might after what is in many respects
a remarkable session. AT the begin
ming there was every Indication that
the internecine strife Of the republi-3
cans would cause a ferment through
out the session and widen the breechs
between the two sections Of the party.
Fortunately the republican senators.
were able to make a compromise up-
on which organization was effected
without the aid OF the democrats and
the result Of this alliance against the
natural political enemy has been a
harmony which could not probably
have been secured in any other way.
While the independents and demo-
Icrats united for the organization of
the house it was on a basis that each
party should be unfettered as to
future action politically, and as re-
suit pretty fair, harmony obtained in
that body, so that at adjournment the
/ members of both houses parted with
! the best Of good feeling toward each
other.
AIT the close of the session there
was the usual spirit of fun exhibited
/ when staid members who had been
Isolate and orderly all through the
session renewed their youth and en-
tered into the rampant fun and jolli-
i fcation going on. There was the sing
ling, as usual, the throwing of bill
4 files and any old thing that was
handy and the usual grist of josh
resolutions, speeches, resolutions Of
respect and good wishes to presiding
Officers, clerks, etc.
The enrolling and engrossing forces
were kept busy getting the belated
i bills ready for the signature Of the
4 presiding officers and delivered to the
4 governor and at times the. wait was
1 tedious to those who were tired out
after the feverish anxiety of the last
i "a hours Of hard work, and when the
4 gavel fell which brought the tenth
4 Legislative assembly to close there
was a grand rush for the car, and soon
