What Gov, Garce,ou Really Meant,

In his Fabian march toward the truth of
the charges of fraud and intimidation at the
polls Senator Thurman is ''getting warm"
as the children say. After lingering a long
time about Massachusetts and New York, he
has at last reached the Sunny South. He
has not hit upon the right trail yet, but is so
near it be cannot miss unless he is obstinate
ly determined not to find it. 1t is in the
Second Congressional District of Florida that
appears that certain oficious United States
MarshaIs hung round the polls in that Dis
trict and interfered with the Democratic at
tempt to carry out the Mississippi plan.
The country will be glad to have from so
distinguished an authority the Democratic
definition of intimidation. For weeks now
the Democratic press has been teeming with
accusations of "Republcan bull-dozipg," and
throwing out hints that great mass of evi.
dence would soon be produced. The people
have been thinking all the time that "Rep-
publican bull-dozing" was simply short
name for the bull-dozing of Republicans and
have been very ready to believe that much
and sufficient testimony to the truth OF the
charge would be produced. They were mis-
taken, it appears. Intimidation at the polls
consists according to the Democratic defni-
ton, in the enforcement of the laws of the
United States by men appointed to enforce
these laws and sworn to faithfully discharge
their duty. A Republican bull-doz
10 foJ Of ,h0
protects the freedom and purity of the
ballot-box, objects to the stufing of it by
Democrats or others, and does what he can
to save the lives of negroes who are threat
sned with murderous violence ii they attempt
to vote as they think. That is evidently the
intimidation at the muzzle Of the musket'
of which Governor Garcelon speaks in his
Address. The definition also gives us a clue
to the meaning of our Governor when he
further speaks of intimidation at the door of
the pantry" These same United States
officers who have been basely assailing the
liberty of the white man to kill the negro,
are the men who hunted the white man down
when he persisted in running an illicit still.
As is well known, whiskey is regarded in the
South as one of the prime necessities of life,
something that should be found in every
household, and without which existence is
not worth the having. "Intimidatio1 at the
door OF the pantry" is an assault upon the
closet where the illicit beverage is stored.
Those who have sorely puzzled themselves
over Governor Garcelon's meaning will be
relieved.
1t will be convenient to know as we hear
from time to time Of Republican bu-doz-
ing" just what is meant by the appalling
term. Thanks to Governor Gareelon, aud
the gloss upon the Governors remarks fur
nished by Senator Thurman, we are no
longer in ignorance.

THE Bangor Commercial with Characters
tic consistency rushes to the defense Of the
legal-tender act, and says of the passage in
Governor Garcelon's Address denouncing
that act: SThe passage of his address above
quoted will cause feeling of pain among all
the Governors friends in Eastern Maine !;
not because his views on the financial ques-
ton differ from theirs in relation to the
greenback, but because he has sought to base
his views on an Interpretation of clause of
the Constitution, which is not only entirely
erroneous, but betrays most superficial
reading of that instrument. Such an inter-
probation might be excusable in stump
speaker or newspaper scribbler, in the heat
of a campaign but coming from the Cover
nor of a State IN message to the Legislature
it is open to severe criticism if rot absolute
censure." The Commercial is making des-
perate bid for Greenback support. People
are already curious to know whether it is a
Smith or Garcelon man. I

THE Kennebec Journal says: There is some
curiosity to know who was the author OF the
passage in Gov. Garcelon's message in rela-
ton to national banks. The first copies of
the document sent cut to the press did not
contain that passage. 1t seems to have been
an after-thought, and it hardly seems possible
that the Governor could have been the writer
of such erroneous statements as it contains.
Besides it does not agree with the sentiments

SO far as to say that we are indebted to the
"Ohio idea' for resumption. That is true,
but to the idea of Garfield which was en-
dorsed last October, not to the idea of Pen
dleton, which was repudiated by the people
of Ohio. We are told that the attitude as
sumed by the Conference toward resumption
is one of cordial hopefulness for its success,
The assumption of that attitude by the Ohio
Democracy is the most impudent perform
ance on record.

Y0rick's Drawer

The astronomer of the Kennebunk Star
is another. He confesses that he once went
into bookstore and inquired for bids COM
plete works. He also tells US that ''cant''
perplexed his youthful mind; he always read
it "can't, ,"and was extremely puzzled to un-
derstand its connection with the rest of the
sentence. MISUNDERSTANDING like these are
common to children. Somebody was telling
Yorick the other day of one. The pater fa-
milias in family prayers always addressed his
petitions; "Thou whose right it is to rule
over the heavens aud the earth." The child
for a long time was sorely puzzled to know
what the word 'rytitis" meant. The mis-
takes children make are not usually in con-
versational English, but commonly in book
language-about words they frequently see
in print, but rarely or never hear spoken.
The mystery is that they do not oitener ask
the meaning. They may be shame-faced or
may fear ridicule. In some cases doubtless
they attach meaning to the strange word
and never think to ask if they are right.

"Nell BLY," lis it she who "shus her eye

lenged her to write his epitaph, and she
