to-day and NO procla nation has yet been
Issued by the Governor regarding the contro-
versy over the organization Of the Legislature.
The Porulists have evidently weakened
from the aggressive position they assumed
yesterday. and will not invoke the aid OF the
state militia in reducing their opponents to
subsection. Their latest plan Is to offer In
ducements to seven Republicans to abandon
the Republican branch aud Join that Of the
Porulists. under promise Of reward in making
up the i'm portant committees.
Should tney lose seven members the Pc
pubiicans would be left in the minority. while
tho Populists would thereby secure n consti-
tutional majority Of the members holding cer-
~tihcaics and DO atle to proceed with business
with out mourning n risk of having thor acts
declared Illegal by the Supreme Court.
