The Governor and Council counted out
the Associated Press, last night. in giving
out reports of the result of the election
count-out. A formal vote, we understand,
was passed by the body, excluding the
agent from having the report. As the As
sociated Press would have given their in
famous doings wide publicity, they had
good reason for not wishing it to carry
the news. 1t appears that they begin to
understand at last how odious they have
rendered themselves.

If the report from Augusta proves true

that rs democratic and greenback representa-.
tives are elected by the legal returns, and &C

shows what a surprising epidemic of blunder.
ing there was by republican election officers
-Argus
Yes, "surprising' indeed; altogether
too ''surprising''to make belief in it pos.
sible. But what is more surprising" is
that the epidemic failed to have any effec,
upon the democratic election officers
Epidemics seldom manifest such .sur
prising" partiality for one political party
If the epidemic of laundering" had acted
impartially upon both parties there would
have been good deal less surprise thar

The stalwart press is making a great howl
over Mr.. Rounds offer to prove that some
parties connected with the State administers
tion. have tempered with the returns, and
made certain alterations in the same. We
pronounce this absolutely false in every par
ticular, as no one has had any possible chance
to do what is alleged. But this howl has got
to be kept up all the time, for as Mr.. Blaine
remarked, the other day, the minds Of the
people have got to be prepared for the next
years campaign.-North Star.
The above is from the columns of the
paper owned and edited by +. G.. Parker,
one Of the Executive Council, who have
just completed the most fragrant piece Of
usurpafon and fraud known in this coun-
try. Mr.. Parker ought to remember that
Mr.. Rounds petitioned for hearing before
the Council on his charges, and that peti-
ton after petition was sent to the Council
by some OF our most respectable citizens
in various towns and cities of the State to
give MIR. Rounds a hearing, but no hear.
ing has TO this day been allowed. Whyf
Because the Governor and Council did moi
dare to do it. What base, cowardly
thing 1t is then for Parker to write his pa.
per that these charges are "absolutely
false" while as a member of the Council
he has not dared to open his mouth in favor
Of giving Mr.. Rounds hearing. If those
charges are false, investigation would
show 1t, but the Governor and Council re.
fused to investigate, and the Legitimate in
ference from such refusal is that the charg
% are true.
