DovER. Feb. IS.

Some people are of the opinion that the
Legislature Ia In a Rip Van Winkle state
ON account of its members falling TO elect
United States Senator, but to be cnn-
yinced to the contrary a visit to either
the House or Senate would be sufficient.
More business has how boen transacted
10y the present Legislature than by either
the session of 1898 or 1891.
% The members OF the other Legislatures
used to SIT three or four days week,
whereas, the present members give the
entire week to business except 10 minutes
daily. "Whct does the SITUATION look
like. any how" is u question often heard
In different parts OF the State, and In my
opinion 1t looks that tho Democrats In.
tend to gly0 complimentary votes to all
the leading lights OF the State.
As to the Republicans. 1t looks Just as II
, did q month ago-that 1t will have to be
either Higgins or AddcKs or nobody.
Rumor csn be picked IN on avery coruer
taikinE to Miss 1 Think" aud the admir-
ers of both aspirants are simply saving
wood.
