Maine, with regard to the juggling, of the
election returns by Governor Garcelon and
his gang, is frankly expressed in the
speeches at their enthusiastic meetings to
support the fraud. They frankly state that
they have counted out the majority of the
electors, and this achievement gives them
great enthusiasm. The speakers declare that
the members who have been refused certifi-
Gates received a majority of the votes. and the
meetings are all the more enthusiastic over
the action because it beats the majority.
This is the true spirit OF the Democratic
party. Gov. Garcelon is its hero OF the
hour. Therefore do we agree with our
special correspondent at Augusta, that the
supposition that the Democrats will be
taken with spasm Of honesty, and that
members who have received fraudulent
certificates will yield their seats to those
who were elected, is preposterous.-The
bridges over the Mississippi and Ohio are
structures which would be accounted great
in Europe. That at st. Louis has single
span of an iron arch of five hundred feet,
and the sinking of the piers was
a great achievement of engineering
genius. The Cincinnati & New
port Bridge has channel span of 400 feet
the longest span of truss bridge then In
the world. The Cincinnati Southern Rail-
road Bridge--also an iron truss-has the
colossal span of 500 feet. These bridges
are 100 feet above low wateE The bridge
over the Firth of Tay had in its longest
spans only 245 feet These were trusses,
88 feet above water, and it was one OF these
that gave way with the train. Judging by
results We may conclude that the Ameri-

manded by the Constitution that the Gov.

them, and should declare who appear to

against the Republicans, and, of course,

they can 20 into the Legislature and elect
Garfield in spite of any caucus which may
