LEGISLATURE MEETS.
The Election of Officers and the Gov
ernor's Message the Matters
of Interests.

of Interests.
The General Assembly met OF Dover o
J Tuesday, but the only work done was
} elect the officers who had been nominate
at the caucusses on the night before, liste
to the governors message and adjourn ur
til next Menday morning.
The organizations of the two houses ar
as follows
Senate-Speaker, William T. Watson, o
Kent.
Clerk, Charles A. Hastings, of Sussex.
Reading clerk, E. B. T. Springer, of New
Castle.
Chaplain, the Rev. Cyrus Cort, of Kent.
Sergeant-at-arms, Samuel Thomas, o.
Kent.
Page, Samuel Fl. Boyer, of Kent.
House-Speaker, H. H. McMullen, of New
Castle.
Clerk, Edgar 7. Hastings, of Sussex.
Reading clerk, T. E. Browne, of Kent.
Chaplain, the Rev. w. L. S. Murray, of
Kent
Sergeant-at-arms, John PrindiviIle, of
Sussex.
Page, E. Wright, of Kent.
The character of the organization is very
gratifying especially to the mass of Repub-
lican party who desire the reelection of
Senator Higgins, and there is every indica
ton Of his being the almost unanimous
choice of the electors as he is that of the
party at large.
There was large crowd of politicians of
both parties in Dover on the night of the
Caucus who also saw the new Legislature
go in with the New Year. The office seek
ers were in strong evidence, and many
hopes were blighted with the broken states.
1t is expected that the Republican men,
bers of both houses will caucus to nominate
a candidate for senator on Monday evenin g.
1t is more than probable that the selection
Of acandidate will be made in one night.
The clerk of the Senate and the clerk of |
The House are both named Hastings
Two members of the General Assembly |
are named Watson. One is a member of !
he State Senate and the other of the House |
Both are Demt Gratis and both are from |
Milford.
There is a Senator Pyle and Representa-
i've Pyle, both Of who are from Wilmington.
There is Il Senator Moore and Representa-
i've Moore, both of whom are from Sussex
county.
