Washington, Jan. 1.-The grip and

IRENE cold weather, the ceremony was
witnessed by a great crowd gathered IN
the assembly hall of the capitol. Pre-
ceding the Inauguration there was a
parade of civic and military bodies.
Bishop Doane of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of Albany offered prayer;
and Secretary of State McDonough ad-
ministered the oath OF Office to the
gOvernor-elect, after which Governor F.
S. Black welcomed his successor. Gov
ernor Roosevelt said, in part:
"A heavy responsibility rests upon
the governor of New York state, a state
of 100000 of inhabitants, of great
wealth. of widely varied industries and
with a population singularly diversi-
fed, not merely in occupation, but in
race origin, in habits of life and in
ways of thought
1t is not an easy task so to frame
our laws that justice may be done to
all alike in such a population, so many
of whom have interests that seem en-
tirely antagonistic. But upon the great
and fundamental issues of good gov
eminent there must always be a unity
of interest among all persons who wish
well to the commonwealth.
There is less need of genius or Of
any special briliancy in the admins
Uration of our government than there
is need of such homely virtues and
qualities as common sense, honesty and
courage.
1T is absolutely impossible for a re-
public long TO endure If it becomes
either corrupt or coWardly; If it is,
public men, no less than it's private
men, lose the Indispensable virtue OF
honesty, if its leaders of thought be-
come visionary doctrinaires. or if it
shows lack Of courage in dealing with

TURPIE,s SUCCESSOR.
Indiana Goldbugs Engage In a Lively
Scramble


indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1.-Two
thirds of the Republican members OF
the Indiana legislature are here, parti-
cipating in the fight for the election of
a. United States senator to succeed Da-
vid Turpie, Democrat. Senator Turpie
has served continuously for twelve
years and Will, from all indications, re-
ceive the unanimous complimentary
vote of the minority. There are five
active candidates for his place-Judge
r. S. Taylor of Fort Wayne; J. Frank
Hanly of La FayeIte, Major George w.
Steele of Marion, Frank 3. Posey of
Evansville. and Albert J. Beverage of
indianapolis. The fight is peculiar be-
cause of the unusually large number
of candidates, who represent pretty
well all sections of the state.
The first senatorial caucus viii be
held Jan. 10 There are likely to be
several caucuses, as a choice at pres
enH seems to be far removed. Under
an act of congress governing the time
of electing senators, the first ballot
must be cast Jan. H.
Just at present there is no doubt that
Hanly, who is an eX-member OF con-
gress, is in the lead, with eight or ten
more votes at his command than any
other candidate. Judge Taylor stands
second in the race, and there Is
strong under-current in his favor. Po-
sey's location is counting in his inter
esf. as the southern half of Indiana has
not had a senator for nearly forty
years Major Steele's abilities as a
practical politician cause him to be
feared by the other candidates.
Predictions on the result are uncer-
tain. and a deadlock is predicted by
s,oo6 ,,,a0.- politicians with Governor
Wount General Lew Wallace, ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Cumback and a. C.

the Senatorship.

sixth biennial session of the Nebraska
Legislature. convenes at noon tomorrow.
The Republicans haYe a majority of
nine on joint ballot. seven in the senate
and two in the house, assuring that
party, in all probability, a successor to
United States Senator Allen.
The most interesting struggle, /)r the
time being, is a contest for organization
OF the lower house, the canvass for
speaker being especially exciting. What
in the early stages of the struggle
looked like a Republican spit, and the
possibility Of a fusion speaker, has to-
night given way to d better feeling,
with a prospect of some sort OF an
agreement before the hour of conven-
ing. Late tonight caucus on the
speakeTship was begun, with prospects
of continuing until long after midnight.
The ballot for senator VIII occur two
weeks from tomorrow. and while the
fusion minority viii give their solid
support to Senator Allen, the Repub-
lican strength will be divided among
eleven active and passive aspirants.
The Republican list includes Judge NJ.
L. Hayward of Nebraska City; D. r.
Thomson. G. NJ Lambertson, Allen w.

CONFEDERACY'S DEAD.
Nearly Twenty-Five Thousand Buried

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. General Glenn
ent a. Evans Of this city, who was
chairman of the commission appointed
by the governor in response to a reso-
luton adopted by the last legislature,
requiring the members to secure in
formation as to the location of the
graves of confederate soldiers who died
in northern military prisons, has sent
a cory of their report to General Mar
Gus j. Wright, the agent of the war de-
partment, whose letter to the adjutant
general of Georgia has already been
made public. The report is by no means
complete, and it is lacking in essential
details, because the work of the COM
mission was hampered by the lack of
suitable appropriation of funds TO meet
necessary expenses but it shows that
nearly $4,000 confederate dead are bur
led in northern states.
