James McGlinchy, Esq, and daughter, have
returned home from pleasant European tour.
Admiral Theodore p Greene, U. S. N, is in
town, the guest of Mr.. Goodwin, City Civil
Engineer, with whom he was associated for
some years in the U. S. Lighthouse service.
The Boston Herald Gays Mr.. Thomas Nc
Intire, who has cut such curious figure as a
Greenback speaker in Maine, having "slipped
up on good portion of his engagements, be-
longs in Salem. He is no public speaker
whatever, and the wonder is how he is kept
in service in Maine.
The best thing about General Anderson's
speech last evening was his chivalrous recogni-
ton of the merits of his opponent, and partic-
ularly of Mr.. Reed of this district. who has
been singled out this year for an amount and
kind of Misrepresentation and depreciation for
which there is no reason or excuse. Mr..
Reed is Representative of whom all citizens
of the first district, whether they agree with
all his opinions or not, have right to be
proud Portland AdcertiSer.

Bribery.
THE FUSION CORRUPTION FUND.
The Regulators of Tennessee Send Aid
to the Would-be Regulators of

The Democratic and Greenback papers in
this State have busted themselves during the
last few weeks with publishing and republish-
ing the law against bribery; and fusion speak
ers have howled themselves hoarse in telling
their hearers that the Republicans have been
using corrupt means to influence voters. Peo-
pie have wondered as to the meaning OF this.
The meaning is now clear. The fusionists
have been striving to hide their own misdeeds.
They have been accusing us of using the
means to which they themselves have resorted.
We charge upon them that they have been
during this campaign in possession of the big
gest corruption fund ever known east of New
York. and that they have used it to bride vot-
ers. They have gone into the business, whole
sale and retail, and have opened their offices
in every part of the State. They have bought
all the cattle in the market have them herded
now, and will drive them to the polls to-day.
In this city of Portland they were offering
Saturday and yesterday any price for votes.
That is what these apostles of reform have
been doing in the State of Maine.
Why, money has come to them from all Sec
tions,-from New York to PARKWAY Tennessee.
We all know the New York business Listen
to the news from Tennessee:
Scarcely three weeks ago prominent
State senator of Tennessee told Henry e.
Eifz of Dcering, who then i'm that
State examining Southern claims, that the
state officials of Tennessee had been as
sesscd, one and all, for campaign purposes
in Maine, and that the money was TO be ex-
pended under the direction of the Maine
Greenback State Committee. MIR. Fitz is
now i'm this State, and can substantiate this
statement.
That is the aid, people of this State, that the
regulators of Tennessee are sending to the
would-be regulators of Maine. Will you, by
your votes sustain this shameless corruption?
Henry E. Fitz has long been clerk i'll the
United States Senate, and is man we'll
known and whose word can be implicitly re-
lied upon.

A Word to Naturalized Citizens.

Naturalized citizens, are you going to vote
for Isaac F. Quinby, who travelled this coun-
try FROM one end to the other, establishing
Know Nothing lodges, and incitings men to
hate and distrust of you? Are you going to
vote for this man who sought to close the ports
of the country against you and drive you back
under the merciless and IMPLYING rule of your
hereditary enemy? Can you be silly enough
to be frightened by Gen. Andersons silly talk
about British guns? Are you going to let that
demagogical appeal lead you into voting for
man who would oIose the ballot boxes against
you? British guns are far away. Religious
bigotry and political intolerance are arrayed
against you here. Which calls for immediate

Edmund Dana, Jr.

We hope that no Republican will be found
in Portland foolish enough to vote Tor this
man. How any Greenbacker ever can vote
for him is beyond our ken. He favors class
legislation. His druggist bill shows how little
influence he has at Augusta. One year he got
10 votes for it, another some %. He is the
most bitter opponent of the Republican party
in this city. Like his friend Pillsbury he is
very child-like and bland, but inside he IS as
malignant as Col Montgomery. we Shoulu
say that any member of our party must De put
among the doubtful who casts vote Tor Dana.

A Word to Town Officers.
CI-..,...aI.a.. I..........l

We desire to call the earnest attention OF
town officers to the necessity of taking particu-
lar care to have their returns of the election
absolutely correct. Since we have seen that
Secretary Cove has prostituted his office to the
basest partisan purpose, giving to a lying cam
paign circular his official attestation of its
correctness, we are prepared to see him stoop
to any baseness to keep his party i'll power
Republican town officers are therefore es-
pecially cnioined to be sure to have their re-
turns made to the Secretary of State correctly.
Attention TO this matter is of the greatest i'm
portance. Let our Republican friends in every
town have sharp eye to the making up aud
sending of the returns. Forewarned is fore
armed.

full access to the voting places, and competent
men be selected to count the vote. never
have believed yet that the officers in Ward
-Four last year were guilty of fraud, but we
know that they have suffered in the estimation
of many of their friends in the Republican
party. To avoid any suspicion in any ward.

THE LAST GRAND RALLY.


General Joseph Il. Hawley drew magniti-
cent and most enthusiastic audience to City
Hall Saturday night The General was
splendidly received and made most brilliant
and convincing speech.
Henry B. Cleaves presided very happily, and
the General held the attention of the audience
for an hour and three-quarters. The three
subdivisions of his speech were the financial
question, State sovereignty and the late Demo-
cratic legislation in Congress. AT times his
wit and sarcasm called forth the heartiest
laughter. AT others his strong arguments
brought down thunders of applause. AT the
close of his address the chairman called for
three cheers for Gen. Hawley, which were
given with will. The General then stepped
forward and said "three cheers for the old
flag 1t is needless to say the reply was UNI
animous. The Yarmouth band furnished ex-
cellent music. They showed excellent in
struction, and at the close of the meeting, in
response to an enthusiastic encore gave one of
their best selections in an artistic manner.

Ogdensburg Railroad.

Yesterdays Herald financial article says the
net earnings of this road for four months toJuly
81 are given out as 1914 ,656.S1. This, on the
face of it, is not very satisfactory, giving only
$73,97043 for the year, little in excess of in
terest on the debt, and it would generally be
supposed that the months of April, May, June
and July were fully a fair average for the
year. But we find July of this year contribut-
ed nearly three-quarters of this net as follows:
