the salary at the port Of Canaan is 500 Der

are competent men who will, and have offered
to take charge of the Office for $3.50 per an

keep up the salary, and have il expended for
the support Of the old line regency. Now

The foregoing is confirmed by letter from

Perhaps we did not draw our indictments bros

UaichmGn We have before said that Cove
ernor Fairbanks message never contained
clause recommending the Maine Law. WI
now say that he never prepared or "concoctes
a clause 10 put in" which recommended III
Maine law. Perhaps somebody lid belle
about this matter-that sometimes occurs b.
really we suppose that somebody misundersloe
the facts-yery much as the editor Of the Fn'
man persists in doing.
Certain papers of the State are underworld
to excite prejudice against Gov. Fairbanks,
circulating a story that he struck out from
message last fall Recommendation Of Oh
Maine law, by request of some Wings. WI
know this to be sheer fabrication. Nothing
the kind ever occurred. Certain Tempenncl
