DIn FOGG BLACKMAlL THE
BOURBONS,

VIII Mr.. Frank VI. Fogg take the
stand HoSgsr TRurH wants to ques-
ton him upon an interesting if not i'm
portant point in Fusion party manage
ment.
Once upon time, not long ago, there
was Democratic conference, and it hay-
ing come 10 the generous and roomy ears
Of Fogg that there was mischief in the
wind, he went there although not invited.
To make short of what threatened to be
long matter, this conference of distin-
guished Bourbons had it all cut and dried
hard to denounce the Fusion state steal.
put i upon the shoulders Of Fogg and
copartners alone, and try to lead an
honest party career once more,
At this interesting point, togg stepped
in bearing a bundle OF letters, written TO
VARGAS persons about the State House.
and bearing the signatures OF some OF
the interesting Bourbons there present.
"Hold!" SAID Eosg. Before You con-
clude this part of your business, let me
read something of interest to you, |,
may have some influence upon your de.
alterations
Theseupon he read and read letter after
letter containing such sentiments plainly
written, as Ego ahead and count out the
ID Radicals !" 1--WE viii austain you
in cleaning GU, the Republicans by any
and al means. Give EN- hell - We
need not heap up the disgusting evidence
which Fogg rolled under his tongue as
sweet morsel.
Now. Mr., Foss, answer! Isn't this
statement substantially true:
Didn't the Democrats threaten to set
you adrift to sink with the whole burden
of the State steal:
Didn't you then and there fiaunt letters
in the faces Of the writers. and command
halt at the peril Of publication,
Didn't you then and there force the
frightened Bourbons to consent 10 yolr
nomination for Congress
Didn't you hold under your thumb the
Bourbon convention in your distric; BY
the same means.
That is all now, Mr.. Fogg But Hon
EST Truth may claim the privilege OF
recalling you. There are more funny
things in this campaign then were ever
before dreamed Of in Fusion philosophy

a misspelled name, but because q Eianta-
ton did not return its check list. Bisbee
then read from an early defense of the steal
that Burnham was counted out because in
one town all the names of municipal officers
we're in one handwriting, thus proving
him in lie before tne AUDIENCE.
Fogg complained that Bisbee would
not let him take the tabulation sheet and
afidavits which Fogg had declared to be
fargefies without seeing them. Bisbee
told that fogs 10 eoms W Il Ire tstle
and look at them if he wanted to. but
after investigating the doings of Garce-
celon Il Co., be had decided that if he
ever wanted to see any of his papers
again, it vas best te keep them in his
own hands. We are glad that Mr.. Bis
bee took just that ground. When our
people visited Augusta to see the election
returns, a Councillor was seated each side
Of the visitor, and when one Waterman
left he called for another TO "cope and
see that. this fellow don't steal any Of
these returns" Now they know how it
is themselves.
Fogg closed by charging an increase of
ta3ation upon the party, and declared
that the Garceiol Council and Govern
ment was more economical than its pre-
decessors. Bisbee replied that the reduc-
ton of expenses was only pretended, and
cited the case of Mark Harden, messen-
ger, whose salary vas REDUCED TO $500,
but who received in addition from $3.50
to $500 for extra services. He called to
mind that Gov. Garcelon drew $4,000
from the State treasury for which he had
not properly accounted, and that Ian.
caster, Superintendent Of Public Build
ing, sold on his own hook 80 yards of
fine tapestry carpet belonging to the
State. These he gave as instances of
and reform as practiced by the
fusionists. He said the last CouHcl drew
more than that of 1878. When Fogg
shook the Hale report in his face, Bis
bee replied that the committee adjourned
without unearthing half the Faseality Of
e. Co., new facts are coming
70 light every day and every hour.
II Mr.. Bisbee stated his facts and made
his charges plainly and quietly, while
FOgg, with great flourish and shout
.ried to cover up the weakness Of his
defense, and few well posted claques
1ept up an appearance Of applause. It
viii be noted in September that facts,
not shouts are what tell.

THE FAIRFIELD CASE.
One of the most conspicuous Of the
frauds perpe,rated BY Garcelon and his
crew, was the Fairfield case. II appeared
in the testimony brought before the inyes-
tigating committee that the Republican
Selectmen. on the day of election. BY a
mistake, overlooked twenty ballots which
had been cast for the Fusion ticket. In
stead of keeping still about it, as pro-
gressive rusionist would have done, they
at once notified the department at Au-
gusta of the mistake, and asked for new
blanks on which they might mxks OUT
amended returns. These were furnished
them BY Simon S. Brown of Fairfield, a
member of Garcelons Council, who on
account of his residence in the town, took
a special interest in the case. On the
margin of the new return they pasted a
slip Of paper on which was marked,
"a Amended Return of the town Of Fair
field, Sept. 25, 1879, and to place the
matter beyond the possibility of q mis-
take, they enclosed the following letter
exp aiming the whole transaction:
FAIRFIELD, Sept. 25, 1879.
To he Secretary ef State, Aagustd, Me-.
SR:-Herewith please mad amended re-
port of the town Of Fsirneld, made 10
