upon tne republican institutions has been |
great throughout the whole controversy, but
he could see no shade of arbitrary action in
employing the citizen soldery of the State to
protect the government recognized by the
Supreme court. When all the evidence of
the conspiracy is ready to be presented to the
public at large, it will be seen how wise this
action has been.
The Governor was grati!ied TO sec how uni
versal'y the press of the country of both
parties had upheld the right in Maine.
oelitlnelS were tonight placed outside of
the State House, aud the corridors are all
guarded. Col. White, of Bangor was to-
night telegraphed to guard the State arsenal
III that city. The presence of the military in
the State House somewhat eNcites the popu-
lace, who murmur at the military ana the
indications Of a movement to intimidate
ihe Republicans claim it was the presence of
the troops that brought the FusioniSts to their
senses and induced them to refer the case to
the Supreme court. About half of the force
is on duty at once. but the whole force could
be brought into line in a few moments. There
Is patrol about town watching for any sus-
piciOus movements, and trusty men are posted
in every town to give instant information in
case of any threatening demonstrations. The
military and executive are both in readiness
Tor any movement of the kind.
\ drummer who has Just been through the
State says he sold 200 revolvers and 80 rifles.

among certain class. Henry Ingalls,, Of
Wiscasset, Went 10 Bangor this afternoon tie
bearer of questions from the Fusion Ingisla-
tuse to Chief Justice Appleton.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The Democratic
members of the House committee on Wavs
and Means privately he'd an important c0n-
ference yesterday with view to determining
whether or not 4 general tariff bill should be
reported this session. The sentiment eX-
pressed was decidedly against framing any
comprehensive bill and there was consider
able disposition manifested IN favor ofmaking
some changes in existing tariff rates by means
of separating and leaving each charge, that
majority OF the committee may agree to rec
Ommcnd to take its chances in the House
| upon its individual merits. The adoption of
this plan will in large measure preclude the
log rolling combination which has heretofore
had great influence in tariff legislation and
will greatly diminish the number of possible
chances.
