We have heretofore adverted at length to
the effect of the Democratic and p L. L. in
cursion last winter in the Massachusetts Leg
islature. The lobby had hitherto had only a
nominal existence, but tie enlarged Demo-
cratic minority had power to call one into exist
ence that brought indelble disgrace ON the old
Bay State. More schemes Of population and
plumber were crowded through than during
the whole previous history of the Common
wealth.

MANNED SOLDIERS DISCHARGED FROM THE

K1TTERY, Sept. 2, 1868.
Mr.. EErToR.-The Argus has been prating
for the last two or three weeks about discharg-
ed soldiers Sc. There were discharged from
the Navy Yard through the Democratic admin.
istration four ons-legg,d soldiers, and three
one-armed soldiers. This discharge took place
on Monday, after the new master workmen
were installed. Ex-Gov. Hawley of Connect
cut paid these soldiers glowing tribute, in his
speech on Tuesday evening, and promised
them good accounts from Connecticut in No
vember. How about this Mr.. Argus?
ia Yours for the cause,
A S OLDER.
The following from the Portsmouth Chroni-
Gle gives more details in regard to the same
matter: aasaH sia vsea e.
The rebel. who dictated the discr argos at
the Navy Yard, Monday, have shown their
spirit by making clean sweep Of the disabled
soldiers. -Four one-legged and three one
armed soldiers were among those discharged
When the Union men are once more in power
we trust that they will remember this action
and start every rebel sympathzer from the
Yard whether he be naval officer, clerk or
workman. If this course is not adopted there
will be change of Republican leaders or a
new party. The time for halfway measures
is gone by. .t-trI

not make his appearance at breakfast, went to

OTHER STATES,

Kentucky and Delaware, good Democratic
States, are "retrenching" so fast that they
don't reduce their debt, while Republican In
diana has paid so per cent. of hers, and Re-
publican Iowa has paid the whole of hers.
Under Democratic rule Missouri did not pay
the coupons on her bonds Recently she has
been under Radical control and has resumed
payment. This is by no means complete pic
ture, but it shows this, that if all that is aleg-
ed against the Republican party on the ground
OF extravaganza were ten times true, the De-
mocracy would only plunge us into difficulties
ten times greater. But since falsehood is the
sole foundation of nineteent wentieths of all
the charges against Republicans the people
will probably hesitate a long while before
going 1t blind for a CHANGE
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1868-09-04

In Connecticut the last Legislature had a
very large Democratic minority which did not
even initiate a retrenchment measure of any
kind whatever and only rendered itself con-
spicuous by its determined opposition to reg
istration law designed to prevent the repeti-
ton of the illegal voting that had at the last
election given Governor English his majority.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1868-09-04

Here the first remarkable circumstance that
attracts attention is the relative indebtedness
OF the Republican and Democratic towns
The. latter class of municipalities during the
war neglected to fill their quotas until they
were obliged to do so in order to escape the
iraft. The recklessly high prices paid for re-
fruits under the pressure of immediate neces-
'ty IN very many cases plunged them heavily
N debt as punishment for this want of patri-
osism. In some of these towns the debt
inount' 10 twenty per cent of the valuation.
Some Republican towns are also in an unfor.
tunate condition financially, but there is a clear
ly marked and unmistakable difference tbot
rebounds to the credit of Republican admins
trative ability or integrity as compared with
the same qualities as displayed in Democratic
municipal management
Until last year there was but one Democrat.
ic city in Maine that INDUCED itself in the ex-
pensive luxury of a Democratic local govern
ment. That city was Biddeford Not long
'inoe we saw in the Biddeford Journal a state
nnen' ol TINS kind The debt of Biddeford is
9zoo,ooo more than that of Saco Thirty thou-
sand dollars more was collected az taxes in
Biddeford last year than at anv t;ma drr;,,o
the war; moreover the debt of that o;,u h..
creased under Democratic rule more than s2oo
900. Unlike Portland, Biddeford has not hoo,
called upon to meet extraordinary emergeno;aa
requiring unusual outlay
we remember few little incidents that oc-
CURED IN the State legislature last winter that
are perfectly conclusive as to the disastrous re-
suits that are to be anticipated from a Demo-
cratic accession to power in the State govern
