Look out for Democratic Frauds.

Republicans must be on their guard
against democratic frauds at the election.
There is no device or trick or cheat to
which the democracy will not resort to
increase their vote. Repeating double vot-
ing. deeeiving the unwary by circulating
split and fraudulent tickets, are all recog-
nized democratic methods of operating on
election day, and will all be tried where
they can be made to work. A party that
will attempt to steal State will resort to
any base means to carry an election
Watch them closely.

Mayor.
Aldermen.
Attest
City Clerk.


Having in one case taken advantage of
an error so slight that it could have no
effect on the result, and in the others used
their own crime as means of disfran-
chising the cities, then the conspirators
coolly announced that the final determine
ton would be left to the Legislature, and
then by similar means proceeded to pack
the Legislature so that there could be no
doubt rs to what the final determination
would be. They intended plainly that
those cities with their twelve Representa-
tives should be without representation so
long as 1t should appear unsafe to their
schemes to admit them.
Let the tax payers take notice OF the
great wrong which would be committed
by the general application of such a
dogma to our political system as this
Garcelon junto adopted. The vote OF
these cities thus totally thrown out is
about 5,00O-nearly one-eighth of the
total vote of the State Their total popu-
lation is about $4,000. or one-eighth OF
the entire population of the State Their
taxable valuation is probably SIXTY
MILLION DOLLARS 600. 900,
about one quarter Of the total radiation Of
the State.
Now if tabulating boards of State Off
Gals can so far forget themselves as to
disfranchise this important element in our
State, why might they not throw out any
and all elements that suited the conven-
fence of their schemes? Why might they
not throw out the Representatives of the
agricultural towns, and thus give them no
voice in the making of laws or the appor-
tionment of taxation?
The Garcelon gang of tabulators vio-
lated one of the vital principles Of our
government when they committed this
great offence, and now they ask us to en-
dorse them by sending to Congress one of
the fraudulent tabulators (Fogg), three
others who bounded on the great larceny
(Ladd, Philbrick and Murch), and to elect
for Governor one who endorsed them
(Plaisted). and to ..vindicate'' other State
stealers, like Frank Hill and S. S. Brown,
by electing them to the Senate.
Voters Of Maine, you cannot so far stul-
tify yourselves as to do this thing!

Vote the Straight Ticket.

The caucuses and conventions are the
places to settle disputes about nomina-
tons. When the nominations are fairly
made they are binding upon the party.
This is the rule of all party organizations.
No party can exist that does not observe
it. In urging republicans to vote the
straight ticket we do not urge it because
of personal friendship or anything of that
sort for the candidates, but because the
life and success of the principles of the
party are dependent upon the observance
of this rule. So we say, vote the straight

Boiling Tickets.

Ballots are being prepared with the
name of Carleton omitted and Baker
substituted. TO be sent to every town in this
county. Remember that this is boiling
ticket. Carleton is the republican csndi-
date, rightfully nominated. without objec-
ton. and entitled to the support OF every
republican. Look out for the boiling
tickets, vote for Carleton, and see that
others vote the straight ticket. Those
who preferred some other person to Mr..
Carleton as Judge of Probate should have
made their opposition to him at the con-
vention. Every straight republican will
vote for Carleton. A vote for Baker is
half vote for Bean. for Baker stands no
possible chance of election.

Pillsbury on Contingent.

Eben +. Pillsbury was very severe on
the Contingent business in the fall of
1873. His organ the Maine Standard
teemed weekly with articles about it. His
confidential" circular was distributed
over the State to put his friends on the
alert against an imaginary count-out by
Governor Conner and Council In an ar
ticle in the Standard of Oct. II, 1873, he
said.
Whether our Maine returning board intend
to follow the brilliant example of their Louis
lana prototype, remains to be seen. There
are, however, rumors in the air that it medi
tates doing so, and proposes to accomplish its
eoup-d etat by Withholding certificates from
enough democratic and greenback members
elect to the Legislature. to give the republi-
cans the House in the organization, and then
to elect Connor and fill the State offices be
fore the contested seats in the House are set
tied.
SO But as at present advised we take very
little stock in these rumors.
In the FIRST place the republican eonspira-
tors, If there are any such, DARE not make
the attempt
And in the second place it would be a MIS-
ERABLE FAILURE If made.
The people of Maine CANNOT BE
DEFRACDED OF THEIR POLITICAL
RIGHTS. The country has been cheated
out of the Presidency. The State of Maine
CANNOT BE SwINDLED IN A SIMILAR
WAY. They knor their rights and dare
to maintain them. The party that invokes
the wind WILL REAP THE WHIRL-
WIND.
This was Eben +. Pillsbury in 1873. on
the counting out business. Now, mark
you, the imaginary scheme which he de-
nounced as above was infinitely less wick
ed than the one which Pillsbury. Garcelon
Il Co. attempted to carry out the next
year, for while Connor could have made
himself Governor again by counting out
some half dozen members of the House,
it was necessary for Garcelon and Council
to count out THIRTY SEVEN republicans
distributed in both branches of the Legis-
lature to give them control of the State
government another year.
The relative honesty Of the two parties
is fairly shown by this example. Gov.
Connor and Council would not count out
one man unjustly to retain the power they
held, but Garcelon and Council had no
scruples about contingent THIRTY
SEVEN republicans and putting thirty
seven democrats into the stolen seats.
Pillsbury was terribly exercised lest
Gov. Connor should count ont somebody,
as appears by the above article from his
paper; but the enormous Garcelonian
Count-out. the most gigantic election
fraud on record in any Northern State ex-
cept New York, he participated in and de-
tends.
One or two predictions which he made
above are proving prophetic; first. that
the people of Maine cannot be swindled
by any attempt to cheat them out of an
honest election; second, that the party
that invokes the wind WILL REAP THE
WHIRLWIND. Let Pillsbury get ready
for the whirlwind next Monday.

From the Honest Truth.
An Ugly Phase of the COunt-Out
Conspiracy.

1t is essential to the welfare of Repub-
lican institutions-it is absolutely neces-
sary-that the spirit of the National Con-
stitution be preserved, so that taxation
and representation shall go hand in hand,
for taxation without representation Is a
phase of despotic. government. One OF
the more marked features of the counting
out conspiracy of last year was the utter
disregard in which its perpetrators held
this principle. The disfranchisement OF
the cities was very ugly case in point.
The city of Portland was adjudged by
the Garcelonian conspirators to be I'M
worthy of representation in the lower
House of the Legislature, because of a
slight intormality in the return. Several
votes were returned as scattering" in
stead of for any person. Their omission
or counting for any candidate would not
have changed the result in any respect.
But the Republicans had a fair majority,
and the tabuators saw in this sufficient
reason for throwing away the whole vote
of Portland. and refusing certificates to
her five Representatives.
The cities of Lewiston, with three Rep
resentatives Bath one; Rockland two ;
Saco one, were rejected and disfranchised
on tire ground that the returns were
signed by less than majority of the
Aldermen. and this result was reached by
the fraud perpetrated by f. F. Pillsbury
in sending out those defective blanks for
returns, calling for only three Aldermen's
signatures, thus:

day resulted most disastrously to them. I,

has been such uneasiness in the Argus and
Pasriot poultry yards for some DAYS past as
to indicate that peril was imminent. but the
half was not foreshadowed. The reality ex-
ceeds the worst fears of the mos,
prudent apd far-seeing. In Montpelier, at an
early hour last evening. the magnitude of the
disaster to democratic politicians and demo-
cratic prospects became so apparent that
there was a conspicuous absence eff members
ofthe party from the news ceIters, while the
republicans were present in full and iubilant
numbers. One by one the democrats. with
elongated faces. draped themselves in the in
sigma of their defeat, from Bellw Gather and
Fat Boy down to the most mental of his
henchmen. and stole silently away, chanting
as they went. We all do fade As a
leaf The result of the storm upon the Argus
poultry was very severe. nearly every bird in
the yard was either killed or wounded. and
up TO this time the whole corps of democrat
&c professors. surgeons, taxdermists and la
borers have been busy in burying the dead
and in nursing the sick and wounded. The
purpose is understood to be to rebuild and
repair the birds in the hope of selling them
to republicans for November use. and so
save something from the calamity to paw
campaign bills with. I may say, however in
passing, the game will not work; the repub
