The reorganization OF the State
military Is expected to proceed now
with rapidly. Companies all over the
State have notified the Governor that
they stand ready to re-enter the ser
vice of the State. A number of them
have reorganized, and many viii do SO
at once.
1t is thought that about fifteen com
panies will be formed. Governor Tyler
prefers having but one regiment in the
State. Should only fifteen companies
apply for admission to the State SER
vice the Governor will have them in
spected closely. and the three making
the least credtable showing will be
disbanded. 1t Is the desire OF the Gov
ernor to keep the new military up TO
the highest possible state of efficiency.
The Governors declaration OF inien-
ton to compel the Blues when reor-
canned 10 be attached to one of the
regiments of the State created s-c,r1st1f-
cradle talk. and some opposition was
expressed. OF course, the organizations
