 ALBANY, Jan. 2--Both houses of the state legislature convened today and pro- ceeded to organize. The election of officers was merely form, for all the details had been fixed in the caucuses. Governor Flowers message was received and read. By tomorrow the lawmakers will be in full swing, and there is long programme already mapped out.

Ac- cording to a previous arrangement, the majority of the assembly met in the sembly chamber and the minority-the Democrats-in the assembly parlor. The Republicans of the senate met in the sen ate library and the Democrats in the lieu tenant governors room. Prior to the time of the Republican caucuses there was lit tie or no friction, and the slates went through as arranged.
