DOings by Days.

Your correspondent has Witnessed
the opening of the 10Th session of the
Nevada Legislature in all its pomp
and ceremonies. Yesterday, the
Lords day, was co%nsecrated, or desc;
Grated bysssuch a horde Of lobbyists, log
rollers and hangers-on, as is usually
on hand at the Preliminary skirmish-
ing attendant on the opening of a
Legislative session.
The man was there who saved the
State, county or precinct, for the Sill
yer party, and he hailed from nearly
every village in Nevada, and wanted a
position in the State House of course.
The man was there who was a Silver
man all his life and never cared any
thing for the Democratic or Republi-
can party had sworn allegiance to the
new party ever since he observed that
it was going to be on top. The Airing
ton Hotel reading and bar room was
full to overlooking with men, tobacco
smoke and politics. Club room eau
cuses, bar room caucuses and sitting
room caucuses held full sway, and the
buz buz Of the politician and candidate
for this or that position resounded
through the corridors like the hum Of

The girls, Silver party girls of course,
had full possession of the parlor and
kept the porters busy running for this
Assemblyman and that Senator to come
hither and listen while they poured
sweet petitions of power, patronage
and poverty into his ov~erburdened
ears. 8 O'Clock came, being the hour
named for the caucus, and the two
Houses went to work to elect their
attaches for the session. The Sena-
tors had Il deal oil time, the Silver men
being in the majority by one vote and
that M standing OH the fence as
between the old time Republican and
the new party. He had to be handled
very carefully. 1t was IL o'clock mid
night before they had completed the
task of electing attaches. The result
was given in my first letter.
At noon on Monday both houses
were called to order and within an
hour both were organized.
After the attaches had been sworn
in aud provision made for future
prayer an agricultural member in
each house moved to adjourn and it
was done.
