in the afternoon and all were out in
plenty of time to view the eclipse. In
fact, Chairman Miller did not deem it
necessary to make lengthy speech

the entire assembly seemed to be in
happy accord and SO smoothly did the
Democratic bark sail that all the bust
ness was transacted and an adjourn
ment declared by unanimous consent
in just about twenty minutes. In this
there will be little comfort to those
our Republican friends and the Sin

that there would be something do
ing" in the Democratic Camp this fall
that would weaken the party's grasp
upon the States governmental af-
fairs.
