by the
slate committee, appointed By Pomcroy
in the Oliver interest, headed by Billings
ley and including Snader. Of Lancaster.
This committee reports Valentine Nicely
and AL. Grosh, Of Lancaster county, fol
subordinate positions.
The Democrats Of the House went
through the form of picking out candidates
for some Of the offices. John +. Faunce,
of Philadelphia, will be solid Gor speaker
