MR., Nh VIEW

The Republicans of Kennebec county
do not fail to appreciate the prompt, hon
orable and disinterested manner in which
Mr.. Mayhem has relieved them from all
embarrassment in connection with his can
didacy for the Senate.
We are advised, moreover, that the facts
relating to the charge against Mr.. May
hew have been very grossly exaggerated,
and that he did nothing that is not suscep-
tlble of an honorable explanation 1t was
prudent step on his part not to allow
his name to go before the voters of Ken
nebec until he has had an opportunity to
clear up the charges against him; but we
are glad to believe on the authority of
those who have looked into the facts, that
MFR. Mayhem will vindicate his claim to
the confidence and regard of his fellow
citizens of all parties.

stories about outrages upon the negroes

The conclusion cannot be escaped that
there is well organized conspiracy in the
South to murder the colored citizens there

be that the Argus is running an indepen-
