The long g-drawn-Out agony in Maine
promises now to end with the establish
ment of the Republican government.
The tenor of events since the adverse
opinion of the supreme court on the
questions submitted by Gov. Garcelon
has pointed to that result, and supple
mented as it was by al opinion 'recog-
nizing" the irregularly constituted Re-
publican Legislature, the news OF the
election, by that body of Davis,th Repub-
lican candidate for governor, and his
taking possession of the state house and
assumption of the powers OF the guber-
material office, is entirely in accordance
with the nature of things. The most no
table feature of this whole trouble has
been the facility which the supreme judi
cial tribunal has exhibited in reversing
itself and turning itself completely inside
out in ODE edience to the requirements Oh
partisan eXpediency. To any unpre]u-
diced legal mind the action OF Gov. Gar
| celon and his council and the subsequent
proceedings of the Legislature appeared
| to be in entire accordance with the con-
stitution, the law, and Il long line of Re
publican precedents; yet this accommo'
dating tribunal, which, as is elsewhere
shown, has been SO very particular III
constituting the law in accordance with its
strictest letter where Republican inter
ests were advanced by so doing, now de-
cides that the equities take precedence o
the law; and 9 mistakes go over" will
Republicans, that were so vigorously con
demned and punished when committed
by Democrats.

Maine Law.


In 1877, when the Republican governor
and council of Maine counted out DEM
ocratic members of the Legislature be-
cause the returns were defective, the
Democrats appealed to the supreme
court, and on the 22d of December, 1877,
from full court, received the following
answer:
'sIt is to be regretted that votes are lost
6y tile negligence Of tooon officers, but the OBJ
yious remedy is to choose such as know
their duty, and, knowing it, will perform
it."
The Democrats and GreenbackerS pro-
fitted by this advice, chose officers g who
knew their duty" and by a strict adher-
ence to the law secured a governor, coun-
Gil and majority of all the Legislature.
The governor and council throw out the
defective returns and unseat Republican
members; and then this same supreme
court gives another opinion (Jan. 3, 1SSO)
in these words.
The representative is not to be de-
prived of his rig int because municipal Off
GERS have neglected their duty !'
Could partisan inconsistency go
further When Democrat is counted
out because of defective returns the
court says, in effect, " it is your own
fault; why didn't you choose compe-
tent election officers ?" When Repub-
lican is counted out for defective returns
the court bristles up and says, 90, no
you can't do that the representative is
not to be deprived of his right because
municipal officers have neglected their
duty"

to the open air concert by the Ravenna
Silver COrnet Band. The concert open
ed at O'Clock, and as the first strains
f1Oated out on the evening air, our cit
iZens seemed to turn out en- masse to
enjoy the musical treat. The sidewalks
were thronged with; people. and the
street filled with vehicles, all bent on
listening to the excellent music. The
band NEEDS no praise at our hands.
Nothing that we might say would add
to their excellence. Suffice it to say
that their music was Of a.high order
and duly appreciated. At a later hour
an elegant supper was spread at the
Collins HOhse for the musicians.
Thanks, gentlemen, for thus coming
within our gates to entertain our peO-
pie with your inspiring music ,and may
you come often during the pleasant
evenings. We will assure you
