The democrats being Just alike the State over,
we have doubt they will be up to the same
tricks in Augusta that they were in Lewiston. AT
the police court in Lewiston, on Wednesday, Pat
rick Gibson was arraigned for illegal voting in
Ward 3. He pleaded guilty, but said he was in
toxicated at the time and one of the democratic
candidates in that Ward found him on the street
and asked him to go and vote. He SAYS the
didate pushed him up to the polls and called the
name Of "John Kape,' and told him to vote.
Gibson was bound over to the 5. j. Court in the
sum of three hundred dollars. We ask our ward
officers to be careful! to-day that the democrats
don't get an opportunity to practice this little
game here. Taking drunken man, and voting
him on another persons name.. is nice little
game for party whose representatives in the last
legislature were so strenuous for additional pen
altes for bribery at elections.
pretty good thing happened at the post Office
in this city, on Saturday. A gentleman whose
home is in Rochester, n. H., who wanted to 20
home to vote at the State election on Tuesday APP
peared at the general delivery. He held in his
hand circular issued by the chairman of the
democratic State committee of New Hampshire,
made out somewhat in the form of bank check,
with blanks for filing IN names, amount OF money
paid, etc. The holder of this, if resident of
New Hampshire, and out of the State, or away
from the town in which he resided, could return to
his home for the purpose of exercising his right of
suffrage; and on presentation of the document
with the proper evidence that he had ootsd the
democratic ticket his travelling expenses would be
paid both ways. The gentleman appeared at the
post office with this document and asked the post
master if he soould cash II 3! But it wasn't good
day for cashing democratic election checks.

A Washington special to the st.
Louis Republican, under date OF the
4th instant, says the intensity OF the
public interest in the pending political
complication drew large crowd to
the capitol o-day, and the galleries OF
the house especially were packed with
people long before the hour of assem-
bling came, There seems to have
been some expectations OF an exciting
debate, but the proceedings did MT ut
any time take that form, although is-
sues which will undoubtedly lead to
animated discussions within the near
future were sharply drawn.
1t is generally conceded that the
question raised by Banks, respecting
tho admission of the newly elected
mem bers upon the presentation of GER
tiicates, and before the election OF
speaker, was brought up mainly be-
cause of its important bearing upon
the
Organization of the Next Congress.
Republicans wished to set a precedent
by which the clerk would be compelled
to admit every member bearing for
NAL certificate, and hoped by That to
nave the way for the admission Of
enough m EN- bers, fraudulently counted
in by Southern returning boards, to
give them majority

Special to the At. Louis Republican,
CINCINNATI, December 1.-Two
prominent citizens OF this place re-
turned tonight from Columbus, the
home OF Governor Hayes, where they
had an interview with Il. w. Merrick,
IL lawyer OF that city.
Mr.. Merrick. the Secretary, stated
to them, that AZ u Thanksgiving dim
ner az the house OF Governor Hayes,
the Governor said that he believed
that Tilden was honestly elected presl-
dent of the United States, and that II
he WAS borne out In his convictions he
would under no considerations accept
the office IL declared elected.
The conversation was brought on 10y
remark OF Mrs. General Mitchell
niece Of Governor Hayes. who said tC
the Governor that she hoped her hus
band, General Mitchell, would be sue
cessfu in his present mission TO Wash
ington, aud bring about n settlement
of the question which was proving
such a source OF trouble, both to the
Governor and his family, and to the
country at large.
To this the Governor replied as
above, saying that he believed Tilden
was honestly elected President, and
that under this conviction he should
positively decline to sccept ifdeclared
elected.
Mr.. Merrick not only reafllrmed the
truth Of the statement, but offered t'
make affidavit to the facts contained
therein.
