NEW YORK, December II.
The World has the following editorial I:
Governor Garceion and his advisers have
made q serious political, and not less
serious moral mistake. They have multi
fed the will Of the people Of Maine. as ex-
pressed at the last election, on ccou Of
technical errors and o~versights. These
errors and oversights were committed not
By electors, but by local canvassers. Votes
we're. in fact. thrown out on account Of the
informslity in which they were returned.
There Is no pretense that this informality
was such as TO leave the intention Of the
voter in doubt. The tenor Of all statutes,
judicial decisions and treaties which deals
with elections, is that every presumption
should be made in favor Of giving effect to
the real intention Of voters. That the can
yassers in Maine have nullifed the real iu-
tenion OF voters there is no lodging. and
with fAir-minded people that fact viii be
decisive OF another controversy thar may
be raised. 1t Is plain that the defeated
legislators who rave thus been counted in
ought 10 refuse to serve, and leave the or
gsnization Of the Legislature to the Re-
publicans who we're elected to it. Only in
that way can they remove from the Demo-
cratic-Greenback party Of Maine q share Of
that disgrace which already belongs to the
Republican party Of the nation.

WASHINGTON, December IT.
Congressman ,Murch, Of Maine, who Is
politically opposed to the Democrats. says
Governor Garcelon acted In accordance
with law. and that an investigation will be
instituted by the Legislature which will
demonstrate that the Republicans intimi-
dated and bulldosed voters in the State.
The Legal Tender Act In the SUI

WASHINGTON, December IT,
Next Monday being meeting day in the
Supreme Court, Senator Edmunds will
move the case made up by Gen. Butler and
Congressman Chittenden to test the con-
sti,utionality OF the Legal Tender act,
which will be advanced on the calendar
with o view to argument and decision Al
soon as possible. Some weli-informed
persons are Of the opinion that the Cour,
