House and president of the Senate, to-

houses, In these elections Of officers the
Republican members holding certificates

1t would seem that many returns made
Of the state election of September. 1879,

and when they came to he canvassed in
the autumn Of thatsyear, BY the governor
and council, some were thrown out be-
cause of the alleged .imperfections and
others were counted which it was
claimed should not have been counted.
Therefore most bitter dispute arose
between the Republican and fusionlsts
SIS TO the justice of the certifcatioD OF
considerable number OF the members OF
the legislature. The Republicans claimed
that certificates were granted to men
who were not really elected and withheld
from men who were elected. On the
other hand, the fusionists claimed that
| q correct canvass had been made OF the
legal returns received at the lSecretary of
States Office, and that each house must
be the judge of the election Of it's own
members when all the returns, good and
bad, were laid before it. AS certified by
the governor and council, the House stood

Very many of the que stions involved In
the dispute were submitted to the Su-
preme court, which WAS composed OF
seyensR Republicans and one Democrat.
Three opinions were given BY the court,
the first on January 8, 1880, the second
January 16, 1880 andEthe thirdsJanuary ~.
1880. these opinions sustained the he
publican position at every point, and in
effect that the organization of the legis-
lature by the fusionists on the first We'd
nesday in January was Illegal. AS a mat
ter of course, the Democratic press
severely assailedsthe opinions of the court
and they were much discussed in legal
circles both in and out of the state.
That body continued to meet daily at
the State House, after its organization on
the first Wednesday of January. 1880,
until and including January IL, 1880. On
the evening of that day, at about Z
O'clock, the Republican members, and
those claiming to be eleotsd, marched in
o body to the State House. and proceeded
to organize another legislature.
A Calling gun was..placed at the entrance
of the State House by the Republicans,
and the Democratic and greenback MEM
bers were refused admission to the bull
ding for some time. There was intense
excitement all over the state, and it was
feared that lives wouldd he lost.

Gentlemen, this is very peculiar sit
uation for me to be placed in, but I
shall prove my innocense and fight the
