With its much larger membership,
the organization of the Assembly
was more picturesque than the GER
emony in the opposite legislative
chamber. Here, also the Demo-
cratic majority was much more pro-
nounced. The big chamber with its
sixty seats showed only eight Of
them occupied by Republicans. The
desk OF Assemblyman-elect Leeds, of
Gloucester, who died soon after his
election. was draped in black.
The Assembly was called to order
by Upton S. Jefferys, of Camden,
clerk of the last House. Prayer was
offered and then the fifty-nine mem
bers presented their certificates of
, election. The oath of office
was then administered to all the
members simultaneously. This was
the most impressive event of the
whole organization. The members
all stood at their desks, and with
right hands uplifted solemnly
swore Ito support the constitution
Of the United States and the consti-
tuition of the state OF New jersey"
and to faithfully discharge the du-
ties of members of the General AS
sembly according to the best Of my
ability"
