GOV. CHAMBERLAIN AGAIN,


PORTLAND, July 1S.-AnOther and last effort
Is being made to get Gov Chamberlain before the people
again Governor, in this wise: conference Of Repub
hcans and Democrats held in this city two days ago.
and decided to make attempt to get letter adj
dressed to the Governor which should be signed by as
many Republicans as possible, asking him TO allow him
self to be voted for without any more formalities
These gentlemen ready to promise all posi-
BILE aid thenceforward to make him Senator
next Winter, the Republicans thinking 1t nee
essary be first elected Governor again, and
the Democrats refusing to promise him any aid In the
Legislature unless he comes TO their rescue now They
see no hope for them from their works II they are
left to their own when they reassembe at Ban
cor they will nominate n man to whom the whole cam
paign is only modification OF the flesh IL Is fair To
saw however that to great number Of the Democrats
even the opportunity to vote for Chamberlain oilers
nothing very charming Indeed, numbers OF them say
they will never vote for ln anu point 10 te pdrdoN vi
taking man for Governor who is prominent candidate
of the Republicans for Senator
The true significance OF the whole matter is ths Ger
tain Republicans and certain Democrats want a new
dealwant or are wiling 10 break up existing parties
and especially want personal and particular assistance
now. Democrat will try 10 go 70 Congress from the
Ist District If he could have the strength OF GOV.
Chamberlain and some OF his funds In consldera-
ton of helping make the Governor Senator next winter
il would splendid alliance Certain Republicans who
are half tempted strike for themselves in different
portions of the State want the thing To get Cham
ance however small would be much paidup capital,
which would float great amount of individual stock"
But IL is probably too late 10 accomplish anything The
Governors most discreet friends think the risk too great
and there is proof that he would d9yse It, or that he
desires H. The Democracy will be left TO themselves,
and renominate Mr.. Smith, probably, and subside. Mr.
Perham will be elected, and Republican majority VIII
pubc meetings bands OF music, tOrchligrs but a
small vote and the usual percentage of Republican supe-
riOrity Of numbers. .
The Senator question is the chief matter Of interest in
the election-that is the chief sdessue. Mr.. Wash
burne's candidacy is not prominent a few weeks
ago and the choice would rather seem to lie between
SENATOR Morrill, and Gov. Chamberlain. The arrival
home OF Congressman and the approach of the
time when the state Committee Will to work upon the
organization for the campaign will create some zest
I'm potca circles but it has been very dull since the
Democratic Convention broke up, and aside from per
sono interests the Fall elections here will have little 10

ATLANTA, July 19.-The majority OF the Sem
ate Committee the investigation of the charges against
Gov. Bullock, conclude their report as follows:
Having gone thoroughly through the investigation OF
all the direct and indirect charges against the Governor
your Committee feel that IL Is due his EXceency Ior us
10 state that nothing has been disclosed or established
which tends in any TO mpugn his motives or his
personal and official integrity, ana we invite attention. 10
the evidence " sustain us in this OPINION
The minority say is just to say that In the instances
OF transcendlng the law hcrenbeore discussed the evil
dence fails TO show that the Governor has been pecun
arfy benefited.
Upon the charges against the Treasurer the majority
OF the Committee on the charge OF having accepted
bnbe, after reviewing the evidence, say
Your Committee feel that it would be improper 10 eN-
press an opinion upon this charge In view OF the strong
possibility that more OF us may DC called upon W
act upon II in judicial capacity
The majority do not express opinion but repeat the
opinion given by ChiefJusce Brown, that the question
of proof depends upon the motive under which the
money received by the Treasurer. The majority
conclude their report by saying:
1t IL due to the Treasurer to state that so faras they
have been able to discover all public moneys which nave
into the hands Of the Treasurer have been account
ed for.
The minority say:
We fare unable to explain why the Treasurers books
did not show exactly what had become or the pace OF
