CONCLUSION or THE FUsIoNIsTs.
| A member of the committee appointed by
the Fusion legislature to consider whether
that body is a legal organization, says that
whilo thoy might disagree with the court in
regard to its findings and the legal points, that
is all il would amount to. The court would
decide all acts of the Fusion legislature illegal,
and its decision would be final on all points,
and that the legislature would have no stand.
ing according to the decision of the court.
A prominent lawyer on the committee says
he Is In favor of making verbal report, and
will not place himself on record against the
court.
The Standard Democratic paper here, will
give u long exposition of the law from its
standpoint taking strong grounds against the
decision of the court and claiming that the
legislature Is legally organized and if denied
access to the State-house, has clearly the right
| to meet and hold Its sessions elsewhere. Five
members of the Executive Council are here,
and the other two will be on the ground to
morrow.
General Chamberlain will 20 to Brunswick
tomorrow, the duties of his office boing per-
formed by his Chief of staff General John
Marshall Brown. Mr.. Sawyer, Secretary of
State, gives his reasons for not admitting tn e
| Republicans to the Office of the secretary rs
that, as advised, he could not recognize them
as a committee from II legal legislature There
is considerable opposition to allowing the Fu-
sion legislature to meet in tho State.house to-
morrow afternoon. The Republicans claim
that it would be II quasi Endorsement of the
body as the legal legislature, while others are
willing to permit them to moot us II political
caucus. No definite plan has as yet been de-
vsod.
