Campaign Notes.

One eighth part of the men who attended
the republican caucus in Sullivan to nominate
a candidate for representative, were returned
greenbackers. In point of numbers and en-
thusiasm it was long ways ahead of any
similar meeting held in that town for the last
fifteen years.
Col. Y. A. Smith, formerly of Maine, but
for the past few years one of the editors of
the Boston Journal, has been addressing re-
publican meetings in Aroostook county with
great acceptance.
The Hon. Nehemiah Smart, nominated by
the republicans of Deering for representative
to the last legislature was a very efficient
member. There can be no doubt of his cleo
ton.
At a republican meeting in Oxford, this
week, Mr.. j. Fuller, who has always been a
democrat, stated that he should vote for Dan
iel 4. Davis Mr.. Fuller is a respected citi-
zen, and has been one of the selectmen of
the town for several years.

MAINE WILL RESPOND With
ANOTHER NEXT MONDAY.
The Maine Central Tax.

The allowing of the Maine Central Rail-
road to go untaxed is one of the acts OF
the fusion administration which taxpayers
ought to remember next Monday. The re-
publican Legislature of 1874 decided that
the Maine Central should pay tax OF
from $4,000 to $4,000. The tax was
assessed but the Maine Central refused to
pay and appealed to the courts. The
courts decided that the Maine Central
must pay Thus the republicans had pre-
pared the way for making the railroad
bear fair share of taxation. But the
last legislature was so intent upon curtail-
ing the jack knife and stationery expenses
of that body. that it negligently or inten-
tionally permitted the Name Central to es-
cape taxation: The greenbackers say that
the stock had fallen so low in the market
that no tax could be assessed. EX-Gov
ernor Dingley, however, says this is no
excuse at all. ''The Legislature. - he says,
''of 1874 adopted the basis of market val
ut that time it bid fair to give the tax
wanted. 1t became evident in 1867 that
on account of the fall of the market value
of the stock, this basis would not secure
the tax which the road ought to pay, and
that the basis of receipts of the road would
probably prove better. But as the road
had gone to the courts on the claim that
it was unconstitutional TO tax it at all. ii
was thought unwise to attempt to modify
the law until the decision should be
reached. One year ago the decision was
made that the tax was constitutional, and
it was obviously the duty of the first leg
islature which should meet after this de-
cision to so amend the law as to secure a
fair measure of taxation from railroads.
The responsibility for The escape of the
Maine Central from taration his year.

Those Islands.

The Lewiston Journal editorially says
1.-The islands, as We have already explain
ed. had never been considered OF sufficient
value to pay for hunting up the titles and
selling them. This was done by the Or
der of the Legislature of 1s76-not be-
cause any income was expected of them
but as duty that the State owed to her
people. The islands were sold by auction
for all they would bring. The mistake in
selling islands that the State did not own,
was one of those errors which have here
tofore arisen in spite of the utmost care.
Whether it cost Gov. Conner and Council
more than it ought to have the titles
and condition of the islands examined we
have no means of knowing; but we are
very sure they pursued the course that
they supposed TO be just and wise. To
charge that the transaction was a job or
cheat is simply to endeavor to iniure
the reputation of good men to obtain a
few yotes''

4 correspondent of the Boston journal
writing from Hiram. Oxford county, Maine,
saws that in that town of 1900 inhabitants,
the republicans will gain over forty votes this
year; that in the county, where the opposi-

greenbackers who have gone over to the re-
publicans, from 400 to 500 republicans who

of Schools, last winter, what the effect of the
repeal of the school tax would be upon the

that it would reduce the efficiency of the
schools at least third, and impose much
heavier burdens upon the people in the

According to the Bath Times there wasn't
any deep laid plot in the escape of the noto-
rious ''Scottv" from the State Prison the
other day. ''Last Monday he was allowed
outside the prison walls to fill some beds and
sometime after he was missing-he had con-
cluded to leave his beds and walk. 1t would
seem that Warden Tolman was rather remss
in his duty in permitting such an opportunity
to gain his liberty to come in the way of one
whom the officials acknowledge to be very
notorious character in the criminal world"
THoMAsroN. Me-, August "a, 1879.
FRIEND PILLsBURY:
herewith enclose slip cut from Kennebec
Journal of the 23d. and would say that this
same Scotty's wife handed me a letter from
Mr.. Rice signed by him as ex-Warden. rec
ommending Scotty for a pardon. 1t was di-
rected "To whom it may concern"-and fur
ther, that he was allowed to pass out by one
of Mr.. Rice's old officers, without orders
from me.
Very Respectfully Yours,
GEO. TOLMAN.
In the above Warden Tolman finds it neces-
sary to misstate the facts, in order to excuse
himself for allowing a notorious criminal
having sentence of five years before him, an
opportunity to escape, and thereby put the
State to large expense for his capture. We
are assured by ex-warden Rice that he never
gave 'Scotty's" wife ''letter recommending
him for pardon" What he did give her was
a simple statement, that he had conducted
himself well while in prison, which is not I'M
usual for the most hardened criminals, and is
never considered a reason for pardon. nor for
allowing them an opportunity to escape. But
even that Mr.Tolman had not seen until after
''Scotty" had escaped, and therefore it could
not have influenced him in allowing him to
go outside the prison without being accom-
panied by an officer, as he had been allowed
to do by Mr.. Tolman for several days pre-
vious to the escape.
