According to the Lewiston Journal
there Is charitable impression that
Gov. Garcelon himself don't know whist
has been done by some OF the men who
have been manipulating The returns, and
has been persuaded by them that he is
being insulied BY this charge, when
his plain duty is to look after charges
affecting subordinates.
Some Of the fusionists confess that
they are bringing the Governor up step
by step to their plans, by persuading
him that he is being insulted and bull
dozcd by any republican who comes
near to look after his rights in the can
vsss. When he shows UNIV arrsnted in
dignation over anything that may occur,
they stuff him BY styling him "a second
Jackson" and have really made him
believe that he is walking in the foot

he even believes that the decision to set
aside the law OF 1877, is Jscksonian, and
entirely consistent with his claim that
he proposes to follow the law.
