An Indignant Falmouth Republican.

Il
The general tone of the Republican press
seems to be one of quiet submission to the in
famous subyersion of our rights. and patient
waiting for legal opportunity to re-establish
them. This is good advice and is undoubtedly
the right course to pursue, but [ think
correctly represent the feeling of the Republi-
can community of the country when I say that
their indignation runs SO high that they need
but the word to rise in body and proceed to
the State House and scourge out the usurpers
with whips of scorpions from the places which
they pollute with their unholy presence. But
we must bide our time. 1t is not however till
next September. Our municipal elections
once in March. Let us at that time speak in
such tones as will be perfectly understood.
Let us be sure that the ballot boxes and public
records are in such hands as will insure US a
correct count and correct returns such as the
Governor and Council can understand and
will believe. We mean what we say.

TEE OLD GAME.
A Gardiner Man Swindled Out of 500.

A Gardiner Man Swindled Out of 500.
Another Gardiner man seems to have been
taken in by Massachusetts, sharpers. The
story briefly related is as follows: Lawrence
Kimball, an expressman of Gardiner sold his
team and received in return one hundred
dollar bill The first of the week he went to
Boston, and was returning on the night train
Tuesday. When just outside of Lynn he start
ed through the cars to see if any one was there
with whom he was acquainted. He found
some acquaintance, and was returning to his
seat when he met the conductor at one end Of
the car taking tickets. Mr.. Kimball handed
his coupon ticket to the conductor, and was
about to place it in his wallet when he noticed
fellows, apparently playing cards, in the
rYeats opposite to where he Was standing One
of them Immediately arose and accosted him,
asking how the people were prospering at Gar
diner, and especially mentioned Mr. B,
well known young man in Gardiner, making
such personal inquiries as indicated intimate
acquaintance. To Kimball's question he said ,
"Well, 1 suppose / am brother to B. My
name is Ed B. don't you know me?" KIM
ball had heard of such fellow, and even seen
him years ago, and Immediately took the prof
fered seat at his SIDE still retaining the open wal
let in his hand. AS Kimball was replacing his
ticket he showed this 800 bill, and the So
called B-remarking upon this playfullly
took the bill in his own hands Immediately
his companion arose and started out, and the
man himself attempted to CO. but kimball
stopped him, demanding his money, when a
man with news paper in his hand stepped
forward and said, "Gentlemen, there is fine
for playing cards in the cars" Kimball, while
protesting that he wasn't playing cards, lost
sight of his pretended townsman. He imme,
diately started through the cars after him. and
engaged the conductor in the search, but not
one Of the three men was again seen. 1t is
supposed that they were disguised, as this
b, as he called himself, had heavy side
whiskers and moustache, land as soon as they got
to the platform threw these aside. They could
easily have taken seats and would have been
passed by, as Kimball had not had time to ex-
anime any of them closely. They had prob
ably heard of this young B of Gardiner
and had used his name to secure Kimball' S
confidence.

ANOTHER INDEPENDENT OPINION
What the Boston Herald has to Say.

The worst political blunder that can be made
in government where manhood suffrage is
the rule, is the subversion of the popular will
on technical grounds. The courts may sustain
technicalities. They are held in the bondage
of the letter. But the cour6 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 pre-
sented. The appeal to the people is always in
ORDER and, though the verdict is not certain to
be accurately just, the response to the conspic-
uous wrong is sure. The act committed by the
Governor and council of Maine, infamous as it
is in every way, is most conspicuous as a party
blunder, which the witty French proverb
makes worse than a crime. The grounds upon
which thousands of citizens were practically
disfranchised, and the general result OF a popu-
lar election reversed, were so trivial that the
public sense of justice revolts, and it is safe to
pred let 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 method by which they can remain
in possession another year, with power to
count the votes again. They defend themselves
by referring to tho sharp partlsanShlp OF their
Republican predecessors, forgetting that it was
that Objectionable, arrogant partisanship which
weakened the Republican party in Maine
They also defend themselves by the Louisiana
precedent, and our esteemed contemporary, the
p Jst, which is too conservative to fully COM
mend the unmistakable swindle says that ''the
effect on the Republicans 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 re-
suit of the election in Louisiana was reversed
by partisan returning board, but large ma
iority of the people of. the country, and espec-
tally of the North, had good reason to believe
that the result, as it appeared by the ballots
actually cast, was secured by depriving good
many citizens of their right to vote. They
looked upon the offence of the returning
board, therefore, as technical and not an Of
fence against equity. For that reason, the Re-
publican party has not suffered as it would
have done had the election in Louisiana 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 popular cleo
ton more free from intimidation and coercion.
The Governor and Council have committed
worse act, technically considered, than the
Louisiana returning board did, because they
violated the express law of the State, and with
no palliating circumstances. The effect Of such
an unwarranted proceeding will be to make
Republican votes in every doubtful state, and,
with the other weight which the Democratic
party bears, it will almost assure q Republican
succession in the national government.
