The Republican Lssisl.turs Elects Corporal
Davis.-Gov. Smith and the Fusion
lists Determined.
Saturday afternoon was an exciting one
lican ''Legislature'' net, the hall of the
House of Representatives was packed, the
entrance of Blaine, Morrill, and Hale being
greeted with enthusiasm. The Republican
members were all present with few eXcep-
tions. Messrs. Knowles, of Bradford, and
Temple, of Eddington, Fusion members,
came in and took the seats they had Occu-
pied in the Fusion House, and were greet
ed with applause. Mr.. Knowles was ap-
pointed on the committee on gubernatOrlai
vote, but declined to serve.
The committee on the gubernatorial vote
reported as follows Whole number of
votes cast, 13S, SO6. Necessary to a choice,
60, 404. Daniel F. Davis received 6S ,967,
Joseph L. Smith received 47,G73, AlOnzO
Garcelon received 81 ,S51, Bion Bradbury
received 264. The House then proceeded
to the selection of two names to be sent to
the Senate, the whole roll being called,
and each member, as his name was called,
came forward and deposited his ballot.
AS Sproule, of Veazie, who had deserted
the FusiOnists, came forward, there was
tremendous applause. He voted for Dan
iel F. Davis.
Thercsult of the balloting was as follows:
Whole number of vote, SO. Daniel f.
Davis received SO Bion Bradbury received
names of Daniel F. Davis and 3. Bredbury
were sent to the Senate That body was
crowded as it has not been yet during the
| ho n w n 70
Governor 10 votes were thrown, all Of
them for Davis, who was declared by the
President to be the legally chosen Cover
nor of the State. Several Fusion members
were present, but none of them in their
seats and none participating.
The two houses then met i'll joint con-
ventiOn and seven executive councillors, all
Republicans were chosen. At G.45 p. NJ,
another convention was held for the inau-
guration of Mr.. Davis. An immense
audience was present and tremendous
enthusiasm manifested. Davis took the
oath of Office, and delivered Il brief ad-
DRESS at the conclusion Of which he
took possession of the executive chamber
without any interference. The only Obsta-
Gle placed in the way by the fusionists dur
ing the day was the refusal of the deputy
secretary of State to give up the guberna-
torial returns, but certified copies of the
clerks returns were substituted. At 1.40
p. m., both branches of the legislature adj
journed until Monday at II o'clock a. III.
Mr.. Davis last evening officially notified
Gen. Chamberlain of the formers election
as governor and the latter at once replied
turning over the militia organizations to
the command of Mr.. Davis. Gen. Cham
berlain then notified the militia that the

and that all orders from Mr.. Davis shall be
Obeyed.
Speaker Talbot of the Fusion House
says: "The Fusion Legislature will as
semblc at the station house at four o'clock
on Monday when the report of the COM
mittee on the future course of the legisla-
ture will be presented" Mr.. Talbot states
that some of the committeeman are
in favor of asking for recognition at once
by Congress. He further says that moth
ing would better suit the Fusion Legisla.
lature than to be refused the use of the
Legislative hall. In such an event no re-
siStance would be offered, but that the
Legislature would quietly disperse and
abide the decision of events.
Fusion Secretary of State Sawyer has
issued an address to the people of Maine
reciting the proceedings of the Republi-
cans and their employment of force and
skeleton keys in securing possession of the
state house. Sawyer having been waited
on by Davis, and formally called on to de-
liver up the keys of the safes and all dOcu-
ments in his possession, refused point
blank, whereupon the Republicans broke
into the Office and found, to their great
surprise, that Gov. Smith had taken away
the state seal, and that the returns of leg
| ,1n Ia D.,
manifesto proceeds:
"As secretary of state and responsible for
the safe keeping of it's archives, protest
ed against this outrage, and solcmnly
protest in the name of liberty, law and
order, and present the case to the people
in order that they may in some degree un-
derstand the true condition of affairs, and
inaugurate prompt measures for the vindi-
cation of their rights and the support of
the duly and legally constituted authOri-
ties. Let no one sleep while insurrection
and treason triumph. Let the issue DO
clearly defined. The laws of the state
have been violated the constitution has
been trampled upon fraud and violence
have been resorted to ; the partisan opinion
of the members of the court upon an as
sumed statement of facts has been pro-
claimed as a judicial decision, and the gov
ernment of the people is threatened with
destruction. 1t is another leaf in the his
tory of the warfare of wealth against
} labor, and unless sternly resisted and de-
feated will seal the doom of liberty-lov-
ing people, until, ceasing to forbear longer,
they will De compelled to purify and re-
generate their free institutions by bap-
tism of bloOd.''
Considerable apprehensioIs of collision
are manifested, and no little anxiety is felt
last :.bloodshed may ensue. Acting Assist
ant Adjutant General Folsom, appointed
by Gov. GarcelOn, was called out of bed
early yesterday morning and was ordered
by Davis to return to Bangor and report
to Lieut-Col. White of the First regiment,
of which Folsom is ma jor. Folsom refused
to obey the order on the ground that it
came from a person whose authority in
the premises is seriously questioned. Davis
contemplates removing all the Fusion
officers and appointing Republicans in
their places at once. His orders will prob
ably not be Obeycd.
Blaine is reported to have said at his
scrcnade that the Republicans would have
their rights or would fight for them, and
he was loudly applauded. The Fusionists
do not talk fight, but are determined to
use every fair and honorable means to
maintain their legal position to the last.
