CHANGING An III. To AN A DEFECTIVE
RETURN FROM RoBBISsToS COUNTED.
The Hale investigating committee Fri
day took up the case of the Senatorial re-
turn from the town OF Berwick in York
county. The names of one OF the Repub-
lican candidates for the Senate from that
county was George II. Wakefield and the
return showed that his name was changed
into George A. Wakefield, the II, having
been made into an by loop. John ii.
Stilings, clerk of the town of Berwick,
testified. that he was well acquainted with
Mr. Wakefield and knew his name; in
making up the record ii was with the name
George II. Wakefield upon 1t, and was so
signed and sealed up in open town meet
ing. The return was shown to Mr.. Still
ings, who affirmed that 1t had been changed
since leaving his hand. On examination
OF the book OF tabulati0n for Senator's 1t
was found that Mr.. Wakeaeld's name had
been originally as George II. Wakefield,
and so counted. The same tabulation
showed that the votes cast for Mr.. Wake
field, had been erased, after being correct
" tabulated, and then counted for George
A. Wakefield, thus showing that the Gov
ernor and Council first tabulated the re-
turn from Berwick correctly, but after
wards changed 1t.
z. X. Smart, the counted in Attorney in
Washington, was before the committee.
He acknowledged that he had been in cor
respondence with Pillsbury, Levitt, Stacy
and others that week after the election
he was round over the county getting afil-
davits of bribery admitted that he had
blank Senatorial return sent to him by
some party in Augusta, and before the
election he thought; admitted that he let
the town clerk of Marion have il to nse to
make ont another return, but the clerk re-
fused to use 1t. The return from Robin
ston was made out for John T. Wallace,
Fusion candidate for Senator, leaving the
Jr. from his name. Smart obtained an
affidavit from man who made his mark,
who made oath that he voted for John 7.
Wallace, Jr. The return was shown to
the committee and though 1t was for John
T. Wallace it was counted for John +.
Wallace Jr., and so put in the tabulation
Of Gov. Garcelon and Council. Mr. Smart

DIR CANDIDATE.

from the Lewiston Journal.
The republicans or Maine are very much
in earnest in support or Senator Blaine ;
candidacy, and in few weeks will elect
solid delegation in his favor. They expect
as much aid from the rest OF New Eng
land rs they had In 1876. They are conf
dent OF more strength In the Middle
States, as four years ago New York was
solid and Pennsylvania nearly solid against
him; and now a third OF these delegations
are favorable to him. They got very little
support from the South then, and cannot
have less now. They have already secured
nearly all the congressional delegates
from Indiana, which went solid against
him ia 1876. Ii Is believed that Ohio Will
prefer Blaine 10 any other candidate than
Sherman. They are confident that Michi-
gan will be solid for Blaine, whereas In
ls7G she was divided They look To Wis
consin. Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Cali
forna, Nevada, Oregon aud the territories
10 give him rs united support rs four years
ago. Altogether the outlook is encourag-
ing.
All of the candidates mentioned are so
good men, that unquestlonably the consid-
Grafton that is likely TO control the result
in the cnd, will answer 10 the question
'Who will be the STRONGEST All have
elements of strength and weakness.
Grant Is strong because OF his military
prestige and the fears Of many that the
democrats mean TO repeat the Maine count
ing-out Oh the national scale; but he has
clements OF weakness growing out of the
feelings OF the liberals towards him, and
.ss.. - 20. hA tI.R af a
third term. Sherman is strong because OF
the ability and success with which he has
brought the country up TO resumption and
prosperity; but he Is weak in the lack oil
that personal popularity and magnetism
which 90 so far before the people. Wash
burne Is strong because OF his popularity
among the Germans and his long retire
ment from active politics; but has ele-
mcnts of weakness because OF his nearness
TO Grant. Edmonds Is strong because OF
his great ability and excellent record /;
but weak because of his lack of personal
magnetism.
Blaine has the assailable points which
inevitably attach to any statesman OF pro-
nounced views and incisiye qualities, who
has been in the front OF the great parla-
mentary battles for the past seventeen
years. Such man is always target for
his political enemies, but after all any man
whom the republicans may nominate will
be made equally target Blaine has only
drawn their fire beforehand and warded
it of. Over against these points OF as
sault, Blaine possesses TO higher degree
than any other man mentioned, those per-
sonal, magnetic qualities which draw men
and eulist their active support. No man
in the country will arouse the enthusiasm
of the republican masses to such degree
as Blaine will. His long experience In
public life, his brilliant executive qualities,
his intimate acquaintance with men and
with the details OF government, would Sc
cure one Of the most successful admins
trations ever known.
