The first public meeting in the State in
denunciation of the high crime of Cover
nor Garcelon and the Executive Council,
held in Granite Hall last evening, was a
great and impressive meeting. 1t was
not a gathering Of rash, violent, ignorant
or fanatical men, but of the wisest, most
conservative, law-abiding, peace-loving
class OF our citizens, men who know
their rights, and knowing dare to
maintain them. The pastors of nearly
every church in the city were present, and
the leading men of their congregations,
also prominent business men and intelli-
gent mechanics and laborers.
The effect of this meeting. so grand, SO
rich in character and 0utspoken and elo-
quent in condemnation Of the perfidious
and liberty endangering acts of the base
men at the Capitol, will be powerfully
felt all over the State. 1t is the begin
ming of the end that is to be of the shame
full attempt to nullify fair election by a
secret and false count. A look into the
eyes Of these men was enough to show
that they mean business. No half way OF
halting methods will satisfy them. They
fully appreciate the import of the acts
of the conspirators against the public rights
and liberties, and understand how neces.
sary it is to strike promptly and with
resolution and courage at the enemy now
not waiting for redress to come next year,
when the same men or others like them
may repeat the crime of this year.
Now let the notes Of remonstrance and
denunciation ring loud and clear all over
the State, from every city and town and
village, against the counting out infamy
and its infamous authors. Let the latter
know what it is to feel the wrath of an in
jured people. Strike quick and strong.
Prepare for deeds if words will not suf-
flee to correct the wrong. There must be
no peace for these base men. Move
straight upon their works and accept moth
ing but unconditional surrender.

Fusion Cussedness in Lincoln
County.

To the Editor of the Journal:
We notice the Executive tools have issued
a certificate to James w. Clark of Nobleboro
instead Of Edward X. Hall who was elected
by large majority. The class consists of
Somerville, Alma, Newcastle and Nobleboro.
The bulk Of the republican majority given
for Hall being in Newcastle, some one hun
dred and fifty majority. Every ballot in New
castle for Hall was printed with his full name
Edward X. Hail." They were so counted
and declared; but a democratic clerk made
false record and taise return, by simply re-
cording and returning "E. X. Hail." While
to-day, unless change has been made since
the certificate was issued, the record now
reads edward X. Hall."-We are also in
formed that in Newcastle there were ballots
cast for James w. Clark; J. w. Clark and
James Clark; while the record and return
counted them all for James w. Clark!i Let

How Democratic Town Clerk in

To the Editor of the Journal:
NoBLEBoRo, Dec. 18, 1879.
Perhaps it may be interesting to you to
know how Edward X. Hall, Representative
elect from the classed towns of Nobleboro.
Newcastle, Alma and Somerville, was counted
out. The vote of Newcastle was as follows
Edward X, Hall 23s, Clarke, GA, Sidelinger
49, The false return was made as follows /;
vote for Lowell II. Sidelinger and L. II. Side
linger were all returned as Lowell II. Sideln-
ger. Votes for James w. Clarke, James w.
Clark and j. w. Clark were returned James
W. Clarke. 23s votes for Edward X. Hall
were all returned for Z. X. Hall, and there
was not one vote for 4. X. Hall. This was
done by democratic Town Clerk, who has
held the Office twelve or fifteen years. 1t is
thought by many to be put up job. X.

The Appeal to the People.


The Appeal to the People.
The worst political blunder that can be
made, in government where manhood
suffrage is the rule, is the subrersion Of The
popular UiN on TECHNICAL GROUNDS. The
courts may sustain technicalities. They
are held in the bondage of the letter. But
the court of last appeal-the people-are
bound by nothing in forming their opinion,
and listen to no argument but that which
goes to the equity of the question present
ed. The appeal to the people is always
in order, and, though the verdict is not
certain to be accurately just, the response
to conspicuous wrong is SURE. The act
committed by the Governor and Council
of Maine, INFAMOUS as ii is IN erery
way, is most conspicuous as party blum
der. which the witty French proverb
makes worse than crime. The ground
upon which thousands OF citizens were
practically disfranchised, and the general
result of popular election reversed, were
so triridl that the PUBLIC SENSE OE JUSTICE
REvoLTs, and it is safe to predict that the
defrauded party will gain largely next
year because of it. OF course. that is not
the effect intended. The short-sighted
partisans who happen to be in power in
Maine see only a method BY WHICH THEY
CAN REMAIN IN POSSESSION ANOTHER
YEAR, WITH POWER TO COUNT THE
VOTE AGAIN. They defend them
selves by referring to the sharp partisan
ship Of their republican predecessors, for
getting that it was that OBJ
jectionable. partisanship which weak
ened the republican party in Maine.
They also defend themselves by the Lou
isana precedent, and our esteemed con-
temporary. the Post. which is too csnserv-
ative to fully commend the unmistakable
swindle, says that 1.-THE effect on the re-
publicans OF defeating the popular will on
that occasion does not appear to have been
such as to give much occasion for fear in
the ranks of their opponents" There is
something to be said on that point. The
result of the election in Louisiana was
reversed by partisan returning board,
but large majority of the people
of the country, and especially of the North,
had good reason to believe that the result,
as it appeared by the ballots actually cast,
was secured by deprivlng good many
citizens of their right to vote. They
looked upon the action of the returning
board, therefore, as technical and not an
offence against equity. For that reason.
the republican party has not suffered as it
would have done had the election in Lou
isiana been fair. free and impartial. In
Maine, the case is different. No class of
voters is restricted in that State. In no
other State is a popular election more free
from intimidation and coercion. THE
GOVERNOR AND COUNCIL HAVE
COMMITTED A WORSE ACT TECH
NICALLY CONSIDERED, THAN THE
LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD
DID, BECAUSE THEY VIOLATED
THE EXPRESS LAW OF THE STATE,
AND WITH NO PALLIATING CIR
CUMSTANCES. The effect of such an
unwarranted proceeding will be to make
republican votes in every doubtful State,
and, with the other weight which the dem
ocratic party bears. 1T WILL ALMOST
ASSURE A REPUBLICAN SUCCESS
SION IN THE NATIONAL GOVERN
MENT.
