LINCOLN , March 14. Avastfnhount of talk has been-wasted here lately in the discussion of , the ponsibilttyof the governor calling the legislatnre to gether in special session. Nobody socnis to know definitely what , the prospect * are. An appeal to sundry state officials for information oa this subject has evoked but ono general response : "You know whntaNanco is ; when ho gets ready to signify Inn intentions ho will do so. ' ' ' A certain amount of reticence in tile chief nx- ecutivo is doubtless ijoramendabie , but in the present instance this re ticence 13 carried altogether ted far. It seems as though thoalmost ; univer sal demand made upon the | governor by thet state proas and the people JIG n- erally ought to load him tq'dcclaro his intentions. The sronerallnffjronco drawn from his actions * ta niat he is very reluctant , personally , to have the legislature meet. Notwithstanding many disclaimers which have boon is sued from his lipi of late regarding any further political aspirations which ho may have , it is orotty well boltovod hereabouts that the gpvernor has a congressional , yearning deep down in his anatomy , and that he , prefors..to take his chances , for a nomination at largo , whore ho might en mo in on his second wind as a compromise. Tilts' belief is natural on his part for the reason that if the districts were to bo formed as now Eoems probable , there would bo very little chance for him to secure f , nomination. The governor , however , does not seem to take into consideration the fact that the anti- monopolists might happen to control the next republican stiito con vent idn , nnd in that case diminish his chances1 to zero. If political aspirations still perplex him , ho had bettor gratify the wishes of the people by convening the legislature and taking his chances on this action The movement in favor of an extra session is very strong in the western portion of the state , where the people seem to feel that they are in danger of being loft out in the cold if candidates are nominated at largo. Apparently the inhabitants of the Republican Valley sown io expect that a district contain ing about ton counties and fifty thou sand people is to bo carved out for their npecial benefit. The prospects ore that there will be a multitude of apportionment bills introduced , if the legislature moots. The ono meeting most favorable here is that ono whjah throws Douglas and Lincastor counties together in one district. Lincoln statesmen nrguo that by tin's shoving Omaha off in ono corner the influence of the metropolis will bo largely crippled , and the salt basin candidate will walk off with the persimmons. The number of intellectual prodigies lieroabutswhoarogetting themselves intrimforaflighttothenHtionalcapita ) , is immpiuo. Half ths Lancaster bar are making preparations to more next winter. The State Journal company is con siderably exorcised over the prospect of a vigorous opposition daily being started horo. A lively republican newspaper could come in here and make effective competition , and the prospects seem to bo that such will bo the case. Jacob North and two asso ciates are to run the now oflice , but a Chicago journalist is spoken of as being - ing the probable founder of the now shoot. Matters at the state house are quiet , pending the absence of the gov ernor and secretary of state nt the scat of war. The few employes left on duty humbly beg of you to see that they are not hurt during their BO- journ in Omaha. AHOUS. His Daddy Wouldn't rot Him N'fctloiul Awaclatod Frew , INDIAKAPOUH , March 14.
