DETAILS OF THE REFUSAL.
New York, Jan. 19.-The Boston UerGid'S
Augusta special at $40 o'clock says: Wilson,
of Orono, member of the Fusionist house,
arrived at the gate and simultaneously
Mayor Nash came down from the State
house. Wilson demanded admittance and
was refused. "By whose order?" he asked.
"By order of Gov. Davis" said the mayor.
"Gov. Davis ordered the State house cleared
because no business is being transacted in
any of the departments, neither in the treas
ury, the secretary of states office, nor either
of the houses of the legislature.
"But," expostulated Wilson, II have some
valuable papers in my desk which Unjust
have"
Mayor Nash-"I am sorry, sir, but am
only obeying the governor orders IN keep
ing you out"
The Fusionist Senator Strickland came
up: "Can go in9' he asked.
':No, sir" was the mayors reply.
81 ask admission as a member of the SEN
ate of the State of Maine. My name is
Strickland, and I can show you my creden-
tials."
II am ordered not to admit any one" was
Mayor Nash's reply.
ssBy whose orders?'' asked Senator Strick
land.
"Gov. Davis" was the response. eff you
have any communication to make in writing
will forward it to the governor
"No, SIR said Strickland; "Ihave no COM
munication to make. 1 am satisfied
At 3:45, Mr.. Lamson, president of the
Fusion Senate, and Mr.. Talbot, speaker of
the Fusion House, appeared with the secre-
tary and clerk of these hodies, and demanded
admission at the gate. On being refused by
the mayor they asked entrance as members
of the legislature only to have it again de-
MED them. They put the same questions
that Senator Strickland did, and received the
same answers. A few minutes later Gov.
Smith came up and attempted to pass with
out asking any questions. He was stopped
by an officer, and when he
said 81 demand admission as
governor" his authority was not recognized,
and he was turned back. At this time at
least 1000 persons had gathered at the gate
and the throng swayed to and fro endeavor-
ing to hear what was going on. A represen-
tative, supposed to be Knowles. of Bradford,
who has sat but not acted with the Repub-
lican house, began speech in which he de-
nounced the authorities for refusing him
admission in the strongest terms. Presently
a new diversion occurred, and cheer drew
everybody's attention to where the
TALL FORM OF TALBOT,
speaker of the fusionist House, was posted
on the fence of the State house yard. Clerk
Gibbs stood at his feet with the record book
and sundry papers. MIR. Talbot said in
substance: "Since we are not permitted to
enter the legislature held by an usurping
and illegal government, it becomes my duty
to call the House of Representatives to order
here on the nearest possible spot. Gentle
men of the House of Representatives you will
please come to order" The reading
of the journal was dispensed with and an Or
der was offered by Mr.. Plaisted of Lincoln
that the House adjourn to meet to- morrow
at Union hall, Augusta.
In reading this order Talbot began estate
of Maine, House of Representatives as near
as possible" which reated laugh in the
crowd. He declared the order adopted and
the House adjourned accordingly.
THE SENATE.
Lamson, president of the senate, who had
also climbed upon the fence, took off his hat
and said: Gentlemen of the senate will
please come to ORDER Plaisted's order was
then taken and declared adopted, and Lam
son declared the senate adjourned.
The members of the Fusionist legislature
then started down State street, followed by
the crowd.
AN INDIGNATION MEETING
was organized in front of the Augusta house,
and speeches were made by leading Fusion
lists. Great excitement prevails.
