state Printing.

StdtC H-ElntiuS
The National Democrat prints the re-
marks of W. W. Perry and D. ;. Simp-
son, made in the House in relation to the
State printing Both are ''reformers, :
and were members of the majority of the
printing committee, who awarded the
printing to f. F. Pillsbury & Co., though
heir bid was l6 l-2 per cent. higher thar
that of Sprague, Owen & Nash.
These gentlemen undertake to make II
appear that the contract of +. +. Pills
bury was lower and better for the State
than that of Sprague, Owen & Nash. In
order to sustain their position they must
make out that 45 Is less than 81: IS less
than 80 1-2; 90 less than IS; 80 less than
%. These were the figures contained in
the bids. the lowest in every instance be-
ing those of Sprague. Owen IL Nash.
Mr.. Thompson of the Senate, n green
hacker and chairman of the committee on
printing, being asked when the subject
was before the Senate, by Mr.. Vim
ton, II the bid of Sprague. Owen
x Nash was the lowest, replied
hat IL was he forrest Mr.. Thompson had
the brains to understand that the new
rule of arithmetic adopted by Perry and
Simpson would not work i'm the Legislature
or at home, and so admitted what it was
useless to deny.
And the democratic greenback members
of the legislature outside of the printing
committee, when they came to discuss the
question, dropped the idea of contending
that Pillsbury & CO. bid was the lowest
and best for the State, and fell back to the
position-much as il belied their profess
ions as Performers they ought to
vote the printing to their party friends,
scitkoM regard 10 whathe state might sare
BY takiny the forrest bid.
1t is q significant fact in relation to this
matter, that at the meeting of the com
mittee at which the bids were opened,
. motion was made before the bids
were unsealed, by republican men,
Der, 10 adopt the iowest bid altered,
but this motion was roted dorm
by the opposition members. They
evidently had then made up their
minds to award the printing to Pillsbury
4 20 though the bid of the latter was
the highest, and though they had adver-
tised to the public for proposals, thus inn
plying that they would accept the lowest
responsible bid.
Threats were also made that if Sprague,
Owen & Nash persisted in standing to
their bid and claiming the State printing
they would be assailed for overcharging
the State, and their characters rs business
men blackened. II they had been willing
t, step aside and leave the field to Pills
bury Il Co. all would have been lovely as
regards the State printing But Sprague,
Owen 4 Nash, feeling that they had moth
3 ing to fear from any honest. fair, compe-
tent investigation, kept their ground, and
hence the great wrath visited upon them
by the Performers" who desired to vote
several thousands of dollars out of the
State treasury and into the pockets of
Pillsbury & Co. solely .tor political pur-
poses.

ing.
The following letter comes to us without
solicitation. The author, Hon. W. II.
Stevens, was a member of the Senate
from Somerset in 1876, and Chairman of
the Printing Committee that year. The
letter Is a timely and sufficient answer to
the loose talk. made about the Legislature
in regard to the manner pursued by the
republican party in relation to the State
printing. The letter was a private one
bat we take the responsibility of making
itpublic.
New PORTLAND, Feb "a. 1879.
MI DEAR SIR Has it occurred to you
that in 1876 when was chairman of the Com
mittee on Printing and Binding, the commit
tee was instructed by the Legislature to ad-
vertise for proposals to do the work, and that
the committee did so advertise in the Kenne-
bee Journal, Bangor Wing & Courier, Bangor
Commercial, Lewiston Journal Portland
Press, Portland Argus, and Biddeford Times |!
There were but two bids, Sprague, Owen
& Nash, and Samuel 5. Smith & Son of Ban
g0r. As there were no practical printers on
the committee, called meeting of the com
mittee, and asked Mr.. IIoman to go before it.
examine the proposals and inform the COM
mittee which was most favorable to the State /;
he informed us that the proposal of Sprague,
Owen & Nash was from 10 to 20 per cent.
more favorable than the other, and that the
other might be 80 per cent. higher by hurried
night work. At the same time | sent Il note
TO Mr.. Nash, asking him TO bring his books
before the committee and by request of the
committee, Mr.. Holman compared the con-
tract Of the year before with the books TO
ascertain II the charges compared with the
contract. He reported no DISCREPANCIES.
The committee reported both proposals with
out any Recommendation. The Legislature d.
fected the committee to make contract with
the firm they considered for the best interest
Of the State. See Senate journal for 1876.
II strikes me that the action of Il e Legisla-
ture at that time, and the care of the commit
tee 10 see that everything was correct. might
eulighten the people somewhat and give the
lie 10 Piisbury Go. Hastily,
W. ii. STEVENS.

This question has been settled by DIR. NJ.
W. Case. highly educated physician of
many years experience in treating Catarrh
and diseases of the throat and lungs. He
has designed ingenious and scientific appara-
tus by which remedies in the form of vapor
or smoke are carried directly to the. seat of
Catarrh, Consumption, Bronchitis, etc, and
into the blood through the lungs, with perfect
ease and as little trouble as it is to breathe the
mir that surrounds u.s. The result of this
treatment is an astonishing success. His
Carboatc of Tar lnhaants have been On
dorsed by leading physicians, and their
81 eedy cures in seemingly hopeless cases
commend them to thousands who have tried
other remedies in vain. The Doctor stands
high as an honorable and ccessful physician
in his spccialites of Catarrh and Consump-
ton. All suffering with these diseases NAV

filed beyond the average, and if the
display of fruit was somewhat limit
ed it was solely because the general
fruit crops is failure. We had the
finest field of racing horses brought
together, and the racing the best
ever seen in the western part of the
State, greatly exceeding that seen
at the State Fair. In spite of the
growing of our wouldbe friends

our unfriends, we have paid from
the proceeds of the fair our regular

TO oar members and patgons:, A
report has been industriously circu-
lated, whether maliciously or not |
know not, that the financial result
of our late fair was SO disastrous
that the Society is hopelessly bank
rupt, that it is unable to pay its
premiums and will be forced to wind
up.
This report seems to have arisen
either from the imaginations of in
vidious persons, to whom the thought
was the child of the wish, or from
individuals Who wished to bankrupt
the Society that they might admin
lister to its effects. To whichever
party its circulation is due, it is an
true in every respect. SO far from
our last fair being 9 failure, it was
in most respects the best we ever
had. The display of fine stock,
horses, cattle, sheep and swine, great
ly exceeded that of any previous
year. The exhibit Of agricultural
and horticultural products was ex-
ceptionally good. The domestic,

The mc ther- r-in-law of Rev. Cook,
of Dodgeville, with two other ladies,
met with a frightful runaway on
Saturday morning. They were
driving pass Wearne's foundry, in
this city, when the horse got fright
ened at the buzzing, sound of the
busy shop, ,and became completely un-
manageable, and started off at fu-
rious gait. The three women were
quickly thrown out, the old lady re-
ceiving bad cut in the forehead,
while the other two, we understand,
we're uninjured. The horse ran as
far as James harness shop, at the
foot of High street, where he collid-
ed with another wagon, causing the
shaft of the buggy to pierce him
back of the iore-leg, coming out at
the breast. It is q much used up
horse. The injured lady is doing
