| -Kennebec Journal: While the count
ing-out consprators are trying TO work up
a boom for themselves, many lifelong
Democrats and honest Greenbackers are
notifying prominent Republicans in quiet
way that they have east their last vote Tor
either of those parties or any fusion that
can be Matched up. The number OF that
kind of men who will vote the Republican
ticket next September Is very large. II
MIR. Blaine Is nominated for President II
will be increased 10 quite host.
The counting out conspirators are
bound to whip the Democrats and Green
hackers into fusion. They lay the lash on
Justify. The Machias Union OF this week
says: "If any Democrat supposes for n
moment that he will stand better with the
great leaders OF the party In the nation by
opposing and standing In the way OF com
bination In this State he Is wofnlly mis-
4 lahtU. ~ "Nh az PsAbfOs
ism beckon us on toward combination, and
oppressed and outraged as the opposition
have been and now are In this State, a
decent regard for self-respcct will hardly
permit us TO do otherwise"
Henry ingalls,, esq, OF Wiscasset, a
prominent Democrat, a member OF the
Iiao investigating committee, and one OF
the signers OF that committee OF the minor
ity report said TO reporter In this city
yesterday, In regard 10 the tabulations,
that they agree with the returns in their
present condition, which shows the latter
must have been altered before they came
into the hands OF the Republicans. The
municipal officers own testimony, said he.
shows the alterations were made after they
left their hands. The natural inference Is
that the guilty parties are those who had
possession of the returns In the interim
Press.
