if State furnished to the secretary of the ,edipp Senate a certified roll under -s pre- ,f the State, and the names and Ine seals he senators-elect, acc"riing te residences or |1t aps1 aSeo tn .s thirty-ona Senators were elected and had been duly summoned, and the Secretary of State in like manner furnished the clerk of the preceding House eS Represen- tatives @ certified roll under seal Of the State of the names and residences of Represents tives-elect according to said report. It ap- peared 139 members were elected, and said Secretary also reported the vacancies in said several cities which were twelve in number, a copy of which said testified rolls is referred as part of the report. The report then goes on to speak of the organization of the fusion Legislature and election of officers (ths details or which have been already published); and then recounts the meeting and organization of the Republican Legislature, and strenuously insists on the legality of the former as opposed to the latter. The report quotes from decis- ions of the Supreme Court in defense of the claim that the fusion Legislature was organ ized by quorum.
 The fusionists are talking seriously of &C., cepting the rendered hospitalities of the Dem ocratic city of Biddeford. Fusionist Govern or Smith is desirous of getting away from Augusta, where, he says, the Republican city Legislature, and where the legislators are sub ject to insults The fusionists complain that extortion is practiced on them by the boarding house keepers, and that they are everywhere dogged by spies and eavesdroppers.
 The municipal officers in towns where the fusionists have control are sending to the Secretary of States office valuation books for the use of the valuation committee thus rec. ognizing the legality of their Legislature.
 The question of asking the Supreme Court to take some direct question regarding their organization is still asitatiDg the fusionists. They all agree that Eff the court refuses to entertain the question, it will be a good sr- gument to go before the people with, but if they should decide against them it would weaken some of the fusionists. The question now lies on the table. The fusionists are still being urged to stick. Fusion Treasurer White denies the report that he will surrender to Holbrook. He says he will surrender only when ordered by the court after all the.facts are brought ont The Republicans in the House did a good deal of routine business. There is but very little prospect of O oompro- mise.
