The Republican and the Shore Line
Railroad,

The Machias Republican is neither just
nor honest in its criticism on Mr.. Pike
and the Shore Line Railroad. In Its last
issue. II such measures are to be taken.
to defeat the road, or to heap abuse on any
one, no matter whom. merely because he
is candidate for Office. IL Is time there
was a change in Journalism.
Let us quote from the Republican article
which after paragraph in regard To Mr..
Pixies remarks at the meeting says
This shows the piiiful subterfuges that
such politicians as Mr.. Pike will resort TO-
to achieve the objects Of their ambition.
The facts are that Mr.. Pike had never
shown the least interest in this enterprise
until he was nominated for Congress, but
on the contrary ridiculed the idea Of ever
building such road. or of its ever paving
dollar If built. He deprecated In the
strongest terms the idea OF towns putting
money into this or any other road; and
this too, to gentlemen in this same town Of
Cherryfeld, where he is reported as hav-
ing so freely identified himself with this
enterprise.
Now we believe in the Shore Line Rail
road. and don't believe in mixing il up
with politics, and if the Republicans have
no other capital against MIR. Pike. will they
please, invent something that will harm
nobody. nor the interests of the read.
What are the facts: We were there and
| saw and heard about a much a any one.
concerning the proceedings of the meeting
and we heard nothing of a political nature
suggested whatever.
| Mr.. Pike may have been incredulous rs
to the building of the road. and he may
| have said that the towns should not put
money in Il we don't know but this NAV be
| true. but we do know that Mr.. Hale from
the beginning has been strongly opposed
| 10 this road. and we never could coax
either him or his partner To attend at
Cherryiield, any previous meeting. and
yet at this same meeting at which Mr.. Pike
attended. Mr.. Hale'> partner also attended
riding TO the place of meeting with Mr..
Pike. and subscribed for stock for Mr..
Hale and himself,

Semi Omcial Statement in Regard to
Our Claims.
Decisi0n Of the Tribssal Favorable 10
America.
WASHINGTON, Aug. -


There is information from Geneva which
warrants the assertion that since the ex-
clusion of claims for indirect damages. the
business before the Tribunal of Arbitrators
has been more favorable to this govern
ment, and that several awards for direct
damages have been agreed upon; the in
dication being that on the conclusion of
the adjudication gross sum will be
awarded to the United States. thereby
avoiding the reference Of the subject to a
board Of commissioners.
1t should not be expected that the par
ticulars can now be officially given. as the
proceedings of the tribunal are conducted
in secret, and as the information furnished
to our government is of the same charac.
ter.
On enquiry to-day at the Department Of
State 1t was ascertained that there is no
truth whatever in the widely published
statement that President Grant recently
requested Acting Secretary Hunter to fur
nish the Union Congressional Committee
with complete copy Of all the scandalous
reports made to the Department against
Cassius n. Clay when Minister to Russia,
and Gen. Fitzpatrick, Minister to Chilli. II
Is not known that there are any reports Of
character In the Department, and certainly
the President made no such request to
Hunter.

had any such conversation with the Secre-
tary Of War as that from which David

written by him to Gen. Howard, copies Of
which he was informed. rs he alleges. by
that officer were placed In the hands Of the
President and Secretary Of War.
, Both the President aud Secretary Of War
deny that such copies were ever received
