Mr.. TILDEN's intimate friends say that
while he shrinks from the burdens and cares
Of another campaign he will not allow him
self to be lightly set aside. Evidently he
means that the barrels shall be rolled one
side with him, and that would be a very
heavy as well as painful JOB

THE following from the Boston Journal
shows how Maryland is kept in the Demo-
cratic traces. These yillainies are mild
compared with those practiced in other
Southern States. By the way, doesn't it ever
occur to newspaper readers that they never
see ANYTHING about these well known out
RACES in the Democratic journals. Suppose
the Republicans should resort to such ras-
calities. How the opposition papers in this
State. from the New Era down to Pillsbury's
sheet would how'll
MARYLAND newspapers complain of both
fraud and violence during the late election.
In Baltimore thousands of Republican voters
did not vote, the whites because so many OF
them had been disfranchised by the Demo-
cratic registration and the colored voters be-
cause many of them had been threatened with
violence should they appear at the polls The
following are some Of the outrages practtllced
by the Maryland Democratic managers Inc
most exciting canvass i'll the State mas peen III
Howard county, where Gary the hepuDncan
candidate for Governor, and A. 2. Gorham,
candidate for United States Senator and the
head OF the Democratic State ring, both live
On fair vote the county is republican. 10
prevent Gary from carrying it, gang OF loo
Democratic ward FOUNDERS left Baltimore ear
ly. At Elkrdge they found a crowd OF col
ored Republicans at the polls, fired upon and
scattered another crowd of colored voters
The Deputy Sheriff dare not serve the war
rant issued for the arrest of the ringleaders
fearing for his life, and refused to call for a
posse, fearing that greater violence would en-
sue. Ellicott was visited by a gang of Balti-
more repeaters Another gang visited the
Third District in Howard county and dispersed
the Republican voters and shot John Morley,
it is thought fatally. In Anne Arundel coun-
ty no Republican Judges of Election were ap-
pointed. A large number of negroes were dis
franchised, and tho Democrats carried the
county by the grossest frauds The Baltimore
registration records were tampered with,
Whole pages of names of eolored voters being
scratched out The City Supreme Court de-
cided that corrections could not be made,
leaving disfranchised one-third Of the coored
voters in the city without chance of redress

The Reward Offered for the Cap
ture of Garrison.

When William Lloyd Garrison died, it was
stated that a price had been put upon his head
by the State of Georgia Having been written
to for the facts, Governor Colquitt stated that
'after diligent search into the records of the
past history Of Georgia and inquiry among
those who should have some knowledge OF the
fact of this reward, if such was ever offered, L
can say there is absolutely no trace OF any such
thing. [ firmly believe the whole thing an
utterly unfounded slander on the State" But
journalism is more active than the Executive
and the Atlanta Constitution, searching diligent-
ly through the journals of the House and SEN
ate comes upon the record OF 1881. wherein 1t
appears that Mr.. Nesbit Senator, laid the
following upon the table, Nov 26
'Resolved by the Senate and House OF Rep
reSentativeS of the State OF Georgia, IN general
assembly met, That the sum of -- thousand
dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated,
to be paid to any person or persons who shail /
arrest and bring to trial, under the laws of this
State, the editor or publisher OF a certain paper
called The Liberator, published i'll the town OF
Boston, and State Of Massachusetts,; or who
shall arrest and bring to trial, under the laws
of this State, any other person or persons who
shall utter, publish or circulate within the
limits Of this State said paper, called The Lib
orator or any other paper, circular pamphlet
letter or address of a seditious character; and
that his excellency the governor is hereby au-
IlOrlZGu ana reuu6Sleu W lSStiC ms N"ties
upon the treasury for said sum Of - thous-
and dollars in favor Of any person or persons
who shall have arrested and brought to trial,
under the laws of this State, the editor and
publisher Of the Liberator, or who shall have
arrested and brought to trial, under the laws OF
this State, any other person or persons who

dAnd Resolved further, That his excellency
the governor cause the foregoing resolutions to
be published in the public journals OF this
State, and such other papers as he may think
proper, and pay for the publication thereof out
of the contingent fund"
Four days later the resolution was taken up
and passed, the sum of $4,000 being named as
the reward. A month later the resolution was
passed in the House-yeas 43, nays 2S The
only person now living who voted on the reso-
lutions is the chief justice of the State, Hiram
Warner, and he was recorded in the negative

A CORRESPONDENTS of the Kennepec Jour
nal, writing from a town in LINCOLN County,
says the Globe commissioner" stopped at
hotel there with woman he represented to
be his wife. To all whom he interviewed
he offered liquor, which he drank unspar-
ingly himself. He left town late one after
noon and the next morning about o'clock
a man with badge on his coat called and
took the woman This statement is some
what mysterious. Who was the man with
he badge and what did the badge signify?
Perhaps the Globe will explain.

An Open Letter to the Boston
Gloha
DAMARIscoTTA, Nov. II,

DAMARIsCoTTA, Nov. II, 1879.
Against the statement you published in
your issue of the 10th inst, place my letter
of Nov. 4th.
Not one word or sentence regarding politics,
trade unions iron mines, letter from Mr..
Blaine, was had between the man kaler and
myself, or between any other Globe Agent and
myself. He has got sadly mixed up, and the
Globe will itself correct the statement regard
ing me when it finds that the whole COM
munity here are laughing over the stupidity
shown in your statements.
The agent, or spy, knows too well that even
on matters of business / at the start demanded
references, as to who he was, and his ability to
carry out what he proposed. He was caught
unawares, and the first name he gave was
Palmer of the Globe! VIII amy one for a mo-
ment believe that after that would have told
him what he says did? I have never been
called fool | believe.
Aside from our individual statements. there
are certain things alleged, which can be easily
proven as false, by other parties, The state
ment in the Globe of Nov. 7th where 1t made
Mr.. York say that | was at Nobleboro election
day, and paid a man 81 for voting. BY hun
dreds can prove this to be false, besides you
can't find any man, Greenback, Democrat or
Republican who believes YORK toId hlm SO.
Mr.. York swears he did not.
Next, your statement about my having made
bet as contained III your issue of the 10th.
| think even the Globe editor would be
ashamed over this, if he were here to discover
how he has been fooled. No man in Damaris-
cotta or anywhere else, ever told your repre-
sentative that made any such bet, or had any
connection with it.
The parties who made that bet, the bank Of
ficer and the whole community, know | was
not party to anything of the kind. The fol-
lowing statement nails that falsehood

Previously to the late gubernatorial election in

nection with oIag such bet. have no knowledge OF
any other bet being made in reference to the said
election (Signed) WILLIAM FIVE,

You have simply published lie, and the IL
ar is not a Damariscotta man. Thus are the
points stated by your reporter where, proof is
susceptible, and he is convicted of downright
lying. l can afford to rest the case. [ again,
however, desire you to acknowledge your mis-
take regarding the Nobleboro' vote purchased
by me- Better not delay that

SENATOR CARPENTEB of Wisconsin thinks
the Democrats have scheme in prepara-

If majority of the electoral votes are
against him some pretense will be found ON
which to declare The election illegal, and

An Argus Discovery.

The Argus startled its readers yesterday
morning with the announcement that it had
had something on it's mind for several weeks.
The announcement was received with various
feelings. Some of its readers sneered and
said it was a lie; that the Argus hadn't had
anything on its mind for years and that there
were even good grounds for believing that
the Argus hadn't had any mind of its own
for a lengthy period. Others interpreted
the remark to mean that the Argus was
about to take the stool of repentance and
confess The error of its ways and humbly
ask pardon. They remembered that it had
recently hanged sold Mordecai, and they
thought it was about to confess that he was
never hanged at all, and that it had been
falsifying the Scriptures by insinuating that
such was the case. Some remembered its
oft repeated insinuations that the business
boom" had been manufactured by Republi-
cans, and thought it was about to admit
that its own statement Of the condition of
shipbuilding in Durham was not altogether
ingenious.
They were all mistaken, however. The
Argus did really have something on its mind,
something of weighty import, too. And
here it is:
Last year the anti-Republicans had twelve
thousand majority of the popular vote and
eight majority on joint ballot in the Legisla-
ture This year the Republicans are in
minority of from one to two thousand on the
popular vote. On the basis of last year. it will
be seen that instead Of majority in the Legis
lature Of thirty as now claimed, they
should be in a minority of two, or thirty-nine
less than they claim. The limits of Represen-
tative and Senatorial districts have not been
changed at all since last year. How then
have the Republicans this year made them
selves stand thirty-nine better, relatively, than
the anti-Republcans did last year on the same
popular vote? 1t is this question that makes
them quake.
The reason the Argus did not give this to
the world before is, to use its own language,
because it did not wish to throw it upon
the effervescing coldron of Blaineism." Ii
it had only announced its great discovery
before it would have saved the Boston Globe
heap of trouble. The Argus should get
its discovery patented and sell it to the DEM
ocrats throughout the country.

The first stone of the Cologne cathedral was
laid August 15, 1913, and tits thought it will
be completed in another year. The two towers
have now reached their last stage, and have
only to be fitted with their massive caps OF
solid stone work. For this purpose two great
scaffoldings have to be erected at dizzy
height one of them, however, already ap-
proaches completion. When the caps have
been finished then a still higher story will have
to be added to the scaffolding, in order to fix
on the tops of the caps the gigantic foliated
crosses, almost 80 feet high, which are to crown
the towers. This operation will it is expected,
be performed next spring.

The New Y ork Board of Education.

DIR. B F. Richardson OF London, two year
ago delivered at the University of Oxford,
England, series of six lectures on physiology,
in which he dwelt largely upon the uniform
and inevitable effect Of alcohol upon the hui
man system, however taken and in whatever
quantity. His statements upon this subjec
were based upon the results of great many
and varied experiments carried on for many
years.
These lectures have been printed and circu-
lated in great numbers, in English, French
and German, and are universally accepted by
the faculty as conclusive upon the matter Of
which they treat.
At the solicitation of the Temperance Socie-
ties of England, DR.. Richardson was induced
to prepare ''Lesson Book" for schools, con-
tanning in a condensed form the substance Of
these lectures, so far they treated of the ply
siological effects of alcohol. This book has now
been adopted by the New York Board of Edu-
cation as a "Reading and Reference book" for
the public schools of that city.
Dr. Richardson, with Sir Henry Thompson
and Sir William Gall, is regarded as first in
his profession in England. The two latter ply
sicians have recently made public statements
UPON this subject in entire harmony with those
of Dr. Richardson. NEAL Dow.
