The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1879-12-20
WASHINGTON, Dec. ID.

Mr.. d. Palmer, editor of the Bos-
ton Globe, tonight telegraphed Mr..
E. H. Luther, his Washington cor
respondent. as follows:
maine has probably gone Fusion.
The Republicans defeated.
This means that the canvass of the
certificates made by the Governor
and the Council in accordance with
the Constitution and laws of Maine
has resulted in giving the Fusionists
a majority in both branches of the
Legislature. This will insure the
election by the Legislature of either
the Democratic Gubernatorial can
didate, Gov. Garcelon, or the Green
back candidate, Smith, probably of
the latter. 1t was understood on the
part of the Democratic and Green
back leaders during the last cam
paign that if they succeeded in car
rying a majority of the Legislature
by fusion, the Greenbackers should
have the Governor this year, and in
return therefor they would give the
Democrats the United States Sena-
torship next year if they succeed in
in carrying the Legislature again.
Another important result will be that
the legislature will have the power,
as it will undoubtedly have the dis
position, to make thorough inves-
LEGATION of the charges which have
been made-that the Republicans
sought to carry the State and Legis-
lature by fraud, bribery and intimi-
dation in many Of the legislative dis
tricts.

The Cincinnati Gazette and the
Commercial, of the. same city, are
vigorous opponents of the Grant
movement, though both are Repub-
lican papers. The former will shortly
begin the publication of series of
interviews with prominent Repub-
licans, leading off with Secretary
Schurz and ex-Secretary Bristow.
The seriea will be run until after the
conventions. The project is said to
have originated with Secretary Sher-

1t is stated that the Supreme Court
is about ready to announce a decis-
ion as to the constitntionality of the
Federal election laws, and nothing
bearing upon them will be taken up
in Congress until this is known. The
Court is at present divided, but if. as
reported, Justice Hunt has resigned
and Mr.. Hayes has appointed Senator
Edmunds to his place, the Legislation
of the Republicans will likely be sus-
tanned The Senate should not con-
firm this appointment, il the report is
true. We do not see how Demo
cratic Senate could permit snch an
intense partisan to be seated on the
Supreme bench, notwithstanding his
ability.

The rapidity with which railroad
building is going on in this country
is indicated by the fact that so far
this year $3.50 miles of new track
has been laid, which is more than
fifty per cent in excess of the amount
for any year since 1873, when the
Pacific Railroads were completed.

DON pIArrs BRUISED HEAD.

Washington, Feb. 27.-rhe rencontre be-
tween Billy McGarrahan and Don P,a,t in
the senate corridor last night is the talk Of
the town to day, and there il hut one opin-
ion, that Pistt deserved the punishment he
got. McGArrshan, single aud alone, has
been for qnar'er of q century fighting one
Of the wealthiest and mort powerful corpo
rations in America. During the greater
part Of that time he has not had dollar Of
his own money to spend. the funds prosecu.
Ting hi. case having been furnished by per-
sons who believe his claim Just one. EN-.
inent lawyers have volunteered their servi-
ces to McGarrahan for weeks at time, but
ability aud justice has never been able to
overcome the influence of money. All
McGarrahan = ks Of congress is the privi-
liee Of having the courts decide whether
his claim against the New Idria company is
a just one. For years the New Idris COM
many has paid Don Piatt an annual salary
for abusing and usl,gning poor McGarrahan
with the Wit aud force for which Piatt is
famous, aud there has been no issue of the
Capitol for several years in which McGar-
rahsn has not been maiigned. When Plat,
10 sued for libel he crawls out under the ex.
cuse that Re has no property, SO McGarra.
han last night took the Law into bis own
hands, and gave Pistt drubbing that will
lay him up for several daya. In an inter.
view with the reporter Of local paper
Piatt had the candor 10 admit that McGar.
rshan was justified 10 the attack.
