vogue, though not perfect, is as fair and
equitable as it ia possible under our consti-
tuition to make it. 10 change it for parti-
san purpose at this time-for the purpose of
preventing the people of the country from
choosing their own rulers in the customary

people who by that means are to be do
prived of their right to representation in the

It may be we'll to speak word of warning
to those who have already once defrauded
the people of their choice OF President,
and who are preparing at the present tune
to repeat the robbery. The American PEG.
pie are a long suffering race. They prefer
generally to endure disfranohisement rather
than stir up.civil oommotion in vindication
of their rights But there is limit to their
forbearance, and that limit will certainly be
reached if the attempt is made by the means
indicated, or any othar, to again cheat the
people out of the Presidency. The election
of November next must be cond ucted hon
estly under the forms of law that have pre-.
vailed in the past, and any deviation from
that course, which shall result in reversing
the verdict rendered at the polls, will
produce storm that will not be allayed OK
cept after the rights of the people have been
fully indicated and established.
The Republican party is desperate, and
will resort to any means, no matter how
despicable, to maintain possession of the
government. 1t is aware of the fact thai
the popular tide has turned against it, and
that it will be impossible for it to succeed
in 1880 without resort to fraud or revolu.
ton. 1t seems to have determined to en-
ploy both. Ever and anon We hear Iautter
ings of how this or that venerable tradition
will be overturned to assure partisan success
and we see the leading men of the party
working tooth and nail with that object il
view. But their schemes are bound to fail
Treason to the republic will be crushed ou
with strong arm, fact that the Repub
lican revolutionists will learn to their sor
row, before they have proceeded far in theil
enterprises.

THE NAME WESS.

For several weeks past the Republican
press of the country have been fairly afame
with denunoiation of what they have chosen
to denominste tue outrage about to be per-
petrated upon the electors OF Maine by Gov.
Garcelon and the council. The governor and
council, it will be remembered, discovered
some gross Irregularities in the returns from
several Of the counties which put the seats
of several Senators and Representatives in
jeopardy. These gentlemen claimed that
they had the right to examine those returns
and make such corrections as might be nee
essary, but this right was denied by the can
Wasting board. Ar appeal to the courts was
had, and Republican judge of the supreme
court decided the law under which the right
of revision and correction was claimed to be
unconstitutional.
There can be but one honest opinion on
this matter, and that will sustain the COVER
nor and council. When persons making re-
turns of the votes cast st elections, are SO
ignorant or neglectful of the law as to per-
petrate irregularities that are fatal to the le-
gality Of the elestion, they do not deserve
the privilege of revising their action. Such
acts are fraught with great danger, for an
opportunity is given the officers at such
times to alter the figures in such manner as
would defraud the majority of their rights.
They may not embrace the chance, but it is
dangerous opportunity to give them. Alb
solute correctness in such matters is allies
sentia]. If a man is careless of his duty
under the law, he must take the RESPONSE
bility, and it is absolute idiocy to charge
those who enforce the law with the blame
of whatever of wrong may be done as con-
sequence OF the neglect or ignorance of the
original offenders.
If Gov. Garcelon had permitted the Re
publican candidates to revise and amend the
returns affecting them after they had reached
the hands of the returning board, he could not
have refused like privilege to the Demo-
cratic and Greenback candidates. The result
would probably have been that few of the
original returns would have remained in the
hands of the board, and there would have
been very general dissatisfaction all over
the State and country. 1t is evident that if
the governor has erred at all his error has
been on the safe side. He has decided that
all returns that are not radically imperfect
will be counted, but that those that show
imperfections that are vital under a liberal
construction of the law shall be thrown out.
There is no probability that the political
complexion of the State will be changed by
such q course, and We believe the common
sense of the country will sustain this action,

THERE is a law on the statute books, passed
in 1893, of the existence of which few per-
sons have any knowledge. 1t is an act which
forbids any person holding any Office or any
stock in institutions of the nature of bank
for issuing OR disoounting bills or notes
payable to order or to bearer, from holding
a seat in the Senate or House Of Represen-
tatives. This law has never been repealed.
and is still of force, though of late years no
effort to enforce it has been made. If it's
provisions should be enforced to-day there
would not be quorum in either house of
Congress. But as long as the law is on the
statute books it ought to be fully respected.

BLAINE he's scored point upon Sherman
that will probably stand him in good stead
in the Presidential race upon which he has
started. In recent interview published in
the Boston Journal he takes strong ground
against the recommendations of Sherman
and Hayes as to depriving the greenback of
its legal tender quality, and gives many
strong reasons why this currency should re-
main as it is, a full legal tender for all debts
save interest on the public debt and duties
on imports, if not still further elevated to a
full legal tender for all purposes. In this
point Mr.. Blaine is eminently sound, and if
he adheres to these views Sherman will stand
no chance whatever against him.
