The Situation.

Though Smith, the Fusion candidate for
Governor, prefers to cling to his pretensions
and provoke lawlessness rather than go
home to Bangor and be laughed at, most of
the members of the runp Legislature feel
more like submission to the verdict of the
people as given at the polls and affirmed by
the Courts Some wish to go home at once,
some to adjourn to next May, some to take
seats in the legal Legislature. Few contem-
plate resistance. The more desperate of
the Fusion leaders, who have not only po-
litical but personal and pecaniary fortunes
at stake, and have everything to gain by
turmoil and disorder, eagerly encourage re-
sistance But the rank and file have no
need to resort to desperate ways and arc
governed by wholesome regard for law.
Their interest lies in peace, not in disquiet.
For brief time they may listen to and even
countenance violent coupsels; but as their
sense of anger and disappointment wears
away their prudence and respect for order
will govern them once more.
The people generally will bow to the
opinion of the Court. Its decisions have al
ways been respected, and are as worthy of
that respect to-day as at any time in its his
tory. 1t is to be expected that all good citi-
zens, of whatever party, will hold its hands
up now

ing the Republicans. 1t says: ''The trouble

ment of the Fusion legislators from the seats
to which they were not elected There are
many things to be said against the conduct
of the Republicans i'll this business, from
Mr.. Blaine down to the street preachers and
back again to the judges. If saying these
things against he Republicans were saying
anything i'll favor of the Democrats, the
World would he glad to say them. As the
Republican misdeeds do not tend to justi-
fy the Fusionists, it is not fruitful to dwell
on them. 1t was clear from the first
what were the intentions of the voters. 1t
is only by enforcing that intention wherever
it is made clearly apparent, no matter which
party is helped or hurt by it, that Republi-
can government can be preserved"
The Portland daily press., 1880-01-21

SUBSEQUENT developments have demon
strated the wisdom of Gov. Davis action in
excluding the bogus legislature from the
State House. 1t would have been extreme
folly to have dignified and endorsed them
by letting them use the State apartments for
what they were pleased to call legislative
proceedings, especially as they were led by
J. L. Smith, who would have claimed with
equal right the possession of the executive
rooms Nobody who has any sense OF the
fitness of things, and will reflect for mo-
ment, can fail to see not only the wisdom
but the absolute necessity of the course
adopted by Gov. Davis.

The New York Tribune pays the follow

The New York Tribune pays the follow
ing tribute to Senator Blaine:
The affectionate enthusiasm with which the
Maine Republicans greeted Senator Blaine on
Saturday when he made his first public ap-
pearance in a considerable time, was a type OF
the admiration with which his recent course
must be regarded by the whole country. 1t is
a fact worthy of public attention that in this
whole Maine business Mr.. Blaine has exhibited
the very qualities which his enemies have al
WAYS declared he did not possess. The coun-
try has been repeatedly assured that he was a
brilliant debater, but poor counsellor; that
he was good man to stir up the masses on the
stump, but lacked the moderate Nand dullness)
necessary to statesman; that he was too radl-
cal, that he was reckless, that he lacked con-
servatism and caution. 1t will do no harm to
direct attention to the fact that moderation,
caution, conservatism, have been the most con-
spicuous features of the whole Republican
campaign in Maine, as carried through under
Mr.. Blaines leadership. He has kept cool in
place where almost any other man would
step, and his campaign for popular rights has
moved steadily forward with the precision OF
machinery, impressing the country at every
advance with the justice of the Republican
cause, and forcing his opponents steadily back
ward. 1t is not an exaggeration to say that his
leadership has combined the highest political
skill with the soundest Judgment in states
manship, This has been done too when pub
lie feeling was at white heat. A very little
spark would have kindled war in Maine. and
the fact that there has been no war is probably
due more to Mr.. Blaine than to any other
man.

The Outlook in Maine.

The proceedings taken by the Republicans
in Maine to secure a complete legal Govern
ment for the State, appear likely to be accepted
as conclusive by the Fusionists. The two col
lections of that party who call themselves-or
have hitherto called themselves-the Senate
and House Of Representatives of Maine, met
on Saturday in great tribulatfon OF mind, and
some of them in evident fear of bodily harm.
They discussed "the situation" vaguely, and
not without a touch of pathos. One member
of "the House ruefully called attention to the
fact that several of his colleagues who had ex-
pressed an intention of shedding their last drop
of blood in defense of their rights, were absent
from their seats. For his part he experienced
a longing for further light from the courts,
though it would seem that the luminous opinion
of the Supreme Judges addressed to the pre-
siding officers of the rival, and according to
the Judges, the real Legislature. ought to
have enlightened sufficiently even Fusionist
mind. Another member expressed the con-
viction that the opinion of the court embodied
"the inevitable" and that it was the part of
wise and brave men to submit to it.. Against
that court" he declared, ''we have no appeal
except to the people, Let us 60 back to them
The ballot box is still left to us; to that we
must appeal" This, however, is the last ap-
peal, in more senses than one, that the Fusion
ist legislators are likely to make. By their
stupid greed, endeavoring to grasp the power
which Garceon and his Council had tried to
steal; by their refusal to seek or accept the
Judgment of thescourt; by their reckless trick
cry in attempting illegally to organize House
and Senate without legal quorum, and TO
exclude lawful members until the executive
offices should have been filed with usurping
candidates; by everything which they have
done or failed to do since their meeting on the
7th of January, they have participated in the
crime of the late Governor, and rendered
themselves responsible for it before the people
Garcelon in his obscurty is safe from any pop
ular verdict at the ballot box, and We are
much mistaken if the Fusionist legislators will
not be glad to avoid any such ordeal. They
may seek tocover their retreat from false
position by the pretense that they intend to
carry their case before the people, but they
can hardly fail to realize that the people fully
appreciate the outrage that has been at
tempted, and will promptly punish any OF its

THE militia of the State have justified the
confidence reposed in them by the people.
Here in Portland, as elsewhere, the military
companies were prompt to recognize the
rightful Commander-in-chief. The Mont
gomery Guards displayed high sense of
military honor and great patriotism in the
course they pursued, amply vindicating
themselves from the foul aspersions east
upon them by Fusion moutn-pieces, who
assumed without warrant that they would
sacrifice soldierly discipline and good citi-
zenship to the demands of fierce and un-
scrupulous partisans.
The Portland daily press., 1880-01-21

The absurd idea of appealing to Congress
entertained by some of the Fusionists, meets
with little favor in Washington The Dem
ocratic Senator Wallace, chairman of the
special committee which recently investi-
gated the elections in Rhode Island and
Massachusetts,, was asked Monday night
whether there was any prospect of an inves-
tigation by Congress of the allegations OF
fraud and bribery in the late election in
Maine He said he did not see how the
election, having been purely State election
could be inquired into by Congress. 1t is
difficult to see to what other conclusion
State Rights Democrat can come.

THE BLACK LIST.

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in i'm
portant official positions, have deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who have sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who have not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but have smirched
the fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately are. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list will be hereafter appended the
names of such other men as shall take
offices to which they know they are not
elected, and who become equally guilty by
taking advantage of the vile conduct of
these malefactors:
