legislature oonvenes on Monday next.
pursuant TO appointment the members
OF both houses viii meet In their re-
yuective halls IN the city and county
building at 1880 tonight, when OIL
GERS for both branches viii be selected.
AZ II looks now the speakership Of the
house VIII go to Hon. Thomas Hull of
Salt Lake. as Mr., Hull is practically
The only one mentioned for the position.
His supporters claim that he VIII nave
at least 20 votes, and as this is six
more than Is necessary TO elect, his
chances for success are very bright
The only other candidate for the place
is Hon. George N, Miller Of Emery
Who It was said today, had concluded
to let the matter go by default
For chief clerk Of the House the can
dldates are w. r, Vigus and Heber L,
Cummings, both Of Salt Lake, with Mr.,
Vgus in the lead. But should an out
side county insist on the appointment,
It il highly probable that those men
toned from Salt Lake, will be sacA-
feed. However, as none seem to be
seeking It, the honor may remain at
home.
