Fatally Defective"

II we can believe the fusion press In
this State. the Governor and Council have
fully determined 70 disfranchise over l6..
600 voters by refusing 10 issue certificates
TO their tfteen representatives. These are
from seven OF the most populoos cities In
the State and are thrown out on technica
errors that have never before been re-
garded as fatally defective" aud are so
now only by usurpation OF the Judicial by
the Executive branch Of the Government
The list OF cities whose votes are 10 be
thrown out comprises the following:
Portland, 5 Representatives. on the
ground that some lao votes were returned
scattering"
Augusta, ? Representatives. because the
Clerk stated the whole number OF votes
instead OF the whole number Of ballots.
Lewiston. 5 Representatives.; Bath !;
Rockland 2; Saco /: Hsllowell !; each on
the ground that the returos are signed by
less than . majority OF the Aldermen.
The respect for fusion tactics will be
greatly increased, no doubt. In these cities,
If this high handed scheme is carried out.
Not later than Wednesday, the certificates
will have 10 be issued and We shall then
know how far the partisan spirit has car
RED these plotiers toward subyer,ing the
will OF the people.

The Fraud Consummated,


Dispatches from Augusta TO Boston
papers state that count has been made
by the Governor and Council OF the cleo
ton returns which results in giving certi-
ficates to sufficient number OF Democrats
Ia both branches of the legislature to give
them . majority In each. The Adrertisers
special from Augusta says: The Repub-
liean majority In both branches of the Leg
islature has been counted out.
Republican members have been counted
down from % to IS and Democratic mem
bers counted up from 81 to IS" I, Is
claimed that this was done on technicali-
ties and iuformal,ies In the returns. The
Senate, under the count. will have . Dem
ocratic majority of Q, there being under
the count 20 Democratic Senators and ii
Republican Senators.
The Governor and Council count out
three Senators from Cumberland. one each
from York, Lincoln and Washington AID
two from Androscoggin. The Democrats
will have a majority large enough for =
quorum In the absence OF all Republican
members. They have thrown out the Re
publican Representatives from Portland.

Judge Virgins Decision.

In another column will be fonnd. in full,
the decision OF Judge Virgin on granting
writ Of msndamus against the Secretary OF
State to compel him to exhibit, the election
returns.
While the petition is disp isked and the
writ denied. the decision clearly afirms
the right that interested parties have clsin-
ed Of examining the returns after they
have been officially declared open. This
right the republicans elected to the Legis-
laiure and their attorneys have until
within a few days, been denied BY the
Governor and his Council. Whether they
are now open to inspection because OF the
ovcrpowering public sentiment favoripg IL,
or because the fnslopists have had time TO
correct their own blunderk in towns Civ
Ing them q msjsrity, remains TO be seen
after the certificates have been issued. II
appears 70 be q well authenticated fact
that corrected returns from such towns
have been sent in. within q recent date,
and purpor,ing to have been signed. cerr!-
fled and sealed ia open town meeting.
Whether these will be given the place OF
the original returns, will also be known In
q few days.
While Judge Virgins decision sustalns
the opinion Of republicans as to the right
TO see the returns and that the Secretary
Of State Is the legal custodian Of them, it
affirms the right OF the Governor and
Council to have sufficient possession OF
them TO perform their Official duties 10 re-
gard TO the count. This right has never
been Questioned by republicans.
The decision further declares that the
Governor and Council are a coordinate
branch OF the State government and a.
such the Court has no jurisdiction owe, 1t.
The length Of time that they shall hold
possession Of the fetarns for the purpose
Of making the CONT mnst depend or their
assertion Is TO the time required whether
that assertion be true or false. II Vas
presumed that the Executive branch of the
government would be composed Of men OF
soch integrity As would insure the rish, o!
every citizen under IL.
The remedy. which IL only limited st,
win be fossd when the people again come
together to elect m Executive. Nowhe
In the decision can be found the slightest
trsee OF partnership. 10 this respect !,
Chords . striking contrast to The acts oil
the Governor and Council.
