The petty meanness of the Council in re-
fusing to allow reporters of any papers but
those which are ready to apologize for and
even praise the theft,to see the report makes it
impossible for US to publish a full list of the
House this morning. In most of the cases
where representatives have been thrown out
the pretexts have already been made public.
Perhaps the most outrageous case is that of
Skowhegan where a Republican who had
nearly four hundred majority is thrown out
and his seat given to the opposition candidate
simply because the Republican ballots were |
printed in double columns. The case of the |
Exeter-G Garland District is scarcely less glazing.
The vote stood in Exeter, f. w. Hill, 900; G. |
S. HILL 146. In Garland, George S. Hill, 211; |
Francis w. Hill, 131. G. S. Hill and George |
S. Hill were the same person and the Republl- |
can candidate, and his vote in both towns was
357 F. W. Hill and Francis W. Hill were |
one and the same person, likewise the Dem
ocratic candidate, and his vote in both towns
WAS toO Iilo IeopuuliChh Saiuiu"eO he'u
majority of votes. But the Governor and
Council ignoring the law Of 1877, in order to
get the democrat into the Legislature; de-
clares there were four separate candidates
voted for and give the certificate to f. W.
Hill, who they say appears to be elected. The
conundrum is proposed how the Governor and
Council can get along with giving the certifi-
cate to F. w. Hill, while they declare that |
Francis w. Hill-the same person-is not |
elected.
At the earnest solicitation of Pillsbury $50 it
is sad) there we're no changes made in Ken
nebec county. Certificates will be issued to
the candidates who 'appear" to be elected by
the returns, according to somewhat neglect
ed provision of the constitution Of this state,
which has made its only appearance this sea-
