Specta1 Nspateh to The Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. e4.-Republicans
who are well informed as to the situation in
Maine are Of the opinion that the persistence
with which the Fusionists keep up the agita-
ton there shows that they are influenced by
Democrats in other States, and that the pres
ent agitationis caused for a purpose: Speak
ing on this subject to-day, Mr. Frye said: Al
do not apprehend that there will be any vio-
lence, nor do think there is any cause for
serious apprehension. think amid the ex-
element over the situation OF affairs conclu-
sions are jumped at, and that sober reflection
will convince all conservative men that there
is no actual danger"
The Greenback members from Maine, too,
say they do not fear any violence, and think
that even the dispatches sent by the Asso-
ciated Press are co1ored with sensatfonalism.
Ladd, the most conservative and calmest Of
the Greenbackers, recomends the adjourn
ment Of the Fusion Legislature, subject to
the call Of Gov. Smith, and thinks that the
Republicans would then compromise within
ninety days. Otherwise there would be
trouble in the collection of taxes.
Mr.. Ladd said: I" You see the present Leg
is1ature of Maine has to fix valuation on
the property of the State for the next decade.
Now, if the Fusionists keep their organiZa-
tion intact and adjourn in body there Will
lican Legisla ture to enforce any bill provide
ing for the collection Of taxes that they will
naturally seek to compromise existing differ
