franklin, one in Lincoln and one in Wash
ington. This makes ret change of sixteen
in the Senate In the House they counted
out seventeen Republicans and counted in
seventeen Fusion candidates in the following
districts: Durham, Haynesville, Sherman,
Newcastle, Pennington, New Sharon, Viii
ton, Gouldsboro, Norway, Exeter, Lebanon,
SkowheGan, Smithficld, Princctown. Cherry
field Perry and Searsport. The House as
elected gave twenty majority TO the Re
publicans. The House as counted gives sew
enteen majority to the IFusonists, making a
net change of forty-slx. By the election re-
turns, the Republicans had a majority OF
thirty-six on joint ballot; as counted by the
Governor and Council. the Fusionists have n
majority of twclty-six on joint ballot. The
Governor and Council thus made a net
change Of sixty-two in the two branches.
There is no instance either in the Senate or
House where they counted out Fusonisis
and counted in Republicans, or where they
declared the FusiouiSt not elected who was
reported chosen on the morning after cleo
ton. The refusal of access to the returns to
the Republicans renders it difficult TO dis
cover the cause of rejection in all cases.
In four cities, as set forth in a
letter addressed TO the Republican
advisory committee by James Wake
field, the printing of the blanks upon which
to send the returns was different from that of
the previous year, and was intended as
snare TO bring about the present condition OF
affairs. The five Representatives of Port
land are thrown out because the word scat
tering'' was used in the returns from single
ward 10 cover few votes, and was thus en-
bodied in the return. The frivolous charac-
ter of this objection can be appreciated from
the fact that the scattering votes, If added
entire to any name on the list, could not
change any result.
The Schohegan Republican ballot had the
names printed in two columns instead of
one, and for this 49, votes were thrown out.
In Pennington district the entire vote of
Pennington was thrown out because the to-
tai vote was iEaccurately stated by adding.
The town gave the Republican candidate
list by one majority.
