Very little of the work of the legisla ture la ns yet mapped out. The Re publicans will pursue a conservative course, with a view to strengthening themselves for the contest next fall, when a governor is to be elected nnd a legislature to be chosen, which will se lect a United States senator to succeed James Smith, Jr. The Democrats, on the other hand, purpose being aggres sive, and will endeavor to take ad vantage of any blunders the Republi cans may make. Governor Griggs will submit his last annual message to the legislature, and as soon as he is appointed and con firmed as attorney general of the Uni ted States will resign, and the acting governorship will devolve upon Senator Foster M.
