Ir auy one city was ever thoroughly
csntured by one man and laid at his feet,
that city is Philadelphia. Gen. Grants
.Dtrv into it was like the march of
triumphant Roman conoueror. Such
,csne was never witnessed before in this
country of procession that required
half day to pass given point, having in
the single item of music alone one hundred
and ten bands, itself an army Of from
+hrsa To four thousand men. And then,
tbs display of our national colors could be
counted by the tens of Thousands, and the
people by hundreds of thousands. Nor
did end with this day alone. Every day since
bo. bsen the occasion of q Grant demon.
stration. In the meantime, on the great
Question that has perplsxed the Nation
and ON which he has been as expression
lass as a Sphinx,-his candidacy for the
Presidency again-there is still much the
same doubt and uncertainty; some friends
asserting and others denying his willing
mass to become candidate. The indica'
tons this week, from actions rather than
words are. that he is more than the people
supposed in the hands of the politicians
1t would seem that having reaped all the
honors that the country could give and
homage that the people can hsstow, he
would rest on his laurels amid the affsc
ton of grateful Nation rather than steE
down into the dirty pool of politics. II
taking such step, if he should, he ha'
much to lose and nothing to gain.
Smyrna times., 1879-12-24

stsr meeting was held in Bangor, at which
Senator tamlin and others made speeches
in denunciation Of the action of the
Governor and council. Senator Hanllin
said if the people would allow those officials
thus to do what they had no right to do
there was nothing in the name of "repub-
lie" but robbery and fraud. "But," he
said, "there is a moral power in the free
men of Maine before which rascality will
quail" and they will assert their rights by
swearing that "the government of Maine
SHALL not be subverted by any body of
man whatever" Resolutions were passed
declaring "that successful effort to de.
prive the people of their votes is treason y
"that by defiance of the will of the people
the Governor and council justly forfeited
the confidence and respect of the people,
and that it is the duty of good citizens to
unite in denouncing this infamy, and
taking such measures as will prevent the
threatened crime against the supremacy of
the people" indignation meetings were
held also at Skowhegan, Hallowell and
other places. The resolutions passed at
Hallowsll call on those rejected at the
polls, but counted in, not to take their
seats in the Legislature. Gov. Garcelon
has written letter in defense of the action
of himself and colleagues of the council
maintaining that they have simply acted
strictly in accordance with the require
ments Of the constitution.

Smyrna times., 1879-12-24

The Delavare Gazette has two codes of
morals. On the rules and regulations
affecting the morals and habits of society
in general, there is a strictness almost as II
a descendent of the Puritans land this has
been to it tower of strength, but in party
matters, the only principal it seems to be
governed by is success, without ever quss-
tioning the means by which it may be OBJ.
tanned. The controlling principal seems
to be that its party can never do wrong and
its opponents can never do right. 1t looks
strange, after its weekly diatribes of three
years at the fraud and usurpation of the
Returning Boards of Louisiana and Florida,
to deliberately turn around and uphold a
similar act in Maine where they hadn't the
excuse even of intimidation" If the
Gazette would link its common morals with
its political, it ight be better and more
exemplary teacher. 1t was known before
hand Just how the Gazette would stand
Even the DeZawarean that is not usually
given to squirting puts in an "if' and says
1--WE always have and always will condemn
dishonesty in politics, and if the Democratic
Governor and council of Maine have violated
the law, or have thrown out returns merely
for the purpose of enabling the fusior
party to organize the legislature, then the!
deserved the censure of all msn."
The Salisbury Advertiser still more EN-
phatically condemns the affair and tn
Cecil Democrat, always strongly edited, says
"No honest Democrat can read with
relish the news Of the manipulations of tn
election returns in Maine and the defeat {
the Republicans upon what appear to I
technical grounds"
In the face of these and hundreds
other similar declarations, the Gazette sa!
they did right, and "sticks to it right
wrong"
