BANGOR, Jan. 2S--6 A. M.-The reply OF
the Supreme Court to the questions sub
Mitted by the Fusionist Legislature refuses
to accept them as questions legally placed
before them by an authorized body, but
proceeds to give reasons why SUCH ques-
tons can not be entertained. It reiteiates
The opinion that Gov. Garcelon violated
the obligations of his Office b refusing to
accept the decision of the Court on the
questions submitted by him, and by not
fevoking the certificates issued according
to his view of the requirements OF the
election law. It states that the Fusion
Legislature unlawfully admitted men who
had been illegally certified, and refused
an appeal from the decision. There as
no quorum in the first Legislature. as men
we're counted who were not legally en-
titled to seats.
The Court then proceeds to consider
whether there is legal Legislature in ex-
istence, and concludes that the Republican
members were such, as they formed a ma
jOrity and had prima facie right to seats
In regard to the point that the Repub-
fcan legislature is illegal because no notice
was given to some members Of its organiza-
tiOn, the Court says the want Of such
notice does not invafidate its organization
All such departures from ordinary usage
was Compiils nv under the circu instances,
and the will of the people could not be
thwarted. b7# ~
The rest OF the answer is Of the same
tenor, and favorable IT, the Republicans.
