The Democratic Comments on the usu-.

thought she ought to be excused becsnse
the baby was "such a little oneD Ths
Democratic papers say in substance: "It ia
a mere bsgstelle, you know. There IA
notning TO steal except the Legislature, and
State othcers, and what is the use of howl
Ing about mere trifs like thst Garcelon
wouidnt take risks to gain Legislature,
and therefore 1t must be all right" This.
it is expected, will silence the people.
The Augusta (Me) Journal, which is
supposed to reflect very cloely the views of
Senator Blaine, says: "Let the Repub-
licans Of the State of Maine stand sbonlder

The Portland (Me.) Press ssys: 1.-THE

The Bangor (Me.) Wing seems to think

sys: "Wi,h this mons,rous fraud the :

The Chicago Liter Oce N says: ia the ~
