Mr.. Smith, of Jennings, offered concurrent
resolution providing for joint convention of
the Senate and House of Representative to wit
ness the inaugural of Governor-elect Gray at
Englisbs Opera-house next Monday, at o'clock
p. NJ, the two houses to meet at 1:30 o'clock and

ton providing that the pay of employees of the

Hilligass consideration of the resolution was

liant soldier of two wars to the position of Leuten
ant-governor of Indiana.
Mr.. Foulke said that if the resolution were
worded SO as to make it refer only to General
Manson, there would probably be no objection

one else upon. Mr.. Foulke offered the following
substitute for the resolution:

express its high sense of the personal and military
worth of Lieutenant governor Manson who is so soon
