Explicit Correction.
r of the Journal:

To the Editor of the Journal:
MY attention has been called to . report of
the Indignation Meeting in Hallowell, on
Saturday evening last, in which occurs the
following paragraph:
"Representatve-elec Rowell, of Hallewell,
republican, afterward threw another frebrand
into the meeting by saying that he had been
shown the returns by the Governor and Coun-
Gil, and they had given him every courtesy
possible for the careful examination OF them.
He had no fault to find with that honorable
body
Every one who listened to my remarks on
the above occasion, possessing the least fair
ness Of judgment, will agree that my denun-
citation Of the action Of the Governor and
Council in the counting out fraud Tas fuN,
erptieit, and in accord NTH speakers rho had
preceded me. BY request l referred to my
interview with the Governor on the day pre-
vious to closing examinations of returns,
respecting the Acknowledgement of Hallowell,
and said that personally had been respectfully
treated; but that my entire sympathies were
with those who had been so basely defrauded
of their rights, and denied the privilege of
examining the returns until after the verdict
had been made up, and when no amendments
would be entertained! l notice the Argus
report, merely to show to what extent de-
tached remarks may be seized upon by SYM
pathizers with this giant fraud, to fasten an
entirely false impression upon the public
mind. +. RowELL.

Letter from Senator Blaine to the
Gardiner Meeting.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. 22d, 1879.
E. d. HALEY, Esq, Gardiner, Me-,
My DEAR SIR:-Thanks for your kind
note. would be very glad to attend the
Gardiner meeting this evening were it not
that / think the chief value in all such
demonstrations lies in the fact of their
being the voluntary, irrepressibie, express
sion of the community that speaks. Ihave
given my views in a meeting of my fellow
townsmen and shall say nothing else
where. If the people of every town do
not feel that their duty calls them to pro-
test against the great outrage committed
by Governor Garcelon and his Council,
then it is idle to urge them by invitation or
stimulate them by appeal Town govern
ment is the bulwark of New England's
strength, and it is the sanctity of town gov
eminent that has been outraged, the rights
of town government that have been des-
troyed.
Thirty-seven members of the Legisla-
ture, fairly and indisputably elected, have
been counted out, and in not single in
stance did the Governor and Council offer
hearing to the peoples elect, whom they
had determined to sacrifice. The dark
deed was appropriately done in secrecy
and in stealth. Four or five who were
threatened with Acknowledgement did by
urgent solicitation secure the privilege of
appearing before the Star Chamber
Council, but they felt and knew that they
were talking to men who had prejudged
their cause, men who had no ear for rea-
son and no eye for light.
Never before in the history of Maine was
party in interest refused full hearing
before the Governor and Council, and a
full opportunity to examine the election
returns. An accurate search into the
records says that in filty-nine years there
have been just sixteen cases in which the
Governor and Council found the official
returns so fatally defective in form as to
deprive the candidate apparently elected
OF his certificate, Averaging one case in
little less than every four years. Gov.
Garcelon and his Council find thirty-seyen
fatally defective returns in a single wear.
and by one of those Providential dispense
tons or happy accidents which only come
to bless the just and encourage the right
eous, every one of those thrty-seven fatally
defective returns was declared by dem
ocratic Council to exist in districts that had
chosen republican Senators or Represen-
tatives.
One OF the gravest charges brought
against George Thirdly our revolutionary
ancestors was that he had refused them
the right to choose Representatives to their
local legislature. But His Majesty was
informed in the immortal Declaration that
the Legislative powers OF free people are
incapable of humiliation" If Gov.
Garcelon and his Council had in imitation
Of George Third. refused us the right to
choose Legislature, the outrage would
not have been half SO grievous as that
which they are now attempting to infiict
on the people Of Maine. They have gone
far beyond George Third, for they have
refused to grant certificates of election to
those who were chosen by the people, and
not stopping even at that point, they de.

Gov. Garcelon has a letter in the Maine
Standard extra, issued last evening, in
which he undertakes to defend the count
out. 1t will require much ADLER man
than he is to defend so bad cause. He
says the count-out is in accordance with
the constitution and laws, bat in mention
ing the provisions of law in regard to cleo
tons, he passes by the law of 1877, which
he declared unconstitutional and disre-
garded in the count.

A monstrous fraud, an outrag-

employed to maintain his rights.
The fimsy pretext upon which Skowhegon
was disfranchised is only equalled by those
raised for the disfranchisment of other towns
and cities in the State. Every citizen of
Skowhegan with the least vestige of political
integrity about him will say to Mr.. Steward
dare to maintain your rights and we will
stand by you And to his opponent, ION your
peril do not dare to go to Augusta and there
perjure your soul by lifting your hand to Hea, en-
and swearing to support the constitution
of this State when it is by gross violation
Of that constitution, you receive summons
to do so.
All municipal officers who have
aided in the preparation of this great
crime against the people by protest, whether
stealthily furnished with the returns or 9TH
erwise deserve the most severe censure by
all good citizens without regard to political
preference, that hereafter they shall be
deemed UNIV orthy of public trust and conf
dence.
At the next election we will stamp
this infamous act under the feet
of the people by such majority Of votes
which will consign the perpetrators to ever
lasting infamy which they deserve and will
receive.
The ladies were invited to unite in expressing
their opinion. Every person present stood up
and with raised hands proclaimed in favor Of
their adoption.
Mr. Henry Plummer the greenback Evan
gelist, who had Struggled himself into the
hall, declared against the vote, and rose to
speak. The President asked for an express

permitted to speak. A rising vote was taken
and he was ruled out, still he persisted. Cries
from all parts of the hall. "Put him out. "

the right to speak. The chairman informed
him ''that he had no rights which the repub-
lican party are bound to respect"
