THE FUsIoNIsTs.
The committee appointed by tho Fusion
legislature to consider whether that body is
legal organization, has had no meetings,
most OF the members having gone home to
spend the Sabbath. A prominent member
of the committee says that while they
might disagree with the court il regard to
the findings and legal points, that Is all it
would amount to. Tho court wouid brand
all acts of the Fusion Legislature as illegal,
and its decision would be final on all points,
and that the Legislature would have no
standing, according TO the decision of the
court. A prominent lawyer on the commit
les says he is in favor OF making a verbal
report, and will not place himself on record
against the court.
The Standard, Democratic paper here,
will give a long expression of law from q
standpoint taking strong grounds against the
decision OF the court, and claiming that the
legislature is legally organized, and If de-
MED access to the State house has clearly the
right to meet and hold its session elsewhere.
Five members of the executive council are
here aud the other two will be on the ground
tomorrow.
GOSSIP AND SPECULATION.
There is considerable opposition to allow
the Fusion legislature to meet in the State
house tomorrow afternoon. The Republi-
cans claim it would be quasi endorsement
of the body as the legal Legislature, while
Others are willing to permit them to meet as
political caucus. No definite programme
has as yet been devised.
at midnight all was quiet at the State
house and in the CITY. The Fusionists are
very busy this evening, and thousand and
one rumors in the air, but not the least trouble
is anticipated on the morrow. 1t is antici
pated the Fusionists will all come in and
participate in tho legal legislature Tuesday
The Republicans talk of having grand jol
LITIGATION meeting at Granite hal! tomorrow
evening.
