Counting out i'm Maine.
AN ADDRESS BY THE DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE.


Blaine, Hapings Conceded the State
after Constant Democratic Gains in
Republican Communities, He Sud
denly Discovers Large Republican
Gdins In Democratic Ioaons.
UnteIe,t in the Maine election continues
n the headquarters of the National
Committees Of both parties. In the Re-
publican Committees room the claim is
still made that Davis has been elected
Governor. Dispatches are shown from
frou Senator Blaine and other Maine
Republicans to substantiate this claim.
The kilograms received at the Demo
cratic headquarters say that Gen. Plais-
ted is undoubtedly elected Governor and
that the Republicans are trying 10 count
him out. Early in the day tie National
Committee received from an officer OF
the D,mJcIa.ic State Committee VI
Maine the following despatch:
PORTLAND, Sept. II, 1880.
To W. Ii. Bd,aun:
Returns from 42S towns give Plaisted
70,O19; Davis, 70,G9S; Republican maj.
oriLy, $40. Same towns in 1876: Opposi
lion, 81, 400; Republ:cao, 72,765; Repub-
lican majority, 1926; Republican loss
14,5S7. There are So towns and pl inta
tioDs to BE- heard FROM. which, in, 1875
gave 342 Democratic majority, and will
now give more than 1000. The Repub
lican papers pretend to claim majorit,
for Davis, and are trying to confuse tn
r. turns to help the attempted fraud, bu
there Is no doubt OF Plais eds election
Soon afterward telegram which wa
sent to Marcus Hanlon, editor of til
Reuieao, a GreenIack newspaper in Ne'
Yoik, by Thompst II. Murch, Demt

from the Fifth District Of Maine, ws
handed to Senator Barnum, Chairma
of the National Committee. 1t rea'
RoCKLAND, Me-, Sept. IT.
Republican rascality IS beyond con
prehension. There is no doubt of q
attempt being made TO couLt Plaiste

Mr.. paxenport's Resignation!

By reference to the letter publish
ed in yesteI days Star it will be seen
that Mr.. John 1. Davenport resigns
his clerkship of the United States
Circuit Court for the avowed reason
that after Oct. his whole time will
be engrossed by the responsibilities
of his other office-namely, the
Chief Surpervisorship of. Elections.
1t may as we'll be clearly under
stood at the outset that these Fed
eral Supervisors and Marshals now
constitute the sheet-anchor of the
Republican party, and that the
powers conferred upon them by
grossly partisan legislation will be
strained to the uttermost degree at
the November elections. Wherever
the shadow of a pretext can be
found on which to base a charge OF
''irregularity," they will seek to in
timidate Democratic citizens, espe-
cially those of foreign birth.
Supervisor Davenport is playing
for a heavy stake. He has more
than once said that he has expended
a handsome private fortune in his
electioneering work, and he keeps on
record an enormous mass of claims
against the Government which he
knows it would be futile to submit
to a Democratic Congress. Should
he ard his coparceners contrlve tt
elect Garfield, some means will be
found to liquidate these claims
hence it is plain that Mr.. Davenport
will labor with the energy OF des
peration. 1900 :.
Naturalized citizens of 1868 should
forestall his crusade, and escape dis
franchisement, as well as insult ano
annoyance, by procuring new GER
tificates if necessary. A committee
has been appointed by the Tammany
Hall Democracy to give assiduou'
attention to this subject, and from
the members all requisite informa
tion and instructions can be obtain
ed throughout the campaign.-N

THE WESTWARD ADVANCE.
m the Spri, gfieid Republican.

From the Sprt' gfieid Republican.
The LatiOn marks q broad band OF
growth 10 the returns of the Public LAID
Office for the last fiscal year, which show
1,455,724 acres sold by pre-emption, o.
070,5O7 taken up under the Homestead
act, and 2,129,7 entered for patent un-
der the Timber act. The first item in
cludes both pre-emptions and the pur-
chase of fracturnal quarter sections ad-
joining homesteads, aud the last indi-
Gates the advance made In timber culti-
vation, any settler who cultivates five
acres III trees receiving 90 acres Of land
for nothing, while the cultivation of 10
acres entities him to $50 acres. Sales
under both these heads may 60 on with
out a direct increase to the population
engaged in eultlvatIng the soil, although
their amount indicates the advance Of
the plough over virgin soil to the feed
ing of the nations. Entries under the
Homestead law score the direct increase
of farmers and farming. Much Of the
land taken up in this way passes into
speculative hands, but the great bulk OF
| il IS held by the men who till 1t. The
sale of over 6,070,507 acres to such men
means a popu alton of from 3OO,OO to
100000 and over newly housed and new
ly homed on the public lands. The i'm
migration to this country In the last fis-
cal year was large and unprecedented,
over 5000 but 1t is more than equal
ed by this advance of population on the
frontier. The addition from abroad
crowds no one, the country is simply SO
much larger.
The sale of public lands a year ago
was justly spoken of unequaled. 1t is
exceeded this year by 173, ,527 acres in
the amount of homestead and timber
culture entries alone, the total Of these
entries in the fiscal year 1870 being
9,026, ,695 acres, and in the year just
closed 8, 8,200,212. Adding to the latter
the pre-emption sales in 1880, gives q
total of 1855, ,927 acres taken up by
settlers under one law and another,
exclusive of mineral claims, desert
land, entries and special warrants.
, Great as is this aggregate, 1t includes
| only portion of the land sales in the
/ year ending June 30, 1880. The sales
! of the great railroad companies of the

The attempted Fraud In MUisse

The National Democratic Committee
has issued the following statement rela-
tive to the election in the state of Maine:
HEADQ'Rs. NAT. Dem. COMMITTEE,
New YokK, Sept. 18th, 1880.
The latest reliable official returns re-
ceived from Maine are as follows: Re-
turns from 428 towns give Plalsted TO-
019, Davis 70,69S; Republican majority
679. In the same towns in 1876 the
opposition vote was 81, 7,499, Republican
72,765; Republican majority Ii, ,2G6. Re
publican loss in 1880, from corresponding
election in 1S76-l4,5e7. There are So
towns aud plantations yet to be heard
from. The relative gain in these towns,
as compai ed with 1876, would give us, at
a low estimate, over 1000 Democra.ic
maj ,riLy.
The Republican manipulators in
Maine are pretending to claim majority
for Davis, and are undoubtedly trying to
doctor the returns to bear out this claim.
II remains to be seen whether theyi pro-
pose to begin in Maine to rein lugu ale
the flauds of 1876 For two days Mr..
Blaine and the Republican leaders COLI
ceded Mr.. Plaisted's election as the Re-
publican party did Tilden's in 1876.
The entire machinery for counting the
votes is in the hands of the Republican
returning board. Usually in past years
it has only required about two days to
ascertain definite results in Maine. This
year all the first returns showed great
Democratic gains. And it was only
when the Republican manipulators ha
stopped the returns coming in and delay
ed them until they could be altered,
that changes were made in favor Of
Davis. AS an Instance, the county
Kennebec which usually completes its
returns in one day, was held back unit
after Thursday. And it is openly as
| serted by a former Republican leader
that the returns are kept back for mani
pulation.
Two of the five Congressman, Murcb
and Ladd, are conceded. Phlbrick,
Democratic candidate in Blaine's dis
trict (the third) while actually elected,
may be counted out by fraud by very
small majority; under one hundred. In
| the first district, Anderson, the Demo-
cratic candidate is practically in the
same position, as the Republicans only
claim majority for Reed of SO; thus
showing that out of five Congressman
| four Democrats were elected. This is
the best criterion by which to judge the
| popular sentiment of the state.
Plaisted Is clearly elected, and can
] only be defeat, by fraudulent count.
The only gains shown by the Repub-
lican party or claimed by them are in
| Democratic counties inaccessible by tel
| egraph and away from the lines of rail-
ways. The best evidence of the fraud
proposed to be perpetr ated, is the facl
That while the fusion ticket showed
large gains all over the state 10 Repub-
licdn cities and counties, the Republi-
can gain is claimed in Democratic couI.-

A DEFAULTER.

Major Nelson, Paymaster U. 8. A.,
was ordered, almost three weeks ago,
from New York TO Fort Leavenworth
Before leaving, he turned over, as is
customary, the balance supposed to be
necessary to meet his outsl anding
checks. Soon after lie left, several
checks which he had given for the
payment OF army officers were dishon-
ored, there being no funds to his cred
it. He was ordered to Washington to
explain the discrepancy, and left Fort
Leavenworth on the 18th instant. He
should have arrived in Washington
last Monday, but has failed to report
either in person or by letter. 1t is not
believed at the Paymaster General .
Office that his defalcation will exceed
six or eight thousand dollars.
