The joke of the thing is that Fogg during
his absence never saw a live Indian, and was
not engaged minute in the service of the
State. He was simply on an electioneering
tour, and during his absence made several
campaign speeches. He also went to Calais
and participated in the consultation at Whid-

curately described. He charged for rail-
road fare from Calais to Eastport, when
there is no railroad between the two places
The returns and ahidavits will be found to
be ''good easy reading" and will implicate
prominent democrats and greenbackers in
Kennebec, Androscoggin, Oxford, Franklin
and Washington counties.
The returns from Washington county are
in far worse condition than was represented
by County Attorney Rounds and the returns
from Oxford will discount those from WASH
ington.
The public may rest assured that the inves-
tigating committee will go to the bottom of
the whole affair, showing in the most clear
light cases Of forgery, substitution of returns,
and acts of petty and grand larceny which
will DE startling.

trated bv those received at the Secretary of
States office yesterday from one Of the small
or towns in the State. There we're three
books, comprising the valuation for the years
1877. 1878, and 1879, but in neither OF the
hooks was there q word to indicate in any
manner what town they were FROM Probably
when notified, among the other delinquent
towns. to send in their returns, the assessors
will be indignant, and claim that their returns
have been sent in, and that somebody besides
themselves is at fault because they nave ho'
been duly credited.
