counted-out members, and the grounds upon
which they were counted out. Locke claimed
that certificates issued by the Governor and
Council to those not chosen were not legal,
and acts passed by such a body would
not be recognized by the Courts or obeyed
by the people. Barker and Strickland re-
piled, claiming that to all intents and purposes
this is legal Legislature, the members hold
ing certificates from the Governor and Council.
They meant, as honorable gentlemen, to do the
fair thing when the investigation should take
place before the proper committee of the Legis-
lature.
A joint Convention was formed and in pres
ence of the Secretary of State and several men,
bers of the Council, John D. Lamson took the
oath and was proclaimed acting Governor Of
the State.
Chamberlain, Major General, refuses to re-
cognize Lamson. The Democrats held the
Legislature through the day, and at night the
Republicans captured the State House for the
purpose of organizing the Legislature to-mor-
row morning.
