PORTLAND, Nov. ~, lSs0.
In your Issue or the 18th you copy from
the Press that the Republican bonfire on
Streaked Mountain was seen from the
Observatory on the evening or Nov. 10.
The members OF the White Mountain
Club living here, were much surprised TO
read the item In the Press as none OF them
had ever been able To discover the noun
tain by daylight from any point In the city.
A careful search for 1t since the bonfire
has confirmed US that that the mountain Is
hidden. What the light was that Mr..
y ork, the gentlemanly keeper of the OBJ
servatory, saw, has not yet been deter
mined, and We will not trouble your read
ers with questions OF refraction, etc, that
have been discussed by the club.
We certainly can see Streaked Mt from
the hill outside the city, and we also can
see other peaks which have not yet been
identified viii you please request the
good people of Oxford County that when
ever any Of them for any reason propose
To build n lire at night oil mountain top,
10 send notice OF time and place to Whue
Mountain Club, Portland. We will then
be on the lookout with compass and
telescope, ard so learn with certainty what
1t Is we see, and will return the favor in
some way. j. NJ c.

REPUBLICAN FAIRNESS CONTRAST
ED WITH FUSION FRAUD.

The Governor aud Council have can
vaSSei the votes for Senators, Representa-
tives and County officers. The officers
elected are the same rs heretofore an
uounced. There are several defective"
returns. aud In remarkable contrast 10 last
years experience, they are mostly from
Fusion towns. There Is but one return
that is fatally defective" and il comes
from the town OF Fort kent-the bailiwick
OF Major William Dickey, the King OF all
the Madawaskians. The clerk ofthe town
neglected 70 sign the return. This would
invalidate the return and count out Maj.
Dickey, who has been chosen Representa-
tive from that district. Should this
course be pursued, it would be the height
of poetic justice, as the Major was one OF
the leading advisers in the counting out
conspiracy OF Garcelon ct ais, having
FASTENED from the distant state of Texas,
in the incipiency OF the scheme TO give the
weight of his counsel aud advice. He was
also one OF the sidewalk and Union Hall
members OF the Joe Smith Legislature, and
held out until the thing was bursted by the
Supreme Court and then came crawling
back into the legal Legislature, with his
carpet-bag stuffed with resolves making ap-
preparations for the building OF roads and
bridges and what-not in Aroostook. But
did the Republican Governor and Council
administer 20 Major Dickey dose OF his
own medicineg Not bit OF IL. Instead
OF counting him out, they notified him Of
the mistake and gave him an opportunity
10 correct the return. Republicans do not
adopt the schemes of conspirators. Their
effort is To sustain the vote of the people,
and not 10 defeat it,.
The Argus has commented on the
above, and declared that the defective
return did not affect Dickeys election.
But the official figures prove that if the
return had been rejected, Dickey would
have been defeated by nearly so votes.

Mr.. Doe, Mr.. Jackson, Mr.. Cook, and
some other citizens examined the school
house last Saturday. They find the outer
brick wall In very bad condition, and our
people may a. well begin now to think
about new school house. There Is no
present danger from this building, as the
inner wall has not sprung out any since the
building was repaired, seven years ago
but it will not stand the frosts OF many
more winters. A new building will be nee
essary on another score than that OF safety

there Is not sufficient room to accommo-
date them in the present building.

L. S. SENAToR.-Hon. T. b. Reed has
withdrawn his candidacy for the United
States Senate, on the ground that the
measre Republican majority in his Dis
trict renders such candidacy perilous TO
the party interests, 10 view of the present
political complexion of the National House.
Mr. Reed has taken a wise course and one
which will be generally commended by
his party friends. He is needed in the
House, where he has already won place
among the foremost members Of that body.
This leaves the Senatorial field practically
clear TO Hon. VIM. p. Frye and Hon.
Eugene Hale. Among the rank and file Of
the party in this section of the State the
sentiment appears TO be favorable TO Frye,
who is a man OF commanding ability and
with really brilliant public record, has a
very strong hold upon the people. Frye's
District has steadily given handsome
Republican majority,-this year about 1900,
which is certainly TO Mr.. Frye's credit,
considering that Mr.. Hale's district went
down at the very first attack of the green
back forces.-BridgtOn Neies.
Congressman Reed OF Portland, has
written letter TO the Portland Press, with
drawing his name from the canvass for
the senatorship in Maine. A Portland
correspondent of the Boston Irdreller says
that as Senator Hamlin has announced his
purpose to withdraw from office at the
close of his term in March, this leaves
the contest for the Senatorship between
Messrs. Frye and Hale, although the
names OF Gen. Chamberlain and Gov.
Davis have also been suggested. The cor
respondent speaks highly of Mr.. Hale, and
says OF Mr.. Frye, that she is popular
throughout the State, and is continually
growing in favor. His marked abilities
are well known and appreciated, and it
may be truly said that the people Of Maine
are proud Of him, and the high stand he
has taken in Congress. "-Letcist0n Journal.

"Ohio Is a great State. The scene in the
Union depot yesterday noon proved that.
One Of her sons, Fremonter, stood on
the rear platform Of a car, shaking hands
with his friends, when another Ohio man,
a g-asted, Mentor farmer, came through
the crowd and offered his hand with the
rest. One was simply President of the
United States, aud the other President
elect. The two were part Of the group
of American citizens. Not United States
soldier was stationed nearer to them than
Columbus. Any bootblack could walk up
aud shake hands with either OF the two.
There was no formality, no sentinels stand
