low had been arrested, since election, and
brought before U. S. Commissioner Rand on a
charge of selling liquor without a government
license. The charge was preferred by Emma
Hewlett, "a woman toerably we'll known in Port
land and rested upon her testimony. Mr. Harlow
was discharged because he was found innocent.
Presumably the Globe commissioner "inter-
viewed Emma Hewlett while prosecuting his
researches in the neighborhood of Stafford
Block. This was enough to 'settle" the Globe
story; but to make assurance doubly sure, Mr..
Harlow was seen and the following sworn
statement obtained
STATE OF MAINE.
CUMBERLAND IS.
On this seventeenth day of November, 1879 per-
sonally appeared before me, Justice of the Peace
and of the Quorum, in and for the said county duly
ing to be Sas F. Harlow and being first duly
the following statment made by him, and by me
written, was signed and sworn to by the deponent

Justice of the Peace.

Thus the only statement made by the Globe,
the truth of which could be verified or dis
proved, was found to be false. Presumably
the others are equally false. They are certain
ly worthy of no notice until further circum-
stances, and the names at least of the persons
implicated, are given.
The yarn in regard to Westbrook can be
briefly dismissed. OF the selectmen of that
town two are Greenbackers and one a Demo-
GRAFT These selectmen had full control of the
voting lists and the ballot-boxes, and it is ri
diculous to assume that they permitted any
Republican to vote whose claim to the right
was doubtful. Indeed their partizanship was
so strong that, contrary to the custom, they
refused to admit to the desk representative
selected by their opponents. and had the count
all to themselves. The gentleman by the name
of Dana had clear right to vote in West
brook. If vote given for one was counted for
another that was the fault of the fusion select
men. and not a case of Republican cussed-

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
PLUCK VS.. GOOD LUCK.

PLUCK VS.. GOOD LUCK.
Last evening Rev. J. O. Peck, D. D. of
Brooklyn, N. Y, discoursed some two hours to
a fair audience in Pine street church, on the
above subject. The doctor is man of fine
build and commanding appearance, and has
every characteristic, we should judge, to sue
cessfully lecture upon such topic. His re-
marks were illustrated by incidents of grave
as well as comic nature, and kept his hearers
in good humor throughout. Pluck, he thinks
is not natural but an acquired talent, and is
possessed by only small number OF people.
1t may exist in person in lowly situation as
we'll as in those high in power. 1t is some
thing in the souls of persons which prompts
them to project themselves forward in the
world in steadfast, right-achieving, wrong
disdaining manner, and is characteristic III
man which prompts one to exclaim at the close
of his life, HE was man." Good luck is
only to be acquired by persistent, hard work
and the right application of pluck in all BUSH
ness transactions The speaker does not be-
lieve mortal was ever born possessed OF good
luck" as it is termed, but their every success is
brought about through the effort of steady APP
plicaton, hard and untiring effort, and honest
purpose.
SPACE at our command will not permit an
extended report of DR. Peck'S remarks. Suf-
of his hearers throughout and delivered a
most able lecture.
INGERSoLLISM.
The Hon. George r. Vending came to us
magnifcently advertised, and he has gone
away thoroughly meeting our high expecta-
tons. AS an orator he has few peers, and he
handles his logic with mastery grasp. With
disclaimer of any personal attack upon the
gentleman who furnishes the name for his lee
ture, he discussed the claims of Christianity
from business, governmental and social point
of view. His we'll chosen description of Col.
Ingersoll and an avowal of the personal purity
and honor of his opponent, was key note to
the character of the speech-non-abusive and
non-personal. But the way he fiayed humid
red-headed infdelity was an effort that few
will forget, who had the pleasure of listening
to him.

The above instalment of Mrs. Perkins
Story" advertised for q week past, has put
the reporters of the Press to some trouble.
The hunt for the evidence was in every case,
save one fruitless, and in that the story of the
Globe commissioner was completely disproved.
The old maxim, false in one thing false in all,
may well be applied here, and we must judge
of the ass by his ears which he plainly ex-
hibits in the Harlow case.
| 1t was obviously impracticable to question
all the prominent business men of Portland Or
even the ninety-odd men by the name of Libby
whose names appear in the city directory as to
whether or not they had brbed or had been
| bribed. What could De done was done. Our
repor ters were unable to find, after long and
earnest Search and calls at many houses and
work shops any man or to learn of any man
bearing the names given by the Globe, who
knew Of any case of bribery Or intimidation on
the part of Republicans

was that of the imam named Harlow To

case was Atried, if tried, the PRESS requested
