Governor Wlnans was averse TO
calling special session OF the legisla-
ture because q was feared IL
would also necessitate the calling
of SPECIAL elections TO elect two demo-
cratic senators, possibly three. aud
three representatives that have re-
signsd their Offices. It Is probable
that IN case Of an election all of them
would be returned as republicans and
the legislature would be republican on
q Joint ballot. tie discovers too, that If
the Apporhonment OF 1885 is unconsti-
tutlonal, no valid election can be held
under ig and the present members of
the legislature are IN Office under color
OF title only. The last legal legislature,
under . strict Interpretation of the
courts decision was that Of 1856. All
subsequent legislatures have been
elected under law declared to
be unconstitutional. But this fact
does not invalidate their acts
nor impair the obligation Of

sented his district in congress for one

Speaking Of the recent fire at Bay

it will recover from 1t in time. Just 8!
