ORGANIZATION OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The Democrat tic members of the Mary
!az.d Legislature held their formal caucus
ca Tuesday night and selected the follow
Jig officers:
Senate-President, John Hubner; secre-
tarv, Alfredo G. Ritter. ofFredcrick county;
reading clerk, Albert ]. Alnony, of Mont
5 merry county; journalclerk, Richard ii.
|rorthington, OF Baltimore city; serge ant
: arms, Samuel G. Falconer, of Queen
Annes county; chief engrossing clerk,
Samuel J. Bell, of Carroll county.
House, Speaker, Noble L. Mitchell, of
Hartford county; chief clerk, DR.. B. l..
Smith, Of Dorchester county; Journal
clerk. Fred. Sasscer, Of Prince George' ;
county; reading clerk. Walter R. Tow l.
scnd. of Baltimore county; chief eigrosS-
ing clerk, Joseph H. Dahl, of Baltimore
City; sergeant at arms, l. T. James Brown,
of Somerset county.
The Legislature formerly met on We6-
nesday at noon and ratified the action cf
tic caucus. Both Houses then adjourned
until next Tuesday night, when the conf
rnittees assignments will be announced.
The Republicans OF the Senate and
| House held joint cGucus in the library
on the same evening that the Democrats
met. While the minority nominations
can only confer an empty honor, the Re
Lublcans are having much trouble ID
sitting their differences. The fight II
the party was over the selection of a can
d:date for Speaker of the House and can
clidate for United States Senator. Fo,
some weeks past it seems that Mr.. Wal
ouch, WHO'S lieutenant of Congressman
Tudd, would be the unanimous choice
or Speaker, and ex-senator S. A. vii
inns, of this county. would DC the choice
5or United States Senator. At the las
inoment, however, it developed that Mr.
i. l.. Drrden seemed to have more vote
-han MIR Walhach. This inccnsed tn
southern Maryland delegates very mucl
and they inlmediatclv rendered th,ir sup
port for United States Senator to Mr. vii
liam II. Jackson.
The fight is not yet ended, but on tn
formal vote for Speaker, Dryden received
every Republican vote.
