THE spFrcHFs OF THE RETIRING AND INCOMING
EXECUTIVES LOOKED FORWARD TO
WITH INTREST.


Albany, Dec. 30 (speciaD.-The outward display at
tending the Inauguration Of Roswell p Flower as Gov
ernor will not be so grand rs that which David b.
Hill got for himself three years ago, when he had
large force OF soldiers and Grand Army men here TO
escort him from the Executive Mansion TO the capitol
OF course Mr. Flower Governor-e elect cannot nave
the National Guard troops ordered out to act as his
escort rs Hill did, but he pay for an extensive
display in the decoration Of the Assembly
chamber where the Inauguration ceremonies are TO
take place This he has done and the decorations In
this chamber correspond fully with the extent of the
next Governors pockelbook. Never before has this
room received much attention fDom the decorators
II has within the last few days 1t now Is gttehg
with the brilliant coors OF flags and banners which
have put I'm every place large enough to hold one
A broad platform has been built the Speakers
desk, and upon II David i. Hill will make his speech
closing his career Governor In name OF the state
OF Now.York and Roswell p. Flower will make his
speech opening his career Governor in name OF
this State. HIPS determination to make this city MS
home Is open announcement that ne stH Will
dominate the Executive Chamber.
Mr. HIPS speech Friday is looked forward to with
about a. much interest the speech which Nr Flower
Is expected to make. 1t Is thought that Hill may drop
some hints as to his expectations in the Presidential
line Mr. Flower has his speech all ready TO read after
his predecessor has told his hearers what ehas done
and perhaps what he intends to do. Mr. Flower, IL
is understood has confined himself mainly to the CEN
sus and a reapportlonment following In these two
subjects lines laid down with great care by the Gov
ernOr II need not create any surprise II there
crops into Mr. Flowers speech sentences made familiar
on account Of the many times that Hill has uttered
them OF one thing Mr. Flower is certain, and
that ia that the census be taken early this year,
so that to the present Legislature the duty Of making
reapportonnent under 1t will come. Home rule and
economy given out likely TO be considerable
burden Of HIS song.
Besides the one military body the Burgess Corps,
which will act rs an escort to Mr.. Flower from thc
Executive Mansion to the Capitol there will be COM
mlttee OF citizens who to-day were appointed by
Mayor Manning to act additional escort TO the

busy during the last few days carrying cases of wines
and bottles Of liquors into the hotel for the use OF the
Democrats who will attend the banquet tomorrow
NIGHT which the State officers have been preparing
In honor OF the outgoing Governor. The utmost
secrecy as to whom the guests 20 be and what IS
going to be done by those who attend prevails among
The state officers" who are credited with getting
up the dinner. But it Is asserted that the
most that the state officers" are allowed
10 do will be to pay from SO TO $50 each for the
privilege OF watching David i. Hill and the members
OF ihc Democratic state Committee celebrate tho re-
cent victory law and justice rs IL IS, telc IS
