Any own belief is that it would have been

Enforcement of the Internal Revenue

RoCKLAND, July 26-Uuited States Com
missioner Rand of Portland and District
Attorney Lunt arrived here today A large
number of persons were brought before the
Commissioner this afternoon on complaints
regularly made charging them with having
sold manufactured tobacco without having Maid
the United States internal revenue tax. The
sales being proved the parties were ordered IN
recognize for their appearance before the
Ohiteo states District court or were given the
alteinauve to settle by payment of the tax
and cost. The tax is but S., but the amount
required to settle was fixed at 1914. Soma Of
the parties recognized for their appea ranoe at
the court, and the hearing was adiourned iii
tomorrow morning. The sales in all these
cases were on the day of Barnum's circus. and
the pesons complained against, in nearly every
instance, were only engaged in peddling from
booths or otherwise for the day and were un-
aware that they were violating any lay. The
penalty imposed is looked upon as a great
hardship and tbs impression is getting abroad
that the two young men who testified to the
sales are informers who are travelling with the
circus on the purpose to entrap such unwary
and unconscious volators of the law for their
own profit, and great indignation was mani
tested against them. Early ia the evening
crowd of several hundred gathered around the
hotel and filled the Office, and finally began
hustling one of the obnoxious persons, and
wonld have inflicted personal violence upon
had mt ba
him off to his room. The crowd remained in
the vicinity of the hotel till late hoIr in the
evening freely expressing their indignation
against the obnoxious witnesses.
Commissioner Rand says that the witnesses
are acting under direction of Internal Revenue
officers, but the popular feeling here is that
under the peculiar circumstances of these
cases great injustice has been done by the
means taken to enforce the law.

Charges of Attempted Democratic
Bribery.

New YORK, July 26.-Minester Noyes thinks
the Potter committee should now as publicly
exonerate him from the slanderous charges
made AGAINST him as they publicly assailed
him. He also says that when in Florida he
saw letter in the hands of prominent Re-
publican politician of Florida, setting forth the
names, dates and circumstances of an attempt
to secure the vote of one of the Republican can
vassers for Tilden electors. 81 think that let
ter is still in existence. This attempt was not
limited to McLin, bnt have reason to think
that Cowgirl, the other Republican member of
the Canvassine Board. was also approached in
the same manner. This corrupt proposition
met with no favor from either Of them, SO far
as my information goes. then believed them
to be above corruption, and have not changed
my opinion. The amount named was large.
Whose money, or whether it was actually in
hand, 1 have no means of knowing 1t was
further matter of current belief that there was
some controversy as to who should handle the
money and pay it over, and that this resulted
in ill-feeling, and possibly in disclosing the
