The LEGISLATIVE embrogliO in
Maine has been settled in favor of the
Republicans by the Supreme Judicial
Court Of that State. Finding that the
Fusionists did not yield in accordance
with the decision Of the Court of their
seven questions which were all decid-
ed against them, the Republicans met
at the State House and organized with
a quorum in each House. The Senate
elected President Of the Senate and
the House a Speaker of the House,
and then drew up twenty seven
questions for submission to the SUI
preme Judicial Court and adjourned
till the following Saturday. Among
the questions was one asking if the
Republican Legislature was legally Or
ganized and legal Legislature. This
was decided in the affirmative unani.
mously by the full Court of seven
Judges. And all the other tWenty-six
questions were decided unanimously
in favor of the Republican Legisla-
@ture, and against the FusiOnists. On
Saturday the Republican Legislature
met and elected Governor and other
State officers. The Governor elect
Daniel T. Davis, took the oath of Office
and entered upon the duties of office
On Monday he issued an order ex
Guiding the Fusionist Legislature from
the Capitol, who, up to that time haG
held their sessions there. They pre-
fessed to hold session in front of the
Capitol and have finally engaged a hal
and profess to hold sessions. And
they will probably continue the farce
processing to hold sessions, to legis
late, and to appoint electors Of Presi
dent and Vice President. The effort
by Governor Garcelon to steal the Stat
was probably without the full expecta
ton Of success But in pur
suance of the programme planned il
New York it was intended to appoin
electors for Maine for the purpose O
raising an ostensible doubt in the FL
ectoral College as to the right to coun
the vote Of Maine and so have i
thrown out.
The plan to constitute the F"*'
Legislature the real Legislature al
thus far signally failed. Whether i
will succeed or fail in throwing tn
vote of Maine out of the Electoral Col
