LINCOLN , Jan. C. ( Special. ) The
was opcnetl by prayer this morning by Chap
lain-elect Mallry. Speaker Oalfln announced
that tlio next business In onlcr would be Iho
election of chief clerk , but was remlmleil
by a member that roll call preceded that
business , and ho gracefully admitted his
error , and the roll was called.
Sheldon , from the committee- creden
tials , reported that there were still several
member * who had not handed In their cre
dential ! ) . Mexico of Antelope , Prince of Mad
ison , and Henderson of York , were said to
bo Miy on credentials , but , with the excep
tion of Prince , who IB not present , the mat
ter wag adjusted , and thu house proceeded
to complete the organization which It left
unfinished last evening.
It wan moved that a committee wait on
Ohlof Justice Test and escort him to the
liall for the purpose of swearing In tha
new officer. ? . I'ollnrd of Cass said ho be
lieved the speaker was fully empowered to
administer all oaths , and believed It would
be a good thing to do away with the t-cr-
vlccs of the chief justice altogether. Speaker
Gaffln demurred at this suggestion , and
uald It would be a grave breach of prece
dent , and one not warranted by the situa
tion. Ho then appointed as a committee to
wait on the chief Justice Crow , Jenkins
and Hull.
On their return Crow moved that the house
now proceed to elect the officers selected
by the caucus by acclamation , and It waa
dono. This reunited In the selection of
Frank D. Knger , chief clerk : U. B. Foster ,
first assistant ; A. W. Dnrnhart. second us-
elstant ; L. A. Delcher , sergcant-at-arms ;
John C. Ilammang , doorkeeper. It was con
tended that until the enrolling and engross
ing clerks had been clocted there could be
no perfect organization of the hou- , and this
was admltto'l. IJut no names were selected
at this session , nnd the * house proceeded .to
elect Rev. C. C. Malley of David City chap
lain , and Ralph K. Pamms postmaster.
Speaker Gaflln was then authorized to
name all other officers and clerks of the
bouse. A populist member moved that a
committee on supplier bo appointed to find
out what had become of the supplies Irft over
from the last session and to provide for
other article In this line for the future ,
llouso of Hall , however , raised the point of
order that the house was not yet fully or
ganized , nnd that the motion was , there
fore , out of order. RousO was sustained
by the ppcakcr.
OKKICIJRS TAKE THE OATH.
Speaker Onllln then announced that the
chief Juutlco was then In his room and pre
pared to swear In all the newly elected offi
cers. A recess of ten minutes wart taken for
this purpose. On the return of these officers
Hull and Harlan moved to adjourn. No time
was mentioned In his motion. This led to n
debate , although the speaker continually
Insisted that the question was not debatable.
Finally It wan agreed to take a recoro until
4 p. in. , and It was done.
The house got together at 1:15 : p. m. , and
the following were elected clerks : Charles
O. Wallace. Dawson county , enrolling clerk :
John Ij. Cleaver. Richardson county , en
grossing clerk. The house was now de
clared duly organized. A resolution was sent
to the clerk by Clark. Lancaster , asking that
the American Hag he kept flying fiom the
state house , and the resolution was adopted.
Sheldon fccnt up a motion , which was read
by the clerk , that n commit tee of three be
nppplntcd to notify the senate that the house
was now organized and ready for business.
The motion prevailed , and the speaker named
the following : Sheldon of Dawcs , Rleu of
Douglas and Clark of Lancaster.
Uurkott tent up a motion that the commit
tee on supplier ho named by the speaker.
This was side-tracked by a motion that
the house must proceed to canvass the vote ,
and that until this was done no other busi
ness could be done.
Sheldon , however , Insisted that the Twen
ty-fourth session had transacted other busl-
ncsc previous to canvassing the vote , Jen
kins said that If the republican party had
violated any law It Wan not necessary for the
present house to do DO.
Sheldon said that ho was glad to olworvc
that his republican friend , Jenklnn. had
already commenced to apologize for the ac
tions of the Twenty-fourth legislature. Jen
kins declared that while he disliked to en
ter Into personalities so early In the session ,
he desired to say that while ho was a mem
ber of the legislature he would never apolo
gize for a wrong committed by any person
or party.
The house then adjourned until 10 a. m.
tomorrow.

LINCOLN , Jan. C. ( Special. ) The free sil
ver meeting at the Lansing theater was
called to order this morning at 11 o'clock by
John Jeffcoat of Omaha. The auditorium was
packed , nnd when the house of representa
tives adjourned shortly after many of the
members failed to secure seats , and some
even standing room , In tha theater. Joffcoat
Introduced Congressman Greene , of the Sixth
district as the acting chairman of the meet
ing nnd In a brief address stated the object
of the gathering. Owing to the fact that
W. J. Ilryan was obliged lo leave on the 2:15 :
p. m. train for the cast , the hour of the
mooting had been changed. Greene referred
to the recent campaign as a drawn battle.
Ho did not regard It as n political Hull Hun.
In 1000 hs said the sliver side of the cam
paign would bo under the management of
moro experienced heads than the last one.
Ho did not sco how dufcat could bo possible.
W. J. Drynn was then presented as "Amer
ica's most brilliant citizen. " Ilryan said
that It wat better to have run and lost than
never to have run at all.
At 12 o'clock the preliminary meeting
broke up and reconvened at 2. A. perma
nent state league was perfected. The tem
porary organization was ns follows : Chair
man. G. N. Hcrge , Lincoln : secrutnry , H.
C. Richmond , Red Cloud : assistant secre
tary , Peter O'Drlen , Huffalo. The nomi
nating committee on permanent officers Avns :
Gcorgo E. Htglow. J. J. Dunn , G. A. Luke-
hart , Judge Miller , Judge Ucal and 11. A.
Moore.
At 3:30 : the permanent organization was
effected by the election of Cunningham R.
Scott of Omaha ns president and Jamtrf
Stockl'tun of Custcr county as s-cretary.
The Ilryan people In Lincoln are very much
exercised Juat now over a suppressed letter
that was Intended to have been read at the
recent banquet tendered Hryan1 by the Free
Silver Traveling Men's club. The letter wan
written by Hon. David Ovcrmyer of Topeka.
Kan. , and , It la claimed , that It was n
most brilliant production , calculated
to redound to the credit of
Ovcrmyer. J. II. Alwood of Lsavcnworth
Is the man accused of having suppressed
the letter , in order that he , himself , might
shine at the banquet as a luminary only
equaled by Ilryan. It Is given out that Atwood -
wood and Overmyer do not apeak to each
other , and as Ovcrmyer Is a candidate fern
n United States sonatorshlp , Atwood did
not deem It good policy to have the letter
rend nt the banquet.
The reading of the letter couched In Im
pressive language might have awakened an
enthusiasm among the traveling men and In
duced them to request Dryan's Influence In
favor of Overmyer. Hence the disgust or
Lincoln Hryanltw. Overmyer spoke here
during the campaign and became qulto
popular. *
ADOPT A DECLARATION.
The free silver people convened again
this evening In the Lansing theater and
adopted what la termed a declaration of
principles. There was a majority and a
minority report , the latter favoring green
backs , and over this the delegates argued for
nearly two hours. It was finally decided
to make the minority report a portion of the
whole platform. In substance the resolu
tions declare for the formation of the "Ne
braska Bimetallic Union , " under direction
of four commlttccmen. They declare for the
frco coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
1 without the- consent of any other nation
on earth , nnd declare that the money question
Is the paramount Issue of the day and
likely to remain BO until 1900. The minority
report added ns follows : "And wo demand
that nil money , whether gold , silver or pa
per , shall bo coined by the government nnd
shall bo full legal tender for all debts , pub
lic and private. " There was developed EOIIIO
opposition to this , but It was adopted by a
largo majority.
Judge Gregory of Omaha , free silver re
publican ; A. C. Shollenbarger of Harlan
county , democrat ; F. H. Edinlsten of Dawson -
son county , popullfit ; nnd George K. Illgelow
of Lincoln were elected the four committeemen -
men named In the resolution.
Miss Mary Falrbrother of Omaha was
added to the committee as an honorary mem
ber. The convention then ndjourued.

road bis biennial message to the legislature.
Governor D. Mi dough's message
was read before the two houses of
the legislature at 11 o'clock In Joint
session. It was very voluminous and goca
Into detail of all the workings of the various
departments of the state. The financial re
ports show credits to the various funds ag
gregating $850(111. After calling attention
to thu recent reduction of the nsscsscd valu
ation of the state as It affects the tax levy
ho suggests the need of a thorough revision
of the general tax jaw nnd recommend' ? the
creation of n tax commission or the op-
potntmonL of a Joint committee of the two
houses for the same purpose , such commis
sion or committee to present Its findings to
the next legislature. Ho recommends the
suggestions of the public examiner looking
toward the greater safety of all funds , public
and private , on deposit In the various bankf ,
for the greater care In the handling of public
money. A number of recommendations for
the moro careful regulation of loan find
trust companies are made. The work of the
grain nnd warehouse commission In the In
spection nnd handling of grain comes In for
approving words and In regard to schools ho
recommends that the free text book laws , DS
applied to districts , bo made compulsory.
Ho recommends the adoption of some fystom
of mtnblUhmcnt of county roads , with lim
ited state aid , and urges the need of better
roads nnd better .methods of roadmaklug.
He briefly reviews the work of the various
state Institutions , notes the work on the new
capltol and recommends that the commla-
aloncrs be given power to hasten It while
the cost of work la lo.w , but keeping them
within the original cost price. Ho suggests
chnngeis In minor portions of the factory in
spection law. In the manner of taxation any
needed addition' In Income Is augijcsted ns
more properly obtatnablu from new methods
of taxation rather than by Increasing the
levy. ' '
