Testimony The determination Of the Gov
ernor and Council to throw out Lisbon and
webster vas not shaken by the testimony of
the selectmen. Think Councillor Fogg incl
dentally raised the point about the record
not being made up in open town meeting.
In the tabulation of This class Of towns, the
name of Mr.. Thomas, the republican candi-
date, was originally written. but was subse-
quently scratched ont and the name of Leon

/ Other Cases.
| SIR. Baker stated that ne requested in
| courteous manner to be allowed TO examine
the returns from the Ashland district, where
John Bnrnham's name was written Bur
nam, - the ''h'' being omitted. This request
was refused.
While few of the councillors were going
through the farce of taking testimony in re-
lation to the returns, the Governor, Eben F.
Pillsbury, S. $. Brown and perhaps others, in
another room. were engaged in making up
certificates. At one time Mr.. Plllsbury was
called out of the Governors room and acted
as counsel for DIR. Bradbury of Norway, who
was contesting the scat of Mr.. Andrews, the
republican representative elect.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr.. Baker
had power of attorney in writing and under
seal for % representatives and IA senators, his
repeated applications after December 18th,
to examine the returns were ignored. Nor
could he ascertain the ground on which the
men were to be counted ont.
Albert F. Andrews,
representative from Norway, one of the
counte1-out members of the legislature, tes-
titled that he came to Augusta especially to see
the Governor and Council and to examine the
returns from his town; but he was repeated
ly refused an audience. While waiting for
an interview Alfred S. Kimball Of Waterford.
fusion candidate for county attorney. of Ok
ford county, came out of the council cham
Der, where he had been in consultation with
the Governor, and went up into the library.
Senator Harris,
of East Machias, testifed'that he had had a
somewhat similar experience, and was COM
PEELED to return home without seeing the re-
turns.
Yesterday morning summons was put in
to the hands of Sheriff Libby, for Henry NJ.
Pishon, clerk of the council on tabulation re-
turns, and an employee of the Secretary of
State last wear. The officer returned the
summons, with the statement that Pishon
was not to be found in his precinct. Pishon
has been employed as clerk in z. q. Wick
ery's publishing house, and last Thursday
morning went to Mr.. George Vickery. and
said that he wanted to 60 away for week or
two. There was no conversation as to where
he intended to go, and his present where
abouts are uncertain, although his wife
thinks that he is somewhere in Massachu-
sets.
