He was rlad to see the crowd so Civil and circumspect. John ('. Talbot, the speaker of the Hoae, male a brief speech in the same vein . Dartus Alden, of Anguata, also made a few remaras. While there were quite a nui.ila-r of uly talking Fnsinnlsta In the crowd, most of tln-tet were Rood-natured and jokeit ahout tbe position of anal is. o threats wer made, but the Republicans were given to understand in many ways that this would h nst a-iains! them In the hext campaign.

serve the best Interests of our fc! ow cltizers." . Not rtastng bad a sufficient chancs to examine tb'4 mate reports, he refrains from making siÄged-ions referring to the departments, but i

rs-fers to the increasing depression in muustrial, commercial and raanntaeturlDg interees. He regards the pressnt Jmprovensent as rxtt temporarj". and considers as a prime evil theuenression in Maineship building inter ests, to which the attention of the Legislature is luvited, as well aa to the downtrodden condition of the laborh g clases. Among the causes of dissatis faction are overtaxation, priveiegeu systems of finance, extravagant administration, subsidies lor the netantnf a few at. the expense of many. etc. The legislature may meet on ine tomtiion ground of economy and retrenchment. Much was done by tbe Legislature to redoce taxation, which has becou.e a burdeu on the State and nation. The m. sage reviews this evil at length. The other topics of the message relate to education, ami the question of temper ance as affected by the present laws, some oi which should e changed, me attention oi nie land agent's oifics U recommended.

Orville 1) Baker, counsel for the Republican advisory committee, bas made a report in wh eh he takes the ground that the Slate has now no 1 gal or acting Governor, b-jcause If the oilice of governor had been vacant, under the conMiintloii. I.amsm was not legally elected president of the constitutional Senate; that tho Fusion Senate was not a legal body or legally organized, because It bas uo quorum and is without the vote of members wno were not in fact elected, and who did not even appear tob' elected on the face of the letnrns, aud therefore the cert iflcates they hold are unconstitutional aud void, aud the gov e nor aud council exceeded their power In issuing them. Since they are compelled by ihe conciliation to issue certificates to those who appear bv the returns to be elected, such certificates, Baker urge, Hie void as if ivued to persons for whom no votes at all were cast r return made. For the Mine teatos tbe FuiouJHouxe of Krprt ajmatives has uo legal staie, and for the auuiuoual reason that that Hou.-e liss never had a quorum voting on ny motion or measure, or on the election nf auy otlicer, even counting all members with fraudulent ceriincaUa. Raker contends also, aol illustrates by comparison of the eonstl'ntlon aa originally passed in U20, with various auaenuuienlü sine, that the term of oitiee of the executive council, secretaiy of state, treasurer and oihi-r State officers expired Wednesday, -Jannary 8, and that all those otflaa are now vacant.

After quiet had been restored Governor Dav Is, in an imntesaive manner, took the.stli of onice and dctiered an address. THE AI)bKs. Governor Davis spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives: For nearly W) years yoa aud your fathers have assembled to deliberate npon the wants of tbis Commonwealth and enact its laws. In all these years the safeguards thrown around the republican government bave proved strong enough to carry our good state in safety thronen every danger. Annually the.peisous elected by the people have b-en snutDConed by the proper authorities to tueet and organize a Iiegisiature, and those defeated by the people have quietly submitted to the will of the majority. For t lie first time In our history this rule in

the past bas been reversed; hence the unparalleled excitement and popular lndiznatiou. The organization of the I.enlsliture has tor that reason reeu delayed. I.'nder such circumstances you have shown creat forbearance yon have kept strictly within the law. coming from law abiding connmuuil i ; yon have waited until you could obtain the opinion of the court. Tint opinion hns been rendered, and today you have completed the organization of the Fifty-ninth Legislature. Relieving that ibis solution of the litln-nlt problem is a striking lllu-tratiou or tne strength of the republican government, where only the msjonty can rule, and that all good citl.ens will joyfully hail it as sm-h. 1 will ouiy add that I shall take an earl cppoitnnity lo express to you my views upon this state of affairs. The governor took HsseMsiu of the necntive chamber wit hoal nny Interference. The only obstacle placed in his way by the Fusion ists during the day was the refusal of the deputy secretary of slate to give up the gubernatorial retorts, but cert I tied copies of ileik's ret urns were substituted.

lldi'son and His Fleet ric Light What fh. Inventor Has to Saj'. New York, Jan. LV The Sun this morning says: There wns published yesterday a statement that matters in the shops of Inventor Klison.in Menlo Park, are rattier at a s and still; that maDy lamps have suddenly gone out owing to the break ing of the carlon horseshoes, and that Fdison Is now at work koIvid.' tbe mystery of the failure. P. was said that the lights crack the lamp-glasses and adml's air. The art ich' concluded with tho announcement, that 1 AÜf-on hopes to overcome the dilll'rulties in time to introduce tbe light into practical nse in New York betöre next winter. Mr. F.dlson was shown these statements last nigat, and said : "Some of these statements are ia)sboods. and some ot them are quite true Tho j;mpa have not tone out, and the cai on horsestaoes have not. b-oken.

To be cheap it must tie made .by machinery. He does not want ii to cost more thui 20 or :;n cents. He makes the big outside bulb of his lamp ot Hie best ulass, unanealed and thin enough tobe elastic, and, therefore, stronger lor the purists? oi a lamp than if it were thick alass. This can not he bettered. Ouly U:cj thai. weie badly un.de are hrofceii the tronbtu with the inuer bulb in Ha relation to ihe wires that pierce it.

Now by aunellng tn's glass that composfs the inner r.uio, be la-liev.-s tnat the bitakage will lallto-iper cent. "Hang it," ho says, iu his quick way, "If they would only break right away I could hurry up experiments, but tiifty don't, bnl ome of them crack in 21 P. ours, lime in io weeks, and others havo been burning four weeks aad have, not r-rackdd yet.
