and afterwards refused to pay it over to them,

A Word About the Tahulators

PROFESSIONALLY large majority Of the peo-
pie of Maine believe that Governor Garcelon
and his council committed gross fraud in
counting the returns at Augusta last winter,
and not only that, the people believe that
they SO altered and changed the returns as to
make it appear that thirty seven Republican
were defeated when everybody knows they
were elected. The proofs are too convincing
to be ignored. Gov. Garcelon and his council
now stand before the people Of Maine charged
with forgery and fraud in the barefaced and
shameless attempt to reverse the will of the
people as fully and fairly expressed at the
polls last September. To this Indictment
through their mouthpiece, T. M. Fogg they
plead not guilty and the evidence is in on
both sides. On the 18th day of September
next the verdict will be rendered, and by that
verdict the conduct of these men will be con-
demned or approved. What will the verdict
be? Already the mutterings of indignation and
contempt for these men are heard throughout
the length and breadth of the State and moth
ing short of miracle will save them from
utter humiliation. Fusion cannot save them
They are doomed Ere the sun sets on the
18th of September the verdict will be pro-
nounced and that terribly word guilty will be
1ndelibly stamped on the forehead of each and
every one of these men whose very names
have becomea by-word and reproach every
where. Let every friend OF good government,
free ballot and honest count cast his ballot and
thus brand the perpetrators of that outrageous
fraud with the eternal infamy which they SO
richly deserve. HONEST DEMOCRAT.

RALLY AT YARMOUTH.
Sterling Speeches by Hon. R. G. Horr

On Wednesday evening the Republicans of
Yarmouth opened the campaign with one of
the largest meetings ever held in that town. At
sunset beautiful flag was raised 20x33 feet in
size near the Grand Trunk depot.
A concourse of two thousand people was pre-
sent, and was addressed by Hon. W. w.
Thomas, Jr., in brief and spirited speech.
A procession was then formed, which
marched to Masonic Hall, headed by the
Yarmouth band.
Only portion of the vast concourse could
obtain admission to the hall which was packed
to its utmost capacity.
Hon. Charles Humphrey of Yarmouth pre-
sided.
Hon. w. w. Thomas, Jr., of Portland made
a stirring and effective speech of an hours
dura ton and was listened to with intense in
terest.
He was followed by Hon. r. G. Horr of
Michigan Mr. Horn is one of the best stump
speakers that has visited Maine. He is full OF
humor and bristles with salient facts. His
speech occupied over two hours and held the
closest attention of the audience to the close.
Thus ended the most effective political
meeting ever held at Yarmouth.

Briggs. the Ahsconder

Howes, Hilton & Co. of this city, flour deal
ers, were stuck $1400 by Briggs, the Lewiston
trader who defrauded his creditors and whose
arrest was mentioned in Wednesdays PRESS.
They think they shall get their money. Briggs
also owes John Dennis & Co. $500, E. Stead
man & Co. $500 and Williams, Pulsifer & Co.
$50.
1t appears that Briggs bought some $4,000
worth of goods o. Hilton in the past year. and
had, until recently, paid well. Mr.. Hilton, in
April, became convinced that Briggs was do
ing too much business, and he tried to get a
settlement of the S1fO0 balance due. Briggs
promised faithfully to pay $500 on the next
pay day. When that day came he pleaded
sickness, but finally Mr.. Hilton became con-
WINGED that Briggs meant to beat him and he
got out the papers to attach Briggs property.
Mr.. Hilton says Briggs had bought with per-
feet looseness all round. New cases are con-
stantly coming to light of parties he has
swindled. He is probably at least $4,000 to the
bad. Briggs was locked up in Lewiston in de-
