with the Republican committeeman.
He has decided to allow the matter to
be settled in the courts and will abide
by their action. The legislature will

Long and Exciting Meeting.
The meeting was long and exciting
one, opinion from the first being
strongly against the signing Of any
agreement with the eDmOcrats which
might In any way be construed as a
surrender of the Republicans. The
feeling was also general that 1t was
needless to keep up the fight as it had
been conducted during the last two
weeks. 1t was then decided to allow
the legislature to come back on Mon
day, to discontinue the sessions at
London, and allow matters to be set
tied by the legal tribunals. There is
no doubt what decision of tie courts
and legislature will be as both of them
