A WISE AND TIMELY CONCESSION.
rKanpehae journal ReD1


Some of the discounted conspirators are NUT
tering that this opinion is merely advisory, and
that they will go forward in entire disregard OF
the Judgment OF the Court, and organize the
Legislature on the basis of fraud which the
Court SO signally condemns. This is the idle
vaporing of men in the first wrath OF great
disappointment. We live under Govern
ment of Law, and the Court OF supreme and
last resort has spoken. The people of Maine do
not intend that the voice of the court shall be
disregarded or dsobeyed. The Executive de-
partment has in mere than fifty cases since
Maine was State asked the Judgment of the
Supreme Judicial Tribunal, ION important
questions of law and never in single in
stance has there been reluctance or hesitancy
in obeying its commands. And there actH not
be nol0. Common sense and common honesty
have not wholly died out in the Democratic
party and the very stones in the streets will
cry out against the base attempt to turn this
State over to neutrality-suspicious. instltutng
government of Fraud and Force, instead OF
government of Justice and OF Law.
Governor Garcelon made wise and timely
concession to the popular demand when he sub
mtted the questions. He has his answers, and
If he possesses any of the character and firm
ness which his supporters attribute to him, ne
will enforce the judgment OF the Court; Inc
power lies ready to his hand, and unless he has
lost all perception of duty and every instinct
of honor, he will march straight forward to
the end He has left but the briefest span OF
official life but it is long enough to enable him
in part to efface the evil which he has inflicted
on the state. The success of justice does not
depend on Gov. Garcelon, but Gov Garcelon
will find that much to him, throughout his
life depends on the integrity with which he
follows the course he has himself laid down.
