What are you gong to do About it.

According to the dispatches the. Repub-
Ii cans who deliberately falsifed returns
from more than dozen counties in Maine.
in order to secure Republican legislature
are likely to be checkmated and beaten at
their own game It is highly probable
that Gov. Garcelon and the council will
throw out the illegal vote OF several pre-
cincts where there exists undoubted evl-
denee of Republican frauds, and there is
great gathering of the stalwarts to PRO
test" It strikes US very forcibly just at
this time, that, when in 1876 the Republi-
can party deliberately counted i'm Hayes.
and the Democrats entered protest"
the Republican managers wanted to know
what we were going to do about it? The
difference between Maine and louisiana is
this. La Louisiana there was no evidence
of Democratic fraud ;sno attempt made
to prove that there was; no Democratic
testimony was received or if it was, it was
thrown aside and not considered. When
the Democrats of the country begged to be
heard, their protests received no answer
their appeals were unheeded and the state
deliberately turned over to Hayes in the
face of $4,000 Democratic majority. In
Maine, the Republicans deliberately
stuffed the ballot boxes. falsi6ed the returns
and returned fiveRepublican senator elected
who were known to be defeated, and whose
defeat was admitted when the polls closed.
By the peculiar tactics of the stalwarts
the result was reversed and the. FIVE
elected were counted out. Governor
Garcelon and his council are now undoing
the wrong by counting in the rightfully
elected candidates. 1t is to be deplored
that politics have reached that stage of
management, but as the Republicans
themselves inaugurated the new era. it is
we'll enough to let them have q dose Of
their own medicine. 1t may be unpalat-
able, to the stalwart leaders but 10 the
language Of Chandler, 10 1876, after the
Louisiana returning board steal-we say
to the staiwart managers. What are you
going to do about it? How do you relish
the looks of the fowl after its return to the
original ro0st? The stalwarts in Maine
are likely to be hoist by their own petard.
They overreached this time and now they
will have TO dance to unpleasant music

The Msssasot House, near the Railroad Stations,
was established in 1913. 1t has been twice en-
larged, making it three times its original size, and
thoroughly remodeled and refurnished. The large

The New York Herald asks the ques-
ton, will Mr.. Blaine 60 south?'' and
then says, here it is nearly the middle Of
Noyemb Der, and the Louisiana election is to
be held on the ID of December. and tn e
Louisiana Republicans are shouting Justify
for help from the north. and not single
northern Republican speaker has gone
down to help carry state which only
awaits their appearance to 60 Republican
What is the matter? Can it be true
solid south for next year7 Do
they want Louisiana to go Demo-
cratic, SO as to use her as
an example and awful warning in 1880?
1t looks very much as though that was
their purpose; but do they imagine the
American people are set of fools, or tn at
they do not read the newspapers?
Why does not Mr.. Blame go to New
Orleans and make one of his rafting
speeches? Mr.. ConkIing has malarial
fever, and is. of course, out of the fed.
But why should not Secretary Sherman
run down to Louisiana for week or two?
or General Garfeld2 or Secretary Evarts?
or Governor Foster? or Senator iIoar? or
any other of a dozen Republican great
men, any two of whom. it they would can
vass the state for two weeks, could carry
it for the Republicans? It will not do for
you, next year, gentlemen, to talk about
the solid south, when your own Efforts this
year would break the southern line. There
has been a rumor that Mr., Blaine was
thinking of a journey to New Orleans. We
should like to hear that this rumor is cor
rect. Mr., Baine's appearance 10 a south
ern state, and particularly in Louisiana at
this time, would be very important and
fruitful political event; and Mr.. Blaine
ought to be shrewd enough to know this

why q letter Don't go.

Because you forgot to address it.
Because you forgot to stampi it.
Because you forgot to write the
town or State on the envelope.
Because you don't write the street
and number plainly.
Because you didn't put three cents
on the letter for every half ounce or
fractional part thereof.
Because you cut an envelope stamp
and pasted it on your letter.
Because you used internal revenue
stamps instead Of postage stamps.
Because you used Old out of date
STAMPS.
Because you used f1reign stamp.
Because you wrote the address 80
badly that no one could read it.
Because you wrote the address on
on the top of the envelope and it was
surely obliterated by the postoffice
dating, receiving and cancelliDg
stamps.
And because you put your letter in q
blank envelope, and sealed it and for
warded it tO-the dead letter office,
where thousands upon thousands OF
valuable letters are daily destroyed, be-
cause the people are either careless or
ignorant of p stal LAVE.
