,ha, criminal proceedings should be at
once Instituted against the Ex-SecretarY,
and be be brought to speedy trial.
When the case was ready to be presented
to the Grand jury. Marsh, the principal
witness. had absconded, and The Demo
cratic members OF the investigating
Committee declined to appear against
him. Marsh was allowed 10 escape,
contrary TO The express wish OF every
republican on the committee, and for
some time it was = subject OF wonder
that his person was not secured. |. now
appears that be would have implicated
various democratic statesmen If he had
appeared before the Jury, and this alone
was the reason Why the committee a.
lowed him to depart,
What kind OF committee is that; to
Investigate only those frauds which
were committed by their opponents
and allow their friends to escape all
cens1Te. What kind of party is it
which will attempt to make capital out
OF lis opponents sins without endeayor-
oring to wash its own skirts? Dat on

The Spring Elections.

The results of municipal elections held
in this State Monday are very encourag-
ing to republicans. Though such election
are always strongly affected by loci
issues, they yet give some indication OF
the relative strength of parties. This
year, to great extent. local issues were
laid aside. snd party lines have been
closely drawn. This was particularly the
case in large towns and cities.
Portland, Lewiston, Auburn, Rockland,
Bath. Sacl. Gardiner and numerous minor
places, show, not only republican major
tiles, but, with very heavy vote, large
republican gains. The republicans put
toi ward their best and most available
meu, thus ensuring such results rs will
tell Tor the party's benefit in September
and November.
Democratic papers are trying to break
the force OF those showingS by claiming
that loca, issues alone entered into the
the contest. Still they seem much cha
qrined 81 the result. see Mr.. BlaineS hand
in it all. and howl accordingly. There IS
no doubling the fact that Mr.. Blaine did
influence each and every one OF these
elections. though rot in the manner indi

While the republican parry is to rejoice
