To the Editor Of the Keanebec Journal:
In your issue of this morning you stated in
substance that we were present and partici-
pated in the proceedings Of the Republican
legislature, at the State House. yesterday.
You are mistaken. We have not attempted
TO enter the State House since repulsed from
it bv force, on Monday, and have no purpose
to do so, as we do not consider the so called
legislature in session there As a constitutional
body.

The statement which appeared in our paper
was supposed to be correct, but we very
chcerfuly publish the counter statement
above. As to the question of the consttu-
tionaity of the legislature at the State
House, these gentlemen must settle that
with the Supreme Court. They seem to
think themselves better authority than the
court.
At the Republican Caucus this fornoon.
Mr. WiIloughby of RocklaRd announced that
Mr. Fogler declined the nomination as state
treasurer. Not in the interest of any other
particular man, not because he feels himself
incompetent to fill the position, but because
he feels it to be for the interest of the party
to have an older and more experienced finan-
cier than himself.
Mr. A. A. Strort of Portland. introduced
the following resolution. Supplemental. it
with remarks very complimentary to Mr..
Foglcr. Mr.. Hale followed in the same line.
WHEREAS, John W Fogler after receiving
the unanimous nomination of the Legislative
caucus tor the office of Treasurer for the
State of Maine. recognizing that under the
peculiar condition of Affairs III this State II
is fitting that II man uf maturcr age and wider
financial experience. should be placed at the
head of the financial department of this State.
has declined to accept the nomination tend
cred 10 him. notwithstanding that men nf the
highest financial ability have voluntarily Of
fered to furnish much larger and stronger
bond than is usually required, and the MEM
bers of this caucus have siynifod their readi-
ness to elect him to the Office to which he has
been nominated. Therefore.
RESOLVED. That we recognize the I'M
doubted ability and integrity of Mr.. Fogler
and his selfsacritcing patriotism evinced by
this act, by which he places the public inter
ests above all private claim, and that we ten
der our thanks to him for his manly and patri-
otto course in this matter toward the people OF
this State and the party of which he is
