After ratifying their former action in re-
gard to the governorship, considerable
discussion took place as to the plan Of
action to be taken in regard to the ses-
sion of the legislature called by Gov. Tay-
lor at London next Tuesday. Though none
of those who attended the caucus cared
to discuss the matter 1t seemed to be
well understood among the Democratic
members of the legislature that the ses-
sion at London will he ignored altogether
by them and that no Democrat will at
tend unless compelled to do So" 1t was
practically decided that no formal de-
mands will be made to hold sessions of
the legislature in the state house by the
Democratic members in a body. who will,
however. continue to hold sessions at
some convenient place until the political
atmosphere has cleared. This plan Of ac-
ton was decided on to forestal any at
tempt on the part of the Republicans to
arrest them and compel their attendance
at London. which action, according to the
Democratic members, has been determn-
ed on by Gov. Taylor.
