TRENTON, Jan. Is. 1s96.-Even to one
who has never seen a Legislature organ
ize. the coming together of the l20th
Legislature was tame. and to one who
has been in the State House year after
year when the new session has been
launched, it was simply monotonous. OF
course there were crowds. but not the
crowds of former years. There was no
trouble in making ones way through the
corridors. and when the Houses were
called to order there was room to spare
in the galleries of both chambers, while
the Hobbies were crowded, but not pack
ed as heretofore. AS usual the largest
throng was in the Assembly Chamber.
Whether it is because it is larger or be-
cause the Assemblymen are more bois-
ferrous and pugnacious, it is hard to say
why the crowds always flock there.
Everyone goes to the Assembly Chamber
first and except on special occasions no
oae goes to the Senate galleries until
those of the House are filled.
There was the usual display of flowers.
