THE KELLOGG.SPOFFORD CASE,
Decision of the Committee.

WAsnINGToN, December l6. The Senate
committee of Privileges and Elections which
has investigated the Kellogg Spofford con-
tested election case, has decided to declare
that neither was legally elected. The inves-
tigation showed clearly that Spofford was not
legally elected. and also showed that he was
guilty of bribery. making it impractical to
give him his seat. The charges of bribery
against Kellogg proved to be false, and under
fair treatment Kellogg should be allowed to
retain his seat The Senate of the United
States has already declared Kellogg the law
full Senator, and there is no way of going
behind this declaration except on principles
that will render it impossible to procure sta
bility in the upper branch of Congress. But
Kellogg's seat is needed to perpetuate DEM
ocratic majority in the Senate, and it is quite
likely that the report that the seat will be de-
clared vacant will prove true. With such a
precedent the seat of every member of the
Senate is made insecure aud placed at the
mercy of the party which happens to be in
the majority and sees fit to trump up charges
against him.

Prominent Democrats Disap
prove the Action.
Opinion Of Hon. william l.
Putnam, Esq.
He DenOunces the Proceeding
i'm Strong Terms.
Calls on All Citizens to Unite to
Crush the Coalition.

| PORTLAND, December l6. In an interview
with the Press reporter to-day, Hon. William
| l.. Putnam, a prominent democrat, ex-Mayor
of the city, and one of the ablest lawyers in
the State, dictated the following opinion on
| the contingent business; ''If the morning
papers to-day correctly reported matters, the
| Governor and Council have acted neither ac-
| cording to law nor justice. The clear course
| for them to have pursued was to refer all
| questions of law of novel character, to the
Supreme Court as provided for by the State
constitution. The Supreme Court has al
ways been non-partisan on these questions,
from the beginning of the State government
to the present day, which non partizanship
has been expressly shown in the late manda-
mus hearing by Judge Virgin, who with two
exceptions is the newest conner from the re-
publican party upon the bench. If from not
consulting the Supreme Bench it results that
the Governor and Council have made serious
mistakes, the democratic party throughout
the country must bear the blame, although
the Governor and Council in no sense repre-
sents the democratic party, as a majority of
the Council consists Of men who never voted
the democratic ticket. If the action of the
Governor and Council has been correctly re-
ported, it is the duty of every citizen in the
State of Maine, whatever his position on ma
tional matters, who desires henceforth fair
dealing in the matter of elections, tC unite
with the republican party in Maine, for the
purpose of crushing out this coalition which
now controls the State government"
Hon. l.. ID. NJ. Sweat, democrat. ex-mem-
Der of Congress, thought it a mean thing to
take away Portland's representation, when it
was evident who had been elected. He was
not prepared to speak as to the legality or il
legality of the proceedings in general.
Charles L. SWEET ex-dem councilman and
member of the city committee, expressed the
opinion that four at least of the republican
candidates for representatives, in Portland,
had been fairly elected, and the Withholding
of their certificates would operate very inju-
riously to the democratic party. He did not
believe there had been any more corruption,
bribery, or fraud on one side than on the
other.
Edmund Dana, chairman of the democratic
State committee, was not prepared to give
any opinion. He thought, however, the re-
publcans could not complain if they were
counted out on technicalities, as they had
furnished plenty of precedents.

a statement from Col Kemble, the officer
who moved the Ponca Indians from Nebraska
to the Indian Territory. 1t refutes the story
told by Standing Bear aud his friends, now

shows from official papers that the Ponca
chiefs surrendered their lands before they
visited the Indian Territory, but afterwards
broke faith with the government and refused
to go into the Territory, and finally ran away
from him instead of being deserted by the
officers in charge, as represented by them.
1t also shows that their removal was after

tary of the Interior, but that no force or
