MAINE ELECTION TROUBLES

AUGUSTA, Jan. 29.-The Fusion legis-
lature, after prolonged secret session this
morning, adjourned to meet the first Wednes-
| day in August next Many of the members
will 90 home not to return here before that
date. Others will go back to the people OF
their districts to abide by their decision as to
Joining or remaining out OF the State House
legislature. Others will take their seats among
! their Republican brethren. The counted-in
| members will, some of them, 60 home. while
Others will contest the seats of their rivals for
| the sake of getting the pay usually allowed
| defeated contestants. Two Frsionists, to-day,
| appeared in the Republican house, and nu-
merOus others have expressed the intention to
follow them. Fusionist Gov. Smith and Tai
bot, speaker of the Fusion house, will leave for
and Richardson's light infantry marched out
| of the State House this morning, Hill, of
| Corink, and Milikin, of Burnham took their
! seats in the Republican house. The New Era, a
Greenback organ, submits to the decision OF
the supreme court and appeals to the people,
1t also calls upon the press to publish its de-
claration of the principles to Brick Pomeroy
leagues. The Republicans and quite num-
berI Fusionis,s say that the Fusion legisla-
ture will never meetagain, as will be shown
to- m orrow by members taking their seats in
the regular legislature, that the course pur-
| sued was an indirect method of dissolying,
and that if the members 90 home they will
soon be returned by their constituents to look
out for important interests coming before the
legislature this session. The legislature
will declare all seats that are not
now filled vacant, and new elections will
be ordered. The Fusionist secretary Of
state, Sawyer promises to return the valua-
ton books to office of secretary Of state, and
it is thought he will not claim to be secretary
| any longer. State Treasurer White was I'M
able to be here to day, but telegraphed the
finance committee that he would read the
opinion and meet them tomorrow, his only
desire having been to secure himself and
bondsmen against loss. The opinion prevails
that he will freely give up the keys ana prop
erty of the Office as soon as his successor is
now at the State house, and that will soon be
| relieved from duty. It is the opinion on all
sides that the contest has now ended and ex-
oitamnDt cIOsn6 -a..,st
