The Contingent Business-Dem-
Ocratic DOctOring OF Returns.
From the Maehias Republican.

From the Machias Republican.
Last week we remarked in an article on
this subject that it was alleged that Pllsbury
had had free access to the returns ever since
they have been in Augusta, and that demo-
cratic towns where errors had occurred had
been recently notified and blanks had been
furnished for corrected returns so far as dem
had been done. This was a piece Of vllainy
hard to believe, but its truth was alleged,
nevertheless. We now have positive proof
at hand of no less than four cases of the kind
in this county. In Jonesboro, within two
weeks, a false return has been made and for
warded to Augusta. The active agent in
this case was Geo. w. Drsko. the great
fraud shrieker of the Nachas Union; the
same man who Stimulates such horror of
frauds in general, and republican frauds in
particular.
Drisko, acting as Pillsbury's agent in this
fraudulent business, is next heard of at Addi
son, where he attempted to have the returns
"doctored, but was frustrated in his nefari-
Gus scheme. 1t should be borne in mind
that the Governor and Council had entered
into this conspiracy, concocted by Pillsbury,
to take advantage of the errors and mistakes
of careless town officers, and the immaculate
editor of the Union was acting as the willing
tool of the base clique at Augusta. Dare the
editor of the Union deny that he was at
Jonesboro and Addison for the purpose of
getting the returns Of those towns "doc-
tored?'
We have heard also of f. X. Smart, Esq,
of Pembroke, the defeated candidate for
County Attorney, in the town of Marion
"doctoring" the returns in that town. In
Whiting, also, the same game has been
played. And yet the fusionists will continue
to howl and cry fraud louder than ever.

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them Of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
peetoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of a cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances Of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, we have mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,

The Councils Answer to the Pro-
test.

The answer of the Council is the joint
work of Foster, Fogg and Parker. The
document is mere wriggle, squirm, a
lame attempt at Justification. Messrs. Ba-
ker & Baker, ex-Gov. Dingley, Locke of
Cumberland. Harris of Washington, Heath,
Wing, Savage and Col. Dow. each in turn
have made every conceivable effort, and
presented every form of request to see the
returns, and have been uniformly refused.
Mr. Parker. speaking for the Council has
the hardihood to intimate that there has
been no refusal at all We beg to assure
Mr. Parker that for signing such docu-
ment he will not be denounced as an ex-
traordinary liar; he will only be laughed
at as an intolerable ass, and his condo
scending assurance that a judgment of the
Supreme Court will be taken into respect
full consideration by the Executive Coun-
Gil, is a fitting finale to this harleqnindde.

Union Needed Among Republicans
Presidential.

The Tribune of yesterday published a
letter from Hon. VIM. f. Chandler, urg-
ing union among the republicans of New
York and discussing somewhat the Pres
idential look for 1880. Mr.. Chandler
says:
"Unless MIR. Tilden's natural force has
abated,' and he has lost his grip and
proves himselfth coward he has been
charged with being, he will make himself
the nominee of the democratic party, and
the Presidential battle will be fought with
him as the democratic leader. Can any
of the 1873 Southern electoral votes be
taken from him? Can Indiana be carried
against him? Can New York, which
gave him $4,000 majority in 1876, be car
ried against him in 1882 If New York
and Indiana are to be lost to the republi-
cans, can we carry all the other Northern
States and Florida, making 1856 votes. as
in 1876? These are the vital questions
for republicans to consider and solve.
Prudent and cautious politicians cannot
fail to admit that republican victory in
1880 is probable only; not sure. The re-
cent glorious triumphs, under radical
principles, demanding the absolute pro-
lection of human rights everywhere un-
der the flag, the abandonment of which
for two years brought us almost to disso-
luton and destruction, have placed sue
cess within our reach. New York, New
Jersey, Indiana and Massachusetts are the
only doubtful Northern States. With
forbearance, concession, harmony, full
State conventions, and a wise and
patriotic National convention, whose
decision about candidates shall be cheer
fully submitted to by all, Solid North
can be interposed against "Solid South
and rebel-rule," the dangers Of which
Governor Hayes so earnestly urged repub-
lcan speakers in 1876 to depict as argu-
ments for his election. Without these con-
dtions Mr.. Tilden may yet be President.
For myself may say, that while now. as
in 1876, an ardent advocate OF Mr.. Blaine S
nomination, having second choice for
Senator Conkling; conceiving the selec-
ton of Secretary Sherman. of Ohio, who
publicly announces himself candidate in

if elected he will be controlled by demo-
Gratis. as utterly distasteful to me and be-
lieving that no emergency, unless caused
by reckless rebel actions during the COM
ing session, will exist to make the illustra-

lighted to welcome and honor, venture to

test for the Presidency, | have no opinion,

that will not, as always. crush out, il
necessary, in order to support the nominee
of the convention and join in an untiring,

rebels out. Would that Senator Chandler
with his fidelity, his energy. his sagacity
and his courage, were to be with us to
make one more battle for his principles
and his country!'

AUGUSTA, MAINE, }
Dec. 3, 1879. (

DCCs Is AO'S'
To the Honorable, the Governor and
Council of the State of Maine:
Your Honorable Board has re-
peatedly and now formally declined
to permit any Republican Senator
or Representative elect to see the
returns affecting him. Your ground
for this refusal is understood to be
your conclusion formally expressed
by His Excellency the Governor,
that you have no constitutional
power to make corrections in the
returns, in any instance.
l now offer, on behalf of the Re-
publican Senators-elect for Wash
ington, if your Honorable Board
will open the subject for investiga-
ton, to prove that in the case of
democratic towns for Senators and
Representatives, there have been
changes made; that these changes
were made to supply defects dis
covered by the surreptitious and
premature opening of returns, and
that they must involve in some form
the collision or connivance of per-
sons connected with the State Gov
eminent.
And in the facts which think
are susceptible of proof, will be
found the basis of that boast so
widely made by certain persons,
that the returns from Democratic
towns are all correct, and that err
rors and omissions are found only
in the returns from Republican
towns.
l shall subject your Honorable
Board, if you will order the inves-
tigation, to very little trouble and
to an expense 50 trifing that if you
have no appropriation applicable to
this end of justice, l will supply
the necessary funds.
The witnesses shall desire to
have summoned are principally per-
sons connected with the State Gov
eminent, officers in Democratic
towns and few others who have
competent knowledge on which to
testify.
Assuming that your Honorable
Board will gladly unite with me
and with all others who can aid in
discovering and exposing a nefa-
rious plot to thwart the expressed
will of the people at the late cleo
ton, i await your commands.
Your obed't servant,

Curious Errors.

Certain editions of the Bible, owing
to the errors they contain, have received
many odd names. What is known as the
Brooches Bible" Geneva, 1860 was so
called because Genesis iii. 7, was trans
lated: "They sewed fg-leaves together
and made themselves breeches," instead
of aprons, asln the English version now
used. In the "Treacle Bible" Q568),
jeremiah viii. % was made to read ::
'Is there no treacle in Gilead," etc, in
stead of "balm," and in 1909 the word
was changed to "rosin:" balm" was
first used in 1911. The Vinegar
Bible" printed in Oxford in 1717 by
John Basket, derives it's name from the
heading of Luke Xxx, which was made
to read: 'The parable of the vinegar"
The book had many ether errors, fir om
which it has also been called, after the
printers name, ga Basket of Errors"
In 1881 Bible was printed in England,
and 1882 another appeared in Germany,
both of which made the seventh COM
mandment read: '"Thou shalt commit
adultery" the word mot" being omit
ted. 1t was very appropriately called
the wicked Bible"
