Augusta, Jan. 19.-Eot!i houses o
the republican legislature assembled a
1880, and after the usual routine o
business, appointed Mr.. Sprague stat,
printer. The oath of Office was ther
administered to counsellors-elect Robie

ton.
The fusionists will meet at the Coney

to going to the state house.
The republican legislature, in joint
convention, unanimously elected Henry
B. Cleves, of Portland, attorney gen.
eral, the total vote being 105. Gen.
George s. Beales, of Portland, was
elected adjutant general, receiving 81
votes to for Gallagher. The legisla-
ture adjourned at one O'Clock to ten
tomorrow.
A special from Biddeford says the
Biddeford light infantry received or
ders early this morning to be in readi-
ness to go to Augusta ut a moments
notice. Fifty men have volunteered to
join the company if allowed. THIS or
der has greatly augmented the interest
and excitement here.
Augusta, Jan. 19.-Ata fusion meet
ing in front of the Augusta house, Jas.
ID. Lamson made brief address, re-
lating his grievances. He said he was
unable tn gain admission to the state
house, though he had us much right
there us any other citizen. lie was
glad to see the crowd SO civil and cir
cumspect.
John c. Talbot, speaker of the house,
made brief speech in the same vein.
Darius Alden, of Augusta, also made
few remarks.
While there were quite number of
ugly talking fusionists in the crowd,
most of them were good natured, and
joked about the position of affairs. No
threats were made, but the republicans
were given to understand in many ways
that this would be used against them in
the next campaign. The crowd then
quietly dispersed.
Gov. Davis, by whose orders the state
house was closed against the fusion
legislature, says he was unwilling that
the farce should go on any longer. Had
they applied as citizens, and not as
legislative body, admission would have
been granted. He should be ashamed
to occupy the position of chief execu-
tive and allow what had justly been
termed fiat legislature to meet. If
we had legal legislature, backed up
by the courts, the people and the mill
tary, it was about time the humbug
part was done away with. He had no
doubt but that the rank and file fusion
lists are all right and have honest pur-
poses, and if let alone by INSCRIPTIONS
leaders would take their places in the
legislature.
Bosom, Jan. ia special to the
Herald says: AT 3:40 Wilson, of Orons,
