The Meeting Last Night

The meeting at City Hall last evening was
the largest and most enthusiastic which has
been held in Portland since the days of the
war. As testimony of the deep and general
interest that the Republicans of this city
take in the political issues now awaiting
the judgment of the people and as an earnest
of the work to be done during the campaign
it was most gratifying. The close attention
given to the addresses made, and the keen
and rapid appreciation of the arguments ad-
vanced show an intelligent interest in the
political situation and recognition of the
gravity of the contest. All this indicates a
great vote and decisive majority.
If the campaign be pl osecuted in the en-
thusiastic spirit with which it is entered up
on Maine will give the State and National
tickets greater Republican vote than it
has ever yet thrown. Reports from all
parts of the State are of the most encour-
aging nature. Our friends elsewhere may
confidently rely upon the assurance that the
city of Portland and the County of Cumber-
land and the First District of Maine will do
their whole duty, and largely and generous
ly contribute to Governor Davis's majority
in September.

The Argus and the Slower Case

l LIZ @A1 8 SAo eoA4St oA4O 0OOFSl SCtOO
Wonder when the PRESS is going 70 sub
tantiate its statement that Josiah A. Slower
was counted in as Fusion Senator for York
county last Fall and give us the particulars
Argus.
The PRESS has several times already Civ
eE the facts in the Slower case, but as the
argus seems to have relish for the shame
full story of forgery, fraud and deceit which
it defended last winter and is defending
now we will repeat that story.
Josiah A. Stover was one of the Fusion
candidates for Senator from York county
and was defeated. The Tabulators under
took, however, to count him in. The town
clerk of Wells returned the vote from
that town for Josiah Slower, leav-
ing out the middle initial GAP. The
Council decided that returns for Senators or
Representatives could not be corrected either
by the record or by oral testimony. This
decision would have compelled the counting
of Wells for "Josiah Stover.'' thus los
ing the vote of that town to the Fusion can
didate. In order that Mr. Stover should no
lose this vote the Tabulators, or men work.
ing in their in crest, resorted to forgery.
The return now appears "Josiah A. Stow
er," The ga" is crowded in between the
"Josiah" and ''Stover" and it is evident at
a glance that it was inserted after those two
names were written. Part of the ''S'' too,
at the beginning of 'Stover'' was scratched
out and rewritten to make room for the
"A'. The town clerk of Wells swore posi-
lively that he did not make the ga" and on
his record, and minutes from which the re-
turn was made up, the name in every case
appears as "Josiah Stover.''
Again. In the return from Dayton Mr.
Stover's name was written "Josiah II.
Stover," and the Tabulators or their con-
federates changed the III to an A by con-
Meeting the two upright lines at the top.
The clerk of the town swore that the letter
was changed, but not by him. When he
sent it to Augusta it was an Fl.
Thus two forgeries were committed to
count Mr.. Stover in. Does the Argus con-
tend that the Republicans were so anxious
to have Fusionist counted in that thew
committed these forgeries?
1t is true that Mr.. Slower was not count
ed in, though the PRESS few DAYS ago
accidently stated to the contrary. Even
after these two returns were doctored Mr.
Stover was in the minority and no available
method seems to have occurred to the Tab
ulators by which to change this minority to
majority. But are the men who committed
or connived at ttete forgeries any less
criminal because their ultimate design was
not achieved? Is he man who breaks open
the door of bank building in the secrecy
of night and batters down the exterior de-

American Railways and the British
Land System.

American Railways ana the BRUSH
Land System.
The last number of the Fortnightly Re-
view (London) contains an interesting arti-
Gle from the pen of an American, Mr.. Ed
ward Atkinson-upon the railroads of the
United States, their effect upon farming
and production in this country and their
possible influence in determining the Brit
ish land ques ton, now the subject of SO
much discussion. The writer lays down as
bis first proposition that vast saving of
labor has been effected in the eastern por-
ton of the United States by the extension
OF the railroad system to the West, in pro-
curing bread and meat at less cost; and Sec
ondly, that the art of agriculture in the
Eastern States has in recent years made a
great advance in the methods of work and
the variety of products through the same
agency.
An argument to sustain the second prop
Osition is found in the reduced areas of our
farms and the greater variety of crops pro-
duced. Formerly greater breadth of acres
was necessary to produce the indispensable
articles of corn and wheat, and the exchange
of these into bread and meat and the other
necessaries as well as the luxuries of life
was laborous and required much time
Gradually, as the railroads extended to-
ward the West, facilitating exchanges and
developing the resources of the country, the
necessity for cultvating the pioneer crops
of corn and wheat in the East diminished,
large farms were wholly or partially aban-
doncd, especially in the more sterile sec
tions and in localities remote from railroads
and gave place to smaller ones. The East
ern farmer pays more attention now to the
cultivation of hay, fruits, vegetables, dairy
products and other things that find imme-
diate consumption and cannot well be trans
ported long distances. Some favorite kinds
of Indian corn which exceed the Western
product in hardness, sweetness and nutri-
tiousness have been retained for the table,
however. Under this change of products
and improved methods of tillage, our farms
have become more productive. The changed
order is nor SO apparent in our own State,
we grant, but the tendency is in this direction
as a careful observer must admit. Massach-
usetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut show
it in marked degree, and it is especially
noticeable in the Genessee and Mohawk val
leys, which were once the wheat growing
centre of the United States, and in Mary
land and Eastern Virginia, and is beginning

Whatever may be thought Of the politi-
cal campaign elsewhere, every lover of
good government and common honesty
should hope for the defeat of the unhOIy
political combination i'm Maine which
brought disgrace upon that reputable State
last year. We have heard prominent Dem
Ocrats express the same sentiment, their
disgust for the folly of the Garcelon crowd
overcoming all party feeling. If the peo-
pie of Maine do not rise up and rebuke the
political cuf-throats whose infamous rec
ord caused every SON of Maine to blush we
snail lose our faith in natural Iaw.-BosToN
