On Monday evening Hon. E. H. Cove of
Biddeford addressed an assembly of some 700
people from the piazza of the Whitehouse at
Cumberland Mills. Mr.. Goves speech was
addressed particularly to his Greenback
friends and was clear, able and honest pre-
sentation of reasons why all honest Green
hackers should reject fusion and affiliate with
the Republican party. He paid his respects to
General Anderson, whose record he showed
up in a decidedly unenviable light Mr.. Cove
held the close attention of the audience for an
hour and was frequently applauded. At the
close OF the speech three hearty cheers were
given for the speaker. Mr.. Jos. Dunnell call
ed the meeting to order and H. X. Griggs was
chosen chairman.
The Garfield Guards and Davis Cadets num-
bering IS torches. with the Westbrook Cornet
Band, marched down from Saccarappa and
paraded the principal streets previous to the
address. There were many fine Examinations
of residences along the line of march, among
which two of the paper compa MES boarding
houses, and the residenceof Mr.. John Wheeler
were particularly noticeable. There was also
a profuse display of fireworks at different
points.
MIR. w. S. Longley, che agent of the paper
mills, with his family, arrived home from
Europe Monday afternoon. During the even
ing he was visited by many friends at his resi-
dence, and he was favored with a serenade by
the Westbrook Cornet Band.
A soldier who was under Gen. Shepley, says
in reference to Gen. Buffers statement in
City Hall the other evening, that at the second
election of Lincoln his regiment cast 700 bal
lots, and all but so of these were Republican.

turn this curve is in different ink from the
rest of the letter.
Mr. John Fl. Stillings, clerk of Berwick,
testified before the Hale committee that he
was well acquainted with Mr.. Wakefeld's
name that he had frequently written it, and
that he wrote it correctly on the return. He
also testified, and an examination of other AS
in his return shows it, that he was not accus-
toned to make an A like the one thatappears
on the return in question. The vote was orig
inally tabulated for George II. Wakefield and
afterwards the tabulation was erased and the
vote given to George A. Wakefield. The for
gerry is as conclusively proved as anything can
be by human testimony.
The Portland daily press., 1880-09-08

The above is a fac smile of the name of Mr.
Wakefield, one of the Republican candidates
for Senator from York county, as it now ex-
lists upon the return from the town of Ber-
wick. Mr.. Wakefields name is George H.
Wakefield and it was originally SO written by
the clerk of the town and afterwards the mid
die initial was changed to an A by the Tabu-
lators so % to count Mr.. Wakefield out. Mr..
Wakefield lost 25S votes by this forgery,
en- ough to give his fusion competitor plural
ity. This alteration is not not SO apparent
from an inspection of the fac smile as in the
Walker and Bragdon cases, but close exam
nation will show that the curve which unites
the two upright strokes was put on after the
rest of the letter was completed. In the re-

The Censpirators' defence.


The conspirators' statement admits the re-
lection of the returns from four Republican
cities because signed by only three aidermen
but does not explain why they did not ifsue
certificates in these cases after the first opinion
of the court was received. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Garcelon on Saturday evening
preceding the reception of that opinion, said
in public meeting that he hoped every citi-
zen acould abide the By opinion when it should be
received, and yet he acas the first man to dis
regard it. The statement then treats of the
Skowhegan case which is so we'll understood
as to require no discussion here. They said
the return which was sent to the cities was
printed according to the taste of the printer
but the Skowhegan ballot could not be excused
upon that ground.
The only excuse now offered for its rejection
is that the Court in "a Me. COZ gave as the on
ty reason why return could not be rejected
by Governor and Council upon this ground
shat the fact that the ballot had distinguish
ing marks did not appear on the face of the re-
turn" and they claim to have acted under
that decision.
The case which they cite is quoted by Mr..
Plaisted in his digest as follows: "The pre-
siding officers at an election are the sole judges
of what constitutes distinguishing mark up
on ballot under the provisions of r. S. CHI. 4,
sec. 30, and after they haze receioed and
counted any Uotes the Governor and Council
haze no poacer to reject them.
The case in fact denies the authority of the
Governor and Council upon two grounds:
1-Because the statute which prohibits the
