Were it ouly for the control Of the
state legislature, soon to meet. that
the Maine infainy was sought to DO
consummatsd by the democrats. there
would be occasion for less energy in
resisting it than is manifested by the
republicans Of the state directly con
cerned, and far loss for that which is
shown by the party uyhnut the
country. But The fruits OF the crime
for the details make it nothing less,
are expected by those who are at
tempting it, to be OF much more val.
ne to the party than the mere pos.
session of the state government and
the majority Of the Legislative assem-
bly,. The plot which now appears
to. have been originated prior TO the
election which took place last Sep.
tember, is believed to have been set
on foot by leaders IN the democrat
ic party outside OF Maine, and that
all the force or fraud Of which that
party is master, will be brought in
requisition to accomplish it. 1t is
claimed that not only did corrupt
fusion secretary Of state send oct to
some of the counties, poll books and
tally lists defective 10 form with the
intent fairly presumable that the
canyassers might take advantage Of
these tecbical defects in counting
the voters; but thar during the can
vass of the returns by the governor
und council, which lasted for seven
teen days, all applications on the
part OF the republican candidates in
person, through counsel and through
the republican committee, for the
privilege OF inspecting the returns
with q view to making correction
Of any technical errors was refused,
though the law of the state expressly
provides that the correction ofsuch
errors may be made within certain
time, and that time had not expired
when the privilege Of inspection was.
asked. IL is also asserted that tho
democratic and greenback candidates
were allowed to scrutinize the re.
turns, though the same privilege was
denied TO the republicans. Not
withstanding the claim Of the gov
ernor and his councillors that they
have followed the strict letter OF the
law and the constitution Of the state,
It is undehiably true that the will of
the people has been defeated by
technicalities, a condition that must
always be a great wrong. Never
before has the privilege Of inspect
'ing returns been confined to one
party, aud the fact That this privi.
lege was given to. the defeated party
alone, with the result of overriding
the popular will as expressed at the
polls is ample evidence of tho fraud,
ulent intent with which rhe plan was
: adopted.
0Ethe results which the party at
tempting TO perpetrate this great
wrong expect to reap from it.i it be
successful, the first is, the election
