PERHAPS the Argus is as fond of answer
answer these. 1. Was not the return from
Somerville, which Bowler now says was the
original return, in his handwriting, sigma
lures and all? 2. Was not this fact so ap-
parent that Gov. Garcelon admitted it after
looking at the return? 3. Was not the re-
turn counted? 4. Had net the Council
made a rule that returns shoull not be
counted unless actually signed by the select
men and had they not enforced it in respect
to returns from Republican towns? When
the Argus answers these questions we may
have some more to ask.

"Disemboweling" One Another.

No return save the one for Andrew A. r.
SMITH was ever received by the Council,
and the only tabulation ever made by the
Council was for Andrew A. r. Smith. No
contest was made to remedy the error, because,
as the Council have since learned, the original
return was not copy of the record. The re-
cord was made up after the return had been
sent to Augusta. This explains why the re-
cord bears the name of Andrew A. G. Smith
When Mr.. Bowler made the return he thought
Smiths name was A. R., but when he made
up the record he had learned his error as well
as that no correction could be made, because
neither the record or the return was made in
open town meeting, as required by the consti-
tuition. No contest being made, the atten-
tiOn of the Council was not called particularly
to this return and they did not discover that
the names of the selectmen were signed by one
hand.-Fogg in G. l.. Chronicle.
1t is true, we presume, that the corrected re-
turn with the name of Andrew r. G. Smith
was in the hands of the Governor and Council
when the votes for Senator were tabulated, but
it will be remembered that the corrected COPY
containing the signatures of the Selectmen as
well as his own, were written by himself, as he
has since admitted, ard that for this reason the
return was rejected as spurious, and was not
counted. This clears the case from all doubt
and settles the fact that the Republicans sent
the blank return to Mr.. Bowler, and that he
filed it up according to the record, but the
signing of the selectmen's names by himself,
although innocently and as he thought, right
fully done, destroyed its legality, and the Gov
ernor and Council were compelled to reject it.
Editor of Bangor Commercial
Come, gentlemen, get together and agree
upon the story you will stick to in this case.
Here is one of you saying that no return
save the one for Andrew A. r. Smith was
ever received by the Council, while the 9TH
er says it is true that the corrected return
with the name of Andrew r. G.. Smith was
received by the Council. Here is one of you
admitting that the A. r. Smith return was
all in one handwriting, but that this fact
was not discovered and so the return was
counted Here is the other alleging that it
was the r G. Smith return which was all
in one handwriting and that it was
for that reason that the Council

Hale report you seem to be disemboweling

to get together and agree upon the particular
story which you will stick to.

TOO POOR TO TAKE A PAPER.

Moore. Of the Rural New Yorker, was
sitting in his Office one afternoon some
years ago when farmer friend came in
and said:
"Mr. Moore, ! like your paper, but
times are so hard cannot pay for it,
lis that so, friend Jones' l s,n very
Sorry to hear that you are 30 poor; If
you are so hard run ! viii give you MY

"Oh, no, can't take it as a gift"
"Well, then, let's see bow we can fix
it. Ion raise chickens, believe :"
eyes, few; but they dou't bring
anything, hardly" L. .~s,U, /.
"Dou't tbeys Neither does my paper
cost anything, hardly, Now, l have q

tlnue your paper and when you 90
home you may select from your lot one
chicken and call her mine. Take good
care Of her and bring me the proceeds
whether in eggs or chickens, and we
will call it square"
"All right, brother Moore" and the
fellow chnckled at what he thought q
capital bargain. He kept the contract
strictly, and at the end of the year
found that he had paid about four price.
for the paper. He often tells the Joke
himself, and he never had the face. to

that day.
