after next week good deal of trouble will
be experienced in the house in maintaining a
quorum. | am told by the two men who fur
nish pairs for the members that two thirds of
them want to get away. and that 1t

that nothing of an important political ma
ture will arise: then the fact that there Is q
republican majority in the senate to filtrate
the necessity of members of the house re-
naming here less There is no more com
mittee work to do, and the republican and
democratic members are alike anxious to get
into the field of the coming affray. 1t Is gem
orally believed that the personal character of
a candidate will figure more largely in the

following:
Senator Logan, seated in richly unhols-
tered chair in his committee room on military
affairs, pulling away at q brarwoOd pipe,
was the target of divers complimentary re-
marks from u large party of friends and adj
mirerS who had dropped in to pay respects.
The general took it all in, with frequent puff5
of approval, and finally, removing the briar-
root, observed with much emphasis: well,
gentlemen, you may talk as you please about
politics and say all the fine things about me
that YOU can, but ii seems that no longer

were present with twenty-five towns not
represented. A resolution asking the legisla-
ture to appoint state railroad commission
was referred to committee of nine. An
Interchangeable resolution was submitted
and referred, rs were also resolutions en-
dorsing Gladstones efforts for home rule.
Lieutenant Governor Arnsbee was nom-
mated as n candidate for governor and the
motion seconded, and on the first ballot was
declared the nominee.
Levi X. Fuller was nominated for lieuten-
ant-governor: Z. w. Porter, secretary of
state; w. Ii. Dubois, treasurer; +. III: Pow
ell, auditor. The platform declares firm al
legiance to the principles of the republican
party; asserts that the democratic party dur
ing the present control of the governments
has shown itself incompetent to grapple with
the living issues of the day; that the Morri-
son tariff bill with riders attached by demo-
cratic committee to important appropriation
bills, show that the democratic party is still
opposed to protection of American indus
tries, opposed to civil service reform, and
unfit to be trusted with the government OF
