Playing Rules, the effect OF which was to Danish

contesting clubs and the officers Of the law, the
Boston Club has been in state Of high excite

the League meeting, the CIT was at once raised
by the Boston delegates that it was piece OF
personal legislation aimed directly and solely at
Harry Wright, whose presence among the play
et6 during the progress OF game was claimed
TO be an advantage to the Boston Club which
that organization fully appreciated. and which
II was very loath to reiinqulsn. But, in spite Of
thls protest, the amendment was passed, Boston,
chicago, and Syracuse voting in the negative.
NOT long alter this the stockholders of the Bos-
ton Club held their annual meeting, and at that
meeting series Of resolutions was presented,

His Declaration Of the Course he would
Pursue.

BosToN, December 90. Washington
special to the Journal says President Hayes
in conversation with Representative Williams
of Wis, this morning expressed himself de-
cidedly on the Maine situation. He said that
the Maine business was no. going to succeed.
If he were one Of the republican members of
the legislature he would sit there until Sep
TENDER, and use every device known to par
liamentary law for the protection of the man.
ufactured minority. All other business should
be suspended until wrong was righted. He
would not resort to force, but he would en-
deavor to bring to bear upon these gentlemen
such weight of public opinion that they could
not escape or resist. They should be thwart-
ed in their revolutionary purpose until they
were made to feel the will of the majority,
when properly and legally expressed, must
control. He expressed the opinion that good
people of all parties, as facts become known,
would emphatically condemn the outrage.

their rights. Let us support them firmly and
manfully. letting this not be matter Of
/ day but persevering until our rights are fal-
y and completely restored.
Hon. Geo. +. Talbot next spoke. Mr..
Talbot who was formerly a republican and
L.. S. district attorney, said he had not voted
the republican ticket, but his indignation had
| induced him to come here tonight an: de-
nounee the great political crime and outrage.
He dwelt particularly upon the disfranchise-
ment Of Portland. He thought the propo-
sition to let our representatives in after the
great acts of session was transacted was
mockery. He thought there was no prece-
dent for excluding the Portland representa-
tives. Years ago the scrutiny now given to
the Governor and Council was formerly ex-
ercised by the aldermen and selectmcn, but
the law was changed when the right to bal
lot was given to soldiers. 1t was entrusted
to the Governor and Council because il was
not conceived possible that such officers
could ever be chosen unworthy of trust. The
candidates Mr.. Talbot had voted for were not
elected, and he would not soil the record Of
an honorable life by accepting fraud done for
his benefit. tremendous applause.) He
had no confidence in the mandamus. Besides
representatives have their certificates in their
pockets, and will appear in Augusta before
the mandamns can reach them. You cannot

this wrong righted in way which may lead
to violence in carrying it out. This 10 an
excellent campaign grievance for you repub-
licans, and will do you yeoman service next
year. 1t is of no use to get your representa-
tives admitted towards the end of the session.
You had better keep it until next year and
then use it. He was too young democratic
fledgling to give advice, but if he were per-
mitted to advise he would recommend that
the representatives elected and non-elected
to meet at Augusta and hold sessions day and
night. doing noting but settle these contested
cases, and that honestly, and let others step
down and out.

ceived with applause, and denounced the re-

| A Clear Case for Correction by the Gov
ernor and Council Ina the Count-Nfl
They DO II!
Hon. Llewellyn Powers had an interview
yesterday, with the Governor and Council, il
| regard to the contingent Of John Burnham
in the county of Aroostook, and the counting
in of Alfred Cushman, He asks to have thu
decision changed and the summons recalled
The ground on which the Council made
their decision was that in the return from the
town of Ashland the name was spelled Bur
nam-the silent letter ''h' being omitted
and the Council declared that the vote so Civ
en- would not be counted for Burnham.
Mr.. Powers contended that the two names
iden sondnS, were to be treated the same
and that even in trial for murder prisoner
named Bur nham could be convicted ant
hanged, though his name were spelled Bur
nam in the Indictment. Several decisions OF
the Supreme Court of Maine sustain this
view.
Mr.. Powers then called the attention of the
Council to the fact that in the adjacent plan
tation in the same district, Mr.. Cuslman's
christian name was given in the return rs Al
ford, instead of Alfred, differing in orthogra-
ply and in sound, and not in fact the same
name. Mr.. Powers then proved to the Gov
ernor and Council that if both votes were
counted or both rejected, Burnham would be
elected, and he insisted to the Council that il
John Burnham were counted as a different
man from John Burnam, then Afford Cush.
man should be counted as a different man
from Alfred Cushman. Mr.. Powers insisted
on both or neither being counted.
Gov. Garcelon admitted that Mr.. Powers
argument was unanswerable-said he had
never before known the facts in the case, and
said justice required that Cushman's sum-
mons should be recalled and the seat given to
Burnham.
Mr.. Powers showed him precedent where
this had been done, where mistake had been
made as in this instance. Hon. S. S. Brown
of the Council agreed with the Governor
and said it was an error to have counted out
Burnham. Councillor Fogg differed from
the Governor and Mr.. Brown, and violently
denounced any attempt to correct an error.
He said the count must stand as declared, no
matter how many mistakes or errors should
be proved.
Mr.. Powers believes that Governor Garce-
Ion will not permit the matter to remain as il
is, but will take measures to have SO obvious
a wrong corrected.
