There is great interest manifested in marine
circles in this city, New York and st. John

Gently consigned to Ryan & Kelsey, to load
grain.
Both these vessels are bound to Antwerp di-
rect Both have the reputation of being the
fastest ships owned at st. John, and are owned
by two of the leading merchants Of that city,
hence the interest, for each captain has great
many friends who want to see their favorite
come in ahead. Both Of these vessels are lay
ing in the stream and will sail the first chance,
and we shall watch for their arrival with in

The Feeling in Bowdoinham.


The wave of indignation which has justly
stirred the people of this state at the outrag-
eous conduct of the Governor and Council, has
deeply stirred the people Of this town, and it is
the chief topic of interest, while the demon
strations are bitter The sentiment of the
people is that the matter must not be passed in
silence, nor only with gentle rebuke, but ex-
pect that measures will be taken to install in
their office the men that the people elected,
and L may safely say that the people of this
town will not be one whit behind their friends
in other towns in enforcing upon the conspira-
tors the idea that law and order must be re-
spected, and the people obeyed, peaceably
if possible, but obeyed at any rate. The peo-
pie of Bowdoinham are moving in the matter,
and have petitions in circulation, where doubt
less 200 names will be had, to call an ind igna-
ton meeting to be held Friday evening, Dec.
26, to hear an expression from the people,
which shall have some effect upon the con-
spirators. | hope the ball will be kept rolling,
and that no one will be willing to wait for the
result of the ballot box next September for the
same disposition to count out on technalltles
this year will surely find fimsy excuses to
count out next year, with bigger steal in
view. Many crimes have been perpetrated
under the cloak of liberty, but none in the his
of the country furnishes a parallel.

A CODY of the Commercial was shown me to-

wholly incorrect. | never was consulted
about the Skowhegan return, and did not
know anything about it until tonight. Will

general question, without reference to any

the Skowhegan vote until saw the statement
in the Commercial above referred to. | have
given no opinion concerning the power OF the
Governor and Council over the returns, ex-
cept such as would be approved by all sound
lawyers, and as [ am ready to maintain any"

Democrats and Greenbackers as well as Repub-
licans. That is to be reioced over for the
question in dispute is not one of party. success
or failure, but OF the right of the people to
govern themselves. The principle OF repre-
sentative government is at stake, and the man
who fails to express his condemnation of the
wrong done to the State, falters in his duty, is
wanting in patriotism, and false to his obliga-
lions as law abiding citizen:
The undersigned respectfully invite their fellow
citizens of Portland, without regard to party, to
assemble in City Hall, Tuesday evening" Dec. 23d,
at 80 p m, to give voice to the Indignation felt
by all good citizens at the unprecedented outrage

Dvnth OF Hon. !, X. t,ib,on

Few more painful announcement
have reached the Mfaos than that OF
the death Of this excellent citizen,
who ceased to live at ga. m. on Sum
day March goth. We first knew him
70 years ago, when he was teller of
the Exchange Bank of Va. at Abing-
don. He. had previously been for
years Post Master of that town, but
recently had followed the quiet life of
a farmer, having an excellent farm
near Montgomery in this county. In
1860 he was, by the Conservative
Convention which met at Marion,
nominated, and soon thereafter elect
ed to the 4Ist Congress.
MIR. Gibson was man of the high
est moral worth, and while he was al
most universally popular, such was
his modest and retiring nature that
he never sought any position at the
hands of the people. His business
capacity was of a high order and he
was methodical and accurate to an
unusual degree. AS far as we are in
formed he was the only man in this
District on whom seat in Congress,
had to be thrust, and who sternly de-
clined a reelection.
Washington county has lost few
more cultured, bla neless and useful.
citizens than James K. Gibson. May
we see many more, like him.

The Struggle 10, Congress.

The Democrats have both houses OF
Congress and the Readjusters have
the President The Democratic Con
gress is not agreed with the Republi-
can President. The President de.
mands the usual appropriations to run
the army with, and one Of his pur.
poses is to use the army at the polls
in the interest Of the Republican par
~ Congress says to him, "you can
have the money to run the army with,
but you must give up the right to in
tlmidate the voters at the battot box
with it. They mean to make this a
part OF the appropriation bill If
they were to pass the two measures
separately Hayes would veto the one
and sign the other. Congress de-
nandS we shall approve both or veto
both in one bill. The Republicans
say this is revolution. But it appears
that in 1876, when Hayes was in Con.
gress these Republicans did this same
thing. Again in 1879, they passed
in the appropriation bill this very
measure the Democrats now wish to
repeal in the appropriation BILL
The Democracy mean to end these
war measures in time Of peace. This
is the whole of the fight in Congress,
If the army is to be used at the polls
We mean that it shall have no money.
P. S, A card from Hon. J. b.
Richmond informs us the House has
passed the bill 1913 to I2a, and it now
goes TO the Senate.
