Garcelon and hold the State House. 1t
was notorious about town that these men
came TO this building and occupied II
every night. They drilled nightly with
arms brought from the Bangor Arsenal.
WHAT THE FusloSlsTs PROPOSE TO DO.
Some Of the Fusionists claim that 1t Is
the honest purpose and intention OF their
legislature 10 meet in August, and that
they will enter upon heavy campaign
work for the next election. They.will en-.
deavor to have two returns Of the con.
gressional vote. one to be sent to them and
the other to the legislature recognized by
the courts, and that they will make up q
case to Congress concerning the electoral
vote. The Republicans and quite mum,
Der OF the Fusionists say that the Fusion
legislature will never again meet, as will
be shown tomorrow by the members
taking their seats in the regular legisla-
ture, that the course pursued was an indi.
rect method OF 'dissolving. II the mem.
bers go home they will soon be returned
by their constituents 10 look out for the
important interests coming before the
legislature this session.
The Legislature will declare vacant all
the seats now filled, and new elections
will be ordered.
The Fusionist Secretary OF State, Saw.
yer, promises to return the valuable |
books to the office Of the Secretary OF
State, and it is thought he will not claim
to be Secretary any longer.
State Treasurer White was unable TO be
here to-day, but telegraphed TO the Fl.
nance Committee that he would read the
opinion and meet them tomorrow. his
only desire having been to secure himself
and bondsmen against loss. The opinion
prevails that he will freely give up the
keys and property TO the Office as soon as
his successor Is qualified.
Only one company OF militia is now at
the State. House, and that will soon be re.
lieyed from duty. II is the opinion on all
sides that the contest has now ended and
the excitement closed.
