The council stands 8 democrats and

Gratis to IL republicans.
All these are here except Councilmen
Homer and Gray, of Albany county.
The members began to assemble last
week, and came in each day until last
night all were present except those
mentioned above. The Inter-O ocean
seems 70 be their chosen headquarters,
and in the earlier part of last evening
it presented u busy scene of life, hustle
and activity.
There were plenty Of candidates for
the offices to be awarded, and few of
them manifested any bashfulness in
urging their claims. The democrats
manifested a disposition to organize
both branches on strict party lines, and
if they insist on this the republicans
will have to content themselves with
!the crumbs that fall from the masters
table" the former party having, as
above stated, a clear majority in both
houses. AS the evening advanced, the
mass melted away, and resolved itself
into little knots of embryo state smen,
who gathered in various parts of the
house and held confabs by them
selves. The western members seem
determined to have an official reporter,
that office having been suspended for
two years, but many of the members
from Cheyenne and vicinity op pose 1t.
The former claim, and with considera.
BILE reason, that as the papers in their
vicinity cannot afford to send special
correspondents to the field, they have
no way of obtaining the news fresh and
at first hand unless such an officer is ap-
pointed. II they stick together they
will undoubtedly carry their point, as
this section a hardly afford to fight
them, in view of possible reprisals in
the future.
